A plain guide

How to make money referring businesses, without selling

You do not need to be in sales to earn income from referrals. You need relationships and a simple, repeatable way to turn an introduction into a commission. Here is exactly how it works.

How do you make money referring businesses?

You introduce a business to a service that saves or recovers money for it, and you earn a commission when that business becomes a client. You do not sell, and you do not do the work. With WealthStream the commission runs up to 50%, is paid as earned, and can include residual income on select services.

The four steps

01

Pick a business you already know

Start with a relationship, a practice, an employer, or a business owner who has a problem worth solving. Warm beats cold every time.

02

Make a simple introduction

Connect them with the team by a quick call, email, or in person. You are not pitching, just opening the door.

03

Let the team do the work

The analysis, proposal, compliance, and delivery are handled for you. You stay out of the sales process entirely.

04

Get paid as it is earned

You earn up to 50% commission once the business becomes a client, plus residual income on select services for as long as they stay.

Common questions

How do you make money referring businesses?

You introduce a business to a service that saves or recovers money for it, and you earn a commission when that business becomes a client. With WealthStream that commission runs up to 50%, is paid as earned, and on select services adds residual income for as long as the client stays.

Can you really make money just from introductions?

Yes, when the introductions are warm and the service delivers real value. Because the services are results-based and cost nothing to explore, a trusted introduction converts far more often than a cold pitch, and a single one can pay for years on select services.
