Invitation-Based  ·  Referral Partner Program

You're already making introductions for free.

The TIH Collective is for professionals who operate in rooms where TIH's clients already are. You make the introduction. TIH qualifies, sells, and delivers. You earn when TIH collects. That is the whole arrangement.

Applications reviewed within two business days. W-9 captured at application.

This is an invitation-based program for professionals with direct access to the businesses TIH serves. You introduce. TIH closes and delivers. You get paid when TIH collects, not before.

The Collective Payout

What you earn.
Every eligible offer, one page.

Payouts on consulting and advisory engagements are calculated on Net Revenue Collected, the revenue TIH actually receives minus payment processing fees only. Destination management full production pays on net after direct vendor and production costs.

The Collective Payout

The name for what TIH pays you on a closed referral. Some offers pay a flat amount. Others pay a percentage set by your partner tier. Both are The Collective Payout, and both are paid the same way: after TIH receives and clears the client's payment.

Tier Advancement

Points move your rate.
Higher-value referrals move it faster.

Tiers advance on a weighted points system over a rolling twelve months, not raw referral count. Reviewed quarterly, with written tier status updates.

Tier Protect Rule

Once you reach Charter Partner, your rate never drops below Principal (15%) in any rolling 12-month window where you earn at least 1 point. Zero points in a rolling 12-month period returns you to Associate.

The Workspace Payout

One rule. Same numbers.
Monthly or annual.

TIH Foundation Workspace is the monthly plan that holds a client's leads, follow-up, bookings, and payments in one place, maintained for them every month. Whether the signup comes through your referral submission or your affiliate link, the payout is identical. Simple by design, built to stay simple as this grows.

Baseline Plan

Workspace Baseline

$247 per month, or $2,470 per year
$48
Monthly signup  ·  $144 on an annual signup

System fees included, one done-for-you email campaign or twice-monthly newsletter, an AI visibility snapshot, and a full digital presence check every month.

Revenue Engine Plan

Workspace Revenue Engine

$347 per month, or $3,470 per year
$60
Monthly signup  ·  $180 on an annual signup

Everything in Baseline plus done-for-you social content, text message setup, a monthly one-page performance report, and 1-business-day response.

When it pays

Monthly plans pay after the client's second cleared month. Annual plans pay 30 days after the year clears. Free trials do not pay.

Extended trial

Your referrals receive a 14-day free trial instead of the standard 7 days. Use it. It closes fence-sitters.

Annual pays more

A client who prepays the year earns you three times the monthly payout and counts double toward your tier. A single signup still pays once, through whichever channel is credited first.

Also in your kit: the Affiliate side.

Every approved Referral Partner is automatically enrolled in The TIH Collective Affiliate Program and issued a unique tracking link. Your link pays a flat $48 on every Blueprint Clarity Session ($250) purchased through it, plus the Workspace payouts above and a flat 10% on system build purchases. Referral submissions and affiliate links are tracked separately. One transaction never pays both.

$48
Flat payout, per Blueprint Clarity Session
Get Your Referrer ID One application covers both programs.

Quality Bonus Program

When your referral becomes
a long-term TIH client.

If a client you referred completes a consulting engagement and continues with TIH on an ongoing retainer within 12 months of the close, you earn a one-time flat bonus. A recognition payment, in addition to The Collective Payout you already earned.

Retainer Conversion

Brand Infrastructure Retainer

$2,500 per month
$1,000

One-time flat bonus, paid within 30 days of TIH clearing the first retainer payment.

Managed Operations Retainer

$5,000 to $10,000 per month
$2,500

One-time flat bonus, paid within 30 days of TIH clearing the first retainer payment.

Retainer Conversion

Multi-Venture Operations Board

$20,000+ per month
$5,000

Conditions

  • The original Collective Payout on that engagement must have been paid in full before the bonus triggers
  • The retainer must begin within 12 months of the engagement close date
  • TIH must have received and cleared the first retainer payment
  • The bonus does not recur, does not apply to renewals, and creates no ongoing payout on retainer revenue

Attribution and Ownership

How credit is assigned.
No ambiguity.

Four rules govern every referral. Know them before you submit.

First-to-Submit

The first Referral Partner to register a prospect through an official TIH channel receives full credit. Duplicate submissions: the earlier timestamp wins. No exceptions, no appeals.

Ownership Window

90 days on all builds and event engagements, measured from the date TIH classifies the referral as Qualified. 120 days on Workspace signups and affiliate activity. If the engagement doesn't close within the window, attribution lapses and the prospect returns to TIH's open pipeline. Windows are not extended or paused.

Active Opportunity Exclusion

A prospect already working with TIH is not eligible: two-way communication with TIH staff or vendors in the last 30 days with a next action on file, quiz completion within 90 days, a purchased or scheduled Blueprint Clarity Session, or any existing client relationship with TIH. Exception: if the prospect came in through your own affiliate link, you keep the right to submit them for a full engagement referral.

Incrementality Requirement

Referrals must bring genuine net-new value. No credit for prospects already working through TIH's process or who would have engaged through TIH's own outreach. TIH reserves the right to deny credit for any referral that doesn't demonstrate true additive value.

FTC Disclosure, Required

You must disclose. Every time.

FTC endorsement enforcement is active and civil penalties apply per violation. Disclosure is not optional in this program.

Recommended Disclosure Language

"I want to be transparent. I have a referral arrangement with TIH Industries. If you engage them, I may receive compensation."

  • Disclosure must appear upfront in every written introduction: email, LinkedIn message, or text, never buried at the bottom
  • Public social posts require a clear tag such as #ad, #referralpartner, or #affiliate in the visible portion of the post
  • Reactive disclosure, waiting to be asked, does not satisfy this requirement
  • Noncompliant partners forfeit The Collective Payout for that engagement and may be removed from the program

Who Qualifies as a Referral

Four kinds of businesses.
One diagnostic tool.
