Step 1: Enroll as a referral partner
Open Lead Network → Referral Network and fill in the Referral-partner enrollment: legal name, tax classification, mailing address and tax ID, then sign by typing your name. That’s your W-9.
Step 2: Connect your payout account
Click Connect payout account (Stripe) so your earnings can be paid to your bank.
Step 3: Refer a customer
Under Refer a client to a pro on the network, search by trade or brand and ZIP, enter the customer’s name, phone or email and what they need, and click Send referral.
Step 4: Accept referrals sent to you
Under Referrals sent to you, click Accept or Decline, and Mark booked once it’s on your schedule. You pay the network fee only when that job is paid: 10% on jobs up to $2,000 and 5% above that.
Step 5: Track your earnings
Open the earnings view on the same page. Four totals across the top, Pending (the referred job isn’t paid yet), In hold, Available and Paid out, filter the list when you click them. Each row shows where the earning came from: the customer, the service, the job amount, the network fee, your share, its status and dates. When Available reaches $25, a company admin can click Request payout; real payouts need your W-9 and a connected payout account first.
You earn 30% of the network fee, up to $500 a job, when the referred job is paid within 90 days. Earnings are held 30 days after the payment settles, and pay out to your bank once you reach $25.
