Referral Partner Program

Help your clients find the right business software. Earn up to 20% in referrals.

Are you a trusted advisor?

If you work with mid-sized businesses, you are eligible to participate in the referral program.

Typical referral partners include:

  • Business consultants
  • Accountants
  • Lawyers
  • IT service providers
  • Business brokers
  • … and other trusted advisors

It's simple to participate

You identify a specific software requirement, tell your client about Software Shortlist, and register your referral via email or webform.

We telephone your client to explain our matching service and confirm they want to participate.

If so, we discuss their software requirements and connect them with relevant solution providers.

Get paid 20% for referrals

We pay you 20% of all net revenue we earn matching your referrals with software providers.

Our revenue comes from upfront matching fees and in some cases a success fee if the prospect buys from a matched provider.

Get paid monthly your share of revenue from referred prospects. Alternatively, it can be donated to a charity of your choice.

Why have a Referral Program?

We know that many small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are unsure how to proceed in selecting business or enterprise software.

With hundreds of software options, confusing IT jargon, and limited time and resources, SMBs often turn to trusted advisors like you for advice.

Software Shortlist specialize in matching SMBs with relevant software providers. We have an extensive network and database, and take pride in making highly relevant connections.

Our Referral Partner Program provides an effective and rewarding way for you to help your clients find the right software

The Referral Program means (i) we help more people, (ii) your client finds the right software, and (iii) you get rewarded for your referrals.

That's what we call a "win-win-win".
