Program Overview- Refer & Earn
The Program allows Referrers (individuals and businesses) to receive the Referral Fees (Referral Commission) by referring any known third parties/their clients/partners to become customers of Matellio.
The referrer will fill up the form by opening a unique URL (“Referral Link”) in the dashboard or can share the Referral Link with the person they want to refer.
Participation in the Program has 6 phases:
- Referral Program Signup
- Submitting Referrals
- Referrals’ Qualification Analysis
- Commission Allotment
- Payment of Commission
- Referral Progress Tracking
1. Refer Signup
- Individuals interested in joining our Refer and Earn Program (Referrers) must register with Matellio’s refer and earn platform.
- After signing up, Referrers need to fill in their basic contact details. Fields marked with * (asterisk) are mandatory to fill to complete the profile. Fields marked “optional“ can be filled later.
- Finally, the referrer can fill up their PayPal address at which they wish to receive the commission. You can also skip this step to update it later.
2. Submitting Referrals
The Referral submission process is as follows:
- To refer a prospect, click the ‘click here‘ button on the dashboard to get your unique Referral Link.
- You can also find this link in the Assets tab on the left side of the dashboard.
- Copy the link and open it in another tab.
**Note: Do not alter the URL. Every referrer is assigned a unique URL to help Matellio track the source of the referrals. Changing it will disable the tracking, and the Referral Fees will not be applicable.
- Referrer can fill in the details here, along with the project requirements of the person they want to refer.
- Alternatively, the referrer can share the unique Referral Link with the person and let them fill in their requirements themselves.
- Referrers can use the same link to refer multiple times to different prospects.
Note: We will reach out to the referrer first, in either case, to learn more about the referrer’s relationship with the Referred and their requirement.
- Upon submitting the Referral Form, the Referrer will be redirected to a “Thank You” page as follows:
3. Referrals’ Qualification Analysis
Each Referral Request received by Matellio shall meet the following eligibility criteria:
- The Referred has the requirement for the services provided by Matellio.
- The Referred has a clear requirement of the services required, which makes it possible to evaluate the project size and value (initially in the form of a ballpark estimation).
A Referral Request will be marked as not eligible if (“non-eligibility criteria”):
- The referred has no intention to opt for the Services provided by Matellio.
- The Referred has the intention to purchase a ready-made solution.
- The Referred’s business is related to adult content, drugs, or gambling.
- The Referred contact person does not respond to Matellio’s contact attempts and has not confirmed their interest in Matellio’s Services.
- The Referred is the former, present, or soon-to-be customer of Matellio or is referred by someone else before them.
- Referral eligibility and final approval are determined by our Business Analysts based on criteria like service request type, project scope, budget, etc.
NOTE: Matellio reserves the right at its sole discretion to add, remove or change the eligibility criteria at any time during the Term of the Agreement, even though these changes may affect the referrer’s ability to obtain the Fees.
After the final qualification evaluation by Matellio’s Business analysts, the Referral Request becomes a “Qualified Opportunity”.

- Qualified bonus of $200 for each Qualified Opportunity.
- 3% commission of total project value if the referred onboards with Matellio as a client.

NOTE: The Qualified bonus shall be paid every time on every Qualified Opportunity.
5. Payment of Commission
- The qualified bonus will be paid as a whole amount.
- The project-based commission will be paid in milestones matching project milestones.
