Partner program
Refer the
work. Share
the result.
You know a business struggling with spreadsheets, a payroll run that takes three days, or an ERP project that has stalled. We do that work. Introduce us, and you earn commission on what closes — with every referral tracked in a portal, so you can see where it stands without having to ask.
An introduction is worth something. This is what it is worth.
Most of our work arrives through someone who already had the client's trust — an accountant who saw the month-end pain, a consultant who inherited a broken implementation, an IT provider whose customer asked a question outside their scope.
The partner program makes that arrangement explicit. You tell us who to speak to and why. We do what we do: evaluation and selection, implementation, rescue and recovery, training. If it turns into paid work, you are paid a share of it, on terms agreed before the deal closes rather than argued about after.
There is no cost to join, no quota, no exclusivity, and nothing to sell. You are not reselling our services or carrying any obligation for delivery — you are making an introduction and being paid when it turns into business.
- Costs nothing to join. No fee, no minimum, no commitment to a number of referrals.
- Every application is reviewed. We approve partners by hand, usually within a couple of business days.
- You keep your relationship. You decide how involved to stay; we will tell you what is happening either way.
- Paid on results. Commission follows signed, paid work — not meetings, not proposals.
- Tracked in writing. Status, commission amounts and payment dates all live in your portal account.
- English and French. The whole portal, and everything we send you, in either language.
From introduction to payment.
Apply
Register on the partner portal with your name, company and email. It takes a minute, and you choose your own password. We review every application before activating an account, so there is a short wait before you can submit anything.
Get approved
We check who you are and that the program makes sense for both of us, then approve the account. You get an email the moment that happens, and the portal opens up.
Submit a referral
Tell us the company, who to speak to, roughly how big they are and what the situation is — the more context, the better the first conversation goes. Each referral gets its own reference number, like VL-2026-0042, so it can be discussed without ambiguity.
We take it from there
We make contact, qualify the opportunity and run our normal process. As it moves — initial call, qualified, proposal, negotiation, won or lost — the status changes in your account and you are emailed. If it goes nowhere, you are told that too, rather than left wondering.
Get paid
When the contract is signed, the commission is attached to your referral on the terms agreed for that product, with the amount and the due date visible in your account. Payments follow the schedule shown — one payment for one-off work, or a series for a subscription.
Commission takes the shape of the deal.
A one-off implementation and a monthly subscription are not the same kind of sale, so they are not paid the same way. Rather than force one formula onto everything, we keep a small set of commission shapes and apply whichever fits the product sold.
Which one applies, and at what rate, depends on the product and the size of the engagement. We agree it with you rather than publishing a number here that would be wrong half the time — and once it is attached to your referral, the terms are frozen. A change of policy later does not reach back and change what you were promised on a deal already signed.
Commission is earned on business that completes. A proposal that is never signed pays nothing, and a signed contract that the client cancels is not a deal either of us gets to keep.
- A share of the contract. A percentage of what the client signs for — the usual arrangement on a project.
- Recurring on a subscription. A percentage of the subscription for an agreed number of months, paid as it runs rather than all at once.
- A flat fee. A fixed amount per closed deal, whatever its size. Straightforward, and often the right answer on smaller work.
- A non-monetary benefit. Something other than cash — a free month on a product, for example — where that is worth more to you than a payment.
- When it is set
- When the deal is won, on the terms agreed for that product
- When it is paid
- On the due dates shown in your account, after the client has paid us
- How you are paid
- By the method noted on your account — we hold no bank details in the portal
- Currency
- Canadian dollars, unless the deal itself is in US dollars
People who hear about the problem first.
- Accountants and bookkeepers. You see the month-end close, the manual journals and the spreadsheet holding the business together.
- Independent consultants. You are already advising on process or finance, and the system keeps coming up as the constraint.
- IT and managed service providers. Your client asks about ERP, payroll or HR software, and it sits outside what you deliver.
- Software and hosting partners. You sell or support products that need selection, implementation or training around them.
- Industry associations and networks. Your members ask the same operational questions, and you would rather point them somewhere accountable.
- Former colleagues and clients. You have worked with us, know how we deliver, and hear when someone else needs it.
- A business outgrowing spreadsheets, QuickBooks or a legacy system.
- An ERP or payroll platform reaching end of support, with a deadline attached.
- An implementation that has stalled, blown its budget, or gone live badly.
- A company with Canadian payroll or HR requirements it is handling by hand.
- A team about to buy software after a single demo, with no requirements written down.
- Someone who has told you they need help — not a name pulled from a list.
We work with businesses in Canada today, and expect to follow clients into the United States. If your contact sits elsewhere, tell us anyway and we will be straight with you about whether we can serve them well.
Two rules, and both are about the person you are referring.
A referral program goes wrong in exactly one way: somebody's contact details get passed around without their knowing, and the first they hear of it is a cold email. We would rather lose a referral than do that to your contact — or to your relationship with them.
- Ask them first. Before you submit a referral, the person should know we will be in touch. Canadian anti-spam law puts the responsibility on us as the sender, and "a partner gave me the address" is not a defence. The form asks you to confirm this, and we take the confirmation seriously.
- Tell us what is true. Describe the situation as it is, including the awkward parts. A referral that arrives with a realistic picture gets a better first conversation than one that has been talked up.
- Introduce, do not represent. You are not speaking for Vaydos, quoting prices or committing us to scope or dates. Point them at us and we will take it from there.
- One company, one referral. If we are already talking to them, the referral is marked as an existing customer and pays nothing — which is why it is worth submitting early rather than sitting on a name.
- Your referrals, with their stage. New, initial call or meeting, qualified, proposal, negotiation, won, lost, on hold, or existing customer.
- Commission and dates. What each won referral pays, and when each payment is due.
- Search and filters. By status, product, date or whether a payment is still to come.
- Email when something moves. Status changes, commissions and payments, in your language.
- Your own record. A written history of each referral, so nothing rests on anyone's memory of a phone call.
The portal is private to you. Partners see their own referrals and nobody else's.
The things people ask first.
Does it cost anything?
No. Joining is free, there is no minimum number of referrals, and nothing is deducted from anything.
Do I have to be a reseller or a technical partner?
No. You need to know a business with a problem we can solve. No certification, no product knowledge, no sales role.
How long until I hear anything?
Applications are usually reviewed within a couple of business days. After that, a submitted referral is acknowledged straight away and you see each change of stage as it happens.
What if they are already talking to you?
The referral is marked as an existing customer and earns nothing — we will not pay twice for work already under way. You will see that on the referral rather than hearing nothing.
How much will I actually be paid?
It depends on the product and the size of the deal, and we agree it with you directly. Once a deal is won, your account shows the amount you are owed and the date each payment is due.
Can I stay involved with my client?
Yes, and we would usually rather you did. Tell us how you want the introduction handled and we will follow your lead.
What happens to my contact's information?
It is used to contact them about the referral and nothing else. We do not sell it, and we do not add anyone to a marketing list. See the privacy statement.
Can I leave?
Any time. Commission already earned on signed work is still paid.
Know someone who needs this?
Register in a minute. We review your application by hand and you will hear from us within a couple of business days.
