Frequently asked questions
What information starts a referral review?
Submit the company, contact and buying context so partner operations can check ownership and eligibility.
Who uses this page?
Referral partner consultants and vendor partner operations.
What if the vendor already has the company in its pipeline?
The ownership rules govern the review; submission alone does not promise referral credit.
Who sets the customer price?
The vendor sets the price; the partner does not quote, discount or promise a price under these rules.
What should be reviewed before using it?
List the company, contact and buying context needed for review. Confirm how accepted referrals, vendor pipeline and conflicts are handled.
Who can see the page and its embedded views?
Partner-facing rules; another partner's referral and vendor pipeline details remain internal.
