What are partner commissions?
They are the amount owed to the referrer when a referred lead reaches the agreed outcome (usually conversion). Good partner commissions have an explicit rule, a traceable calculation, and a payment status visible to both sides.
Which rule models are common (fixed, percentage, by tier)?
A fixed amount per conversion, a percentage of the closed value, and rules by partner tier or level. The receiving company chooses the model in Nexo and applies it consistently - the key is that the rule is clear before the referral is sent.
When is commission generated in the funnel?
When the lead reaches the outcome that triggers the rule - typically conversion recorded by the receiving company. From there the system calculates and records what is owed, with history for audit and follow-up.
How does the referrer track what is receivable?
Through the partner portal, with a view of pending, paid, or in-progress amounts - including when referring to more than one company. That transparency reduces manual chasing and increases willingness to keep referring.
How does the company control what is payable without a spreadsheet?
By centralizing payable commissions with history, status, and a link to the source referral. Finance and sales see the same number; closing no longer depends on fragile exports and chat agreements.
Can commission become co-marketing budget?
Yes. In Nexo, commission can convert into co-marketing budget for joint network actions - workshops, events, and materials - with checklists and follow-up. The partner incentive also becomes channel growth.
