Compensation Details
We try to make the compensation process extremely simple for our referral partners. As each referral you make becomes a Forge client, you’ll receive 20% of the profits earned from their account for up to 1 year.
How long do clients work with Forge?
Depending on the services and client needs, the average client works with Forge consistently for 6 months - 2 years.
How much compensation can I expect?
On average, profits per client can range between $750 and $3,000 per month depending on the services. At 20% of the profits, you can expect to receive $150 - $600 per month from EACH successful referral you provide.
When do I get paid?
For successful referrals, you’ll get paid immediately upon receipt of their payment to Forge. Clients are typically billed monthly for consistent services and as needed for ad hoc services.
How do I get paid?
After signing the Referral Partner Agreement, we’ll get you set up in our payroll system, so you can receive payments via direct deposit.
How does the 1 year limitation work?
When your referral becomes a Forge client, you receive 20% of all profits earned from that account for up to 1 year. For example, if a successful referral works with Forge for 6 months with average profits being $1,500 per month, you would receive $300 for 6 months.
If the client works with Forge for 2 years with the same profits, you would receive $300 for 12 months. The 1-year clock starts when you receive your first payment from the account you refer.
