To help foster the emerging marketplace for a strategic and systematic approach to engagement across the enterprise, the Enterprise Engagement Alliance has launched a referral program offering significant earnings for those who refer companies seeking concrete solutions related to almost any engagement challenge addressed by the Enterprise Engagement Alliance’s four main services and potentially to those of its preferred solution providers or others.

The EEA can help almost any size organization, government or non-government organization achieve strategic and tactical goals by engaging key stakeholders using the latest design and measurement processes, keeping your teams informed with the latest trends, solutions, and research, and helping solution providers enhance their business development outcomes.

Services for EEA preferred solution providers include strategic stakeholder engagement design, measurement, implementation, and corporate sustainability reporting or business development services or any tactical element of engagement including assessment and feedback, communication, technology, rewards and recognition, meetings and incentives, DEI (diversity, equity, reporting), analytics, public speaking and more.

To manage the referral program, the EEA is using the Fasteezy referral widget of one of its preferred solution providers, Incentco.

According to Bruce Bolger, Founder of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance, “as more organizations seek to align and integrate their various engagement tactics across stakeholders, and pursue more return-on- investment analysis, many will wish to take a fresh approach to the types of solutions they are using to achieve which goals. This referral platform is designed to help give organizations and professionals the impetus to add value with new solutions."

The program is available to any company or independent advisors, representatives, or other independent professionals. While the referral fee is not available for professionals seeking services for their own organizations, they may apply the offer as a discount for their own EEA program or use the gift card or experience as an incentive or gift for one of the organization's stakeholders.

The Referral Offer

To kick off the program, the Enterprise Engagement Alliance is offering a 7.5% referral fee on its own services, which range from a $425 annual membership to business development and corporate sustainability services exceeding $50,000 a year. The company referred receives a matching 7.5% discount the first year, and 5% for two additional years.

The referral fee calculation applies to the gross revenue of any sale minus a credit card fee if applicable. In addition, the individual and client receives 5% of the revenue for the two following years unless barred by his or her organization’s policies. In this case, a donation is offered to the charity of the company's choice using EEA preferred solution provider, CharityChoice. The recurring referral fees can total in the hundreds to thousands of dollars a year, and be in the form of cash, a wide choice of popular retail gift cards or a merchandise gift or travel experience curated specifically for you or the recipient.

For individuals making a referral within their own organization, the organization will receive the referral fee plus the matching company discount to be applied as a discount, or as a gift card or curated merchandise and travel award, meaning that a personal planner will assist in award planning.

The referral payment is made within 10 business days of receipt of payment from the company and is good for three years unless the referrer is barred for any reason by his or her company for accepting it.

Other conditions. Referral fees are guaranteed from six months of receipt of the referral by the EEA; thereafter, they will be paid at the discretion of the EEA based on the current situation.

Reward options. Recipients have the choice of a cash payment; a gift card to a retailer of their choice of the same face value; or a customized experience curated by travel experts provided by Shortescapes.net in the form of an evening out to a trip, or a specially selected merchandise gift, based on the dollar equivalent of the finder's fee. If the individual does not like the proposed curated gift, he or she may opt for the cash for gift card offer.

Other engagement solutions. In addition, people who know of a company with a specific need in any area of engagement can contact the Enterprise Engagement Alliance for assistance finding the best possible solution at no cost and those with a referral fee if available. (See below for contact information.) The EEA is not responsible for finders fee arrangements except for its own products and services.

How the EEA Creates Value

Stakeholder management advisory, meeting facilitation and speaking, and corporate sustainability reporting services, ranging from $2,500 to $50,000 and up help organizations grasp the basic framework, economics, implementation framework, and auditable corporate sustainability reporting, along with a confidential gap analysis to begin their journeys.

3. Targeted business development through branding and content marketing for solution providers. The EEA offers a compelling combination of respected business media leadership in enterprise engagement and total rewards along with a complete content marketing service enabling organizations to cost effectively crystallize their value propositions, and to measurably identify and build relationships and credibility with the people most likely to buy.
