Partner and Commission Guide
Pre-vetted, pre-negotiated vendors with commission agreements in place. Standard partnership rates run 12 to 20 percent, with 12 percent as our usual minimum engagement. Built on a trust-based system across our team.
Commissions are earned by producers based on the event production tier. All commission-eligible vendor spend generates a flat producer cut.
Standard internal production with no commission (0%) allocated to the producer.
20% flat commission paid directly to the producer from the total partner commission pot. The lead producer may choose to allocate their commissions to their team members as they see fit.
When reaching out to pre-negotiated partners in our network, follow this standard procedure to maintain consistent communication and accurate kickback logging:
- Email the partner contact: Provide comprehensive event details (Date, Guest count, Location, Event type, and Scope of needs).
- Mention your introduction source: State clearly that you found them through the Shift + Alt Preferred Partner Database.
- CC partnerships lead: Always CC Bayley McDaniel (bayley@shiftalt.events) on all correspondence as our sole partnerships lead.
- Log your kickback: Record the outreach on your Kickback Form, marking the vendor as database-sourced.
If there are no vendors that match your needs, contact Bayley for support finding a partner or find the partner you want to work with and include Bayley in discussions prior to signing.
