What You Can Earn
Trellist | Quals.ai engagements come in two forms: license-based, where clients pay monthly and generate repeatable revenue over the license period; or one-time project-based engagements. Either way, you earn 25% commission on the total sale value.
Example: a single $2,500/month engagement at 25% commission generates $625 in earnings. Six months of that referral adds up to $3,750; a full year reaches $7,500. We handle every demo, every close. You just make the connection.
Referral scenarios above are illustrative examples based on entry pricing. Actual earnings vary by engagement size, type, and duration. No ceiling on number of referrals.

Affiliate Program Guidelines
These guidelines are intended to ensure a smooth and successful experience for all partners.
- Referral-Based Program: This is a relationship-driven referral program. You introduce opportunities, and the Trellist team manages all demos, proposals, negotiations, and delivery.
- No Authority to Bind Trellist: Affiliates may not represent themselves as employees or agents of Trellist, nor make pricing, contractual, or other binding commitments on Trellist’s behalf.
- Accurate Representation: All communications about Trellist, Quals.ai, and related offerings should be truthful, professional, and consistent with materials provided or approved by Trellist.
- Disclosure Requirements: Affiliates must comply with applicable advertising and disclosure laws, including FTC guidelines on sponsored or affiliate content, when promoting Trellist or Quals.ai on social media or other public channels. Affiliates must clearly and conspicuously disclose their financial relationship with Trellist in any such communication.
- New Opportunities Only: Commissions apply to new opportunities that are not already in active discussion or engagement with Trellist at the time of introduction, and that are not independently sourced by Trellist or already an existing client relationship. An introduction becomes eligible for commission only once Trellist has reviewed and accepted it in writing or via CRM designation as a qualifying opportunity.
- Compensation Subject to Agreement: All commission eligibility, structure, and payment terms are governed by the formal Affiliate Partner Agreement and any applicable deal-specific terms. Commissions are earned only on revenue actually received by Trellist.
- Approval & Participation: Participation in the program is subject to review and approval. Trellist reserves the right to accept, decline, or remove participants at its discretion.
- Flexible Engagement: In some cases, introductions may evolve into broader engagements (including services or advisory work). Where applicable, Trellist will work with partners to define appropriate structure and compensation for those opportunities.
By applying, you acknowledge and agree to comply with these Program Guidelines, and you understand that participation in the program is subject to review, approval, and execution of a formal Affiliate Partner Agreement prior to activation.
By applying you confirm you've read the Affiliate Program Terms. Commission rates and terms are subject to your signed affiliate agreement.
