Welcome to Elevator Speech Training Referral Program. By participating in this program, you agree to comply with the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.

The Referral Program (“Program”) is designed to reward participants (“Referrers”) who refer new clients (“Referred Clients”) to Elevator Speech Training services.

3. How to Refer

  1. Referral Submission: To refer a new client, send an introduction email to marc@est.io, introducing yourself, Marc Fest, and the Referred Client.
  2. Duplicate Referrals: In the event that multiple Referrers refer the same client, the incentive will be awarded to the Referrer whose referral email was received first, based on the email timestamp.

4. Referral Incentives

  1. Incentive Options:
    • Option A: A donation in your name to your chosen non-profit.
    • Option B: A cash bonus via check, PayPal, or Venmo.
    • Option C: Two complimentary one-hour Elevator Speech Training sessions with Marc Fest.
    • Option D: A custom incentive co-created to suit your needs.

5. Incentive Distribution

  1. Notification: Marc Fest will confirm your chosen incentive and notify you when it has been distributed.
  2. Scheduling: If you choose the complimentary Elevator Speech Training sessions, arrangements will be made to schedule them.

6. Referral Validity

  1. Other Introductions: Referrers will not be eligible for a referral incentive if the contract with the new client occurs due to another introduction or interaction unrelated to the referral email submitted by the Referrer.

7. Tax Implications

  1. Tax Reporting: Cash bonuses and other monetary incentives may be considered taxable income. Referrers are responsible for any taxes associated with referral incentives. Please consult a tax professional for advice.

  2. Non-Profit Donations: Ensure that donations to non-profits do not create conflicts of interest, especially if the Referrer is associated with the non-profit.
  3. Internal Referrals: Referrals within the same organization will not be eligible for a referral incentive to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

10. Dispute Resolution

  1. Verification: All referrals will be verified for authenticity and intent.
