Referral Program

Introduce a team to Specify and earn a monthly commission on everything they spend or earn during their first 12 months. This page is the program reference: the rates, the qualification rules, and how payment works. For the pitch, who to refer, and a commission calculator, see specify.sh/referrals .

The signed referral agreement governs the program. Where this page and the agreement differ, the agreement wins.

The deal

One agreement covers both kinds of referral, and there is no limit on how many you make. Commission is calculated on net revenue as defined in the referral agreement.

Advertiser bonus: advertisers you refer get $250 off their test campaign.

Joining

Message @rossneilson  on Telegram, or email contact@specify.sh, and we send you the agreement to review and sign. Anyone can join: there are no company-size, industry, or location requirements, and you don’t need to run a business or hold a Specify account. To talk it through first, book a call .

Making a referral

We approve each referral, so ask us before you make the intro and we’ll tell you whether the contact is open. Then:

1. Introduce your contact: add us to a Telegram group with @rossneilson , @mprasanjith, and @whatt4, send a group email to contact@specify.sh, or set up a call .
2. We review it: we evaluate the referral and notify you and your contact whether it’s accepted.
3. The clock starts: the 12 months begin at their first campaign for an advertiser, or their first ad served for a publisher.

Qualification rules

• First introduction wins: if several people know the same contact, credit goes to the first introduction. You have 30 days from our attribution decision to contest it.
• Six-month window: the team you introduce must sign with Specify within 6 months of the introduction; after that, it lapses.
• 30 days of activity: commission qualifies once the referred team has been live for 30 days, meaning an active campaign for an advertiser or ads serving for a publisher.
• Out of scope: contacts already in our sales pipeline, existing clients, and teams that previously approached us and declined.
• No self-referrals: you can’t refer a company you work for, and you must tell us about any financial interest in a team you refer.

Getting paid

Commission accrues monthly and settles by the quarter:

1. The quarter closes and we send your statement within 14 business days.
2. We issue the payment slip with the statement; there is no invoice to raise on your side.
3. We pay within 30 business days, by bank transfer or an Ethereum-based crypto wallet.

Balances under $100 roll into the next quarter. You’re paid gross and handle your own taxes.

Tracking your referrals

We keep you updated on referral status and earnings through the channel you referred in. A self-service dashboard is planned.
