How it works
Perceptif uses PartnerStack to manage billing and referrals and the Community Page to manage our certification process.
Experts are grouped as either Partners/Agencies or Experts:
-
Perceptif Experts — Freelancers and Solopreneurs with extensive experience designing & building professional apps, recommended by Perceptif.
-
Perceptif Partners & Digital Agencies — Full-Service Digital Agencies or Re-sell Partners with experience designing & building professional apps and app suites, recommended by Perceptif
Once you become certified, you will receive a link with your PartnerStack Partner Key. Every customer that signs up using your link will be assigned a Customer Key, and that Customer Key will be linked to your Partner Key. These keys are how we keep track of you, your clients, and your revenue share.

-

Revenue Sharing
Revenue is calculated from your client’s account. Your clients must sign up for Perceptif using your PartnerStack link. This will tie their Perceptif account to your PartnerStack account. We’ll send you all this information on how to get set up once you become certified.
(Revenue share is calculated differently for Pro, Team or Starter Licences and Enterprise accounts. More on that below.)
Perceptif Subscriptions
Once you are approved within Partnerstack, you can create a link to share with your clients. This link includes your Partner ID and a link to the /clients page. Again, we’ll show you how to do this once you’re certified.
Be sure to have your clients sign up for Perceptif using that link. This will ensure that you are tied to their account so that you get a percentage of all the revenue for their first team (e.g. their "My Team" folder, or whichever name they choose when they create their account).
Note: If a client chooses Private Pro, the pricing scales with the number of users. So the more users a client has, the more you get paid!
Billing
Most Process Experts have their clients sign up for Perceptif, add their billing and then have their clients add them to the Team. Some clients might not care what Perceptif is, but they know that they own the process app/template, and this is where the billing is handled. Also, this makes billing much easier as you don't have to handle all of the client's subscriptions.
Enterprise
Perceptif offers the ability to submit Enterprise leads. The Enterprise plan is a co-sell motion where a Perceptif representative will work on an account with you to close a deal with an Enterprise customer. You will receive a percentage of the annual contract value (ACV) for the Enterprise deal. You can charge for services separately on top of the contract value, or we can bake the services into the deal.
The Enterprise Plan is bespoke in nature and offers a close relationship with the customer and Perceptif. With Priority Support access, a custom contract, and a number of other benefits, this plan is not able to be sold on its own.
How do I submit an Enterprise Lead?
-
Make sure they meet the criteria.
-
Submit a referral on Partnerstack.
-
Perceptif reviews leads daily and will reach out within 48 hours for all qualified leads.
What's a qualified lead?
Perceptif uses the BANT framework.
-
Budget: The client can pay a minimum of $6k.
-
Authority: Your stakeholder has the authority to purchase the subscription.
-
Need: Your client actually needs something in the Enterprise Plan.
-
Timeline: Customer wants to purchase within the next 2-3 months.
Some examples of a Need:
-
Many users across many apps
-
Custom terms of service
-
Security reviews
-
Priority Support
How do I get paid?
PartnerStack handles all of the payment transactions. PartnerStack calculates all of the revenue owed to each Partner at the end of each month, Perceptif then wires that money to PartnerStack, and PartnerStack distributes the funds accordingly via PayPal or Stripe.
Payments are calculated based on the revenue from your client’s Perceptif Team. We are not able to do revenue share based on apps that are in your own Team at this time.
Payments are verified and paid out the month after your commission is earned. For example, any commissions earned in February will be available on March 16th.
You find details on PartnerStack’s support page.
Using your PartnerStack link
As mentioned, once you are certified, you will be able to create a link to share with your clients.
Once your profile is up on the /experts page, there is a hidden page for all Experts, where they can direct their clients to sign up.
Simply add /clients to the end of your Expert profile URL and they will see your signup link. For example perceptif.ai/experts/an-expert/clients
For example, if John Smith’s Expert Profile URL was perceptif.ai/experts/john-smith, his signup link would be perceptif.ai/experts/john-smith/clients
We recommend sending your clients here because it creates a tailored experience and will automatically attach all of the relevant PartnerStack information.
