Referral & Deals Management for Administrators

Introduction

Overview

Within the Sell module, Referral Deals management bridges partner lead generation and vendor sales execution. Referral partners submit qualified prospects to the vendor brand, providing opportunity details, expected deal amounts, and projected closing timelines. Administrators configure the underlying selling workflows and review inbound submissions to prevent channel conflict, validate partner eligibility, and maintain clear governance across the partner ecosystem.

Once submitted, referral deals flow through approval queues where administrators can accept, reject, or request adjustments. Accepted deals remain visible with their current approval statuses, partner association types, and financial values, establishing an auditable pipeline. Upon deal closure, validated referral revenue feeds directly into the Incentivize module to trigger accurate partner commissions and payouts.
