Know someone who needs powerful storytelling through video and photography? Let’s work together and grow TRoT—one referral at a time.
TRoT Referral Program
Ends April 30, 2025
How It Works:
We’re all about building real relationships here at TRoT, so here’s the deal:
1. Qualifying Clients: The people or companies you refer should actually need our video, photography, or storytelling services. We love working with nonprofits, small businesses, and larger organizations making a positive impact, so keep that in mind!
2. Making an Introduction: To make sure it’s a solid referral, you’ll need to either make an official introduction (email intro, in-person, etc.) or have the company mention your name when they first reach out to us. It’s all about keeping things legit.
3. The Reward: Once your referral signs a contract and the initial payment is made, you’ll get a check (and a big fat thank you) from us. Simple as that. And yes, we are fans of quick and easy, so expect payment within 5 days of that happening.
Referral Tiers:
We like to reward those who help us grow, so here’s how our tiered referral system works:
If you refer a client who signs a $5,000 – $15,000 contract:
Referral Bonus: $500
If you refer a client who signs a $15,001 – $50,000 contract:
Referral Bonus: $1,000
If you refer a client who signs a $50,001 – $100,000 contract:
Referral Bonus: $2,000
If you refer a client who signs a $100,001+ contract:
Referral Bonus: $5,000
It’s simple: the bigger the project, the bigger your reward. No catches, just rewards for helping us connect with incredible clients!
