Partner Program Guide

Partner Onboarding Experience
Here's what you can expect as your organization joins the SharinPix program - so you're acquainted with the whole process and can verify what you should receive and what to expect next.
Once you express interest in our Partner Program, our Partner Advocate sends a sign-up request form to you or your suggested coworker to collect basic partner account information. No worries that this represents a legal commitment! It's an entry point to the program so we understand the right channels to assist you. Receiving any financial incentives does require signing an additional legal Partner Agreement.
You may have questions about the signup form fields. As every company is different, let us clarify:
VAT
Refers to a "value-added tax" number. We must have this on file for non-US partners that want to receive rewards and incentives by signing our Partner Agreement. Feel free to provide this information to our Partner Advocate at a later date.
Partner Manager
Person at your company managing supporting relationships with other businesses. They are responsible for working with our Partner Advocate regarding your company's ongoing involvement in the program and relaying communication to your team as necessary.
e.g. scheduling training, coordinating joint marketing efforts, etc.
Business Developer/Head of Delivery
Person at your company that coordinates project assignments to your consultants.
To receive financial rewards as a partner, be sure to include address information and, for non-US companies, your Value Added Tax (VAT) number.
Once your organization has completed and returned the form, our Partner Advocate sends you and your team a "Welcome to the SharinPix Partner Program!" email to highlight Rewards and Incentives, explain how to get started, and direct you to this Guide.
And you ended up here!
Our Partner Advocate provides a more official introduction and highlights the important aspects of this guide.
The next step is on you! It could be a marketing campaign, an initial training for your team, or submitting a potential customer.
Choose whichever option/s currently work best for your needs, and let's get started! We want to stay in touch so we can share our success!
Program Participation
Requirements
Requirements to remain in the program are merely that we stay aware of your current direction either by planning a joint marketing campaign, scheduling training, or having a prospective client in the sales process.
If we don't hear from you, you may receive additional emails inquiring about your interest and timeline for your next steps. After 90 days without engagement, we archive your sign-up for the program.
We keep your participation in our program on file; you retain credit for implementations you've done. But if your engagement lapses- your participation is archived and you are no longer considered "active".
Marketing/Co-branding Campaigns
- Work with our Marketing Director to publish a blog on your site or plan a social media campaign
- Schedule a "Lunch & Learn" introductory session for your local community group by contacting the Partner Advocate

Customer Onboarding Experience
Both you and your client will be more confident if you know what to expect, so here are the steps of our Onboarding Process, beginning when they sign our quote:
Once a quote is signed, our Administrative Assistant emails a registration form to the person we have worked with most closely during the sales process.
The Registration Form includes an entries for Implementation Consultant, so make sure they know that's you! You may also be listed as the Technical Contact.
This way we can contact the appropriate person in the different situations we may encounter.
Once the Registration form is returned, we send the "Welcome to SharinPix" to the same Contact used for the "SharinPix Registration" email AND to the Implementation Contact, so as long as your client lists you on the Registration, you will also receive a copy.
The email includes instructions to access documentation and support and asks the customer to schedule their onboarding meeting.
You and your client meet with our Customer Success team to plan your implementation and to introduce the resources we provide. Be sure to mention if you'd like a recording of the meeting!
Additional Licensing
As your clients adopt SharinPix, there may well come a time when they will need additional licenses to expand their use of the app.
SharinPix plans to offer self-service license purchasing in the coming year, but for the moment the SharinPix Buyer on the customer's Account may request additional licenses by emailing [email protected].
If you are unsure who the SharinPix Buyer for your client's account is, contact the Partner Advocate.
Implementation Process
Throughout your client's project you'll continue a conversation with our Customer Success team about its progress using the resources described in this guide.
We also schedule a project review meeting to review the completed solution and get a feel for the customer's feeling about the process.
Feature Requests
During your implementation, you may discover that your solution would shine brighter if SharinPix had this one, little extra aspect.
To submit a feature request, create a Support Ticket , adding "Feature Request" to the beginning of the Subject when emailing Support directly. We make an effort to notify those interested in a particular feature when it is released.
Project Review
You and your client meet with the Customer Success team to review the project. We add aspects of your implementation to our records so that we can credit you for delivering a successful solution.
As you have more experience with implementing SharinPix, we can direct potential clients your way based on their use case, so this step is important!
The project is complete! Let's all go out for pizza and celebrate! 🎉
Agreements
Participation in the SharinPix Partner Program is voluntary, but occasionally the nature of the work requires additional agreements.
SharinPix is currently drafting our Partner Referral Agreement, required for Partners to receive the Referral Fee incentive.
Rewards and Incentives
SharinPix will donate $100 to your chosen nonprofit* on behalf of the first 10 partners to schedule a SharinPix "Lunch & Learn" or training webinar for their team.
*choose from our internationally-recognized, highly-rated, and diverse approved list of nonprofits
Participate by submitting our Lunch & Learn Referral form, and our Partner Advocate will contact your training coordinator about scheduling.
Referrals
SharinPix offers a 10% return for qualifying partner referrals totaling $20K or more in a calendar year after any discounts applied.
Current Requirements:
- There is no existing contract between SharinPix and the referred client
- Partner has signed the Partner Referral Agreement
- A formal Referral Request has been agreed between SharinPix and the Partner
- Referred client has signed a license contract with SharinPix within 200 days of the Partner referring the client through the Referral Request Form.

* The Partner Referral Agreement is currently being reviewed and finalized. Partners who have completed Sign-Up will be notified when it becomes available.
