FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if my referral has engaged your services?

We maintain open communication throughout. You’ll be promptly informed when your referral engages our services, and commissions are typically paid a few weeks after the successful engagement.

Are there any restrictions on referrals?

No restrictions and no cap on the number of referrals you can send. We welcome referrals from all industries. We appreciate the diversity of our network.

What kind of clients should I refer?

Any company or startup that needs software development — building new products, scaling engineering teams, modernizing legacy systems, or creating digital platforms. If they need developers, they’re a fit.

Do I need to be technical to be a partner?

Not at all. You don’t need to sell or pitch anything technical. Simply make an introduction when the topic of software development comes up. Apoddo’s team handles everything from there.

How do you protect the privacy of my referrals?

We take data privacy seriously. All information is handled with the utmost care and in compliance with data protection regulations, as specified in the partnership contract.

What materials will I receive?

After onboarding, you’ll get case studies, company one-pagers, pitch decks, and key talking points. Everything you need to confidently introduce Apoddo when the opportunity arises.

How and when do I get paid?

Commissions are paid via wire transfer or invoice — whichever you prefer. Payments are processed shortly after the client pays each milestone or monthly invoice. You’ll have full visibility into project billing.

What if the client doesn't convert?

No worries at all. There’s zero cost or obligation on your end. If a referral doesn’t move forward, nothing changes — you simply keep referring when new opportunities arise.

Can I refer someone I already know at a company?

Absolutely. In fact, warm introductions from existing relationships are the most effective referrals. If you know someone at a company that needs software development, that’s a perfect fit.

Is there a minimum project size?

There’s no strict minimum, but Apoddo typically works on projects starting around $50K+. Smaller engagements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

What happens if the project grows or extends?

Your 7% commission applies to the entire lifetime of the engagement — including extensions, new phases, and additional work. If a 3-month project turns into an 18-month engagement, you earn on all of it.
