Referral Rewards Program
Effective Date: April 2026
Answering Specialists Inc. ("we," "us," or "Company") offers this Referral Rewards Program to thank our loyal clients and approved partners for referring new businesses to our live answering, virtual receptionist, and call-center services.
By participating in the program, referrers agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Reward Structure
Successful signup: $50 to referrer, paid within 30 days.
3-month retention: $25 to referrer, plus $25 credit applied to the new client's next invoice.
Maximum total per successful referral: $75 to the referrer + $25 credit to the new client.
Lite Plan Referrals
Because the Lite plan is a flat-rate $35/month entry tier, referrals tied to Lite signups use a reduced reward schedule: $15 signup, $10 retention + $10 client credit, and an additional $50 if the new client upgrades to Basic or higher within 6 months.
