Exclusive for Christians in Business Owners

Build More Than Your Own Directory

Help others start their own business directory and earn 50% recurring commissions.

When you own a Business Directory through Christians in Business, you don't have to stop with the income generated by your own directory.

You can also introduce other entrepreneurs, organizations, and community leaders to the opportunity to own their own Business Directory.

They purchase an eligible
$997 Annual Directory
You can earn
$498.50 Commission

And if their directory renews annually and remains eligible, your commission can recur each year according to the Referral Partner Program terms.

You must own an active Christians in Business directory before you can participate in the Referral Partner Program.

How it works

A Simple Referral Program

1

Own a Directory

You must first become an active Christians in Business Owner.

  • Build and operate your own directory.
  • Experience the platform.
  • Learn the business model.
2

Refer Another Owner

Know someone who could build a City, Community, Professional, Industry, Tourism, Restaurant, Construction, Real Estate, School, Nonprofit, Association — or another niche directory?

Introduce them to Christians in Business using your Referral Partner link.

3

Earn 50%

When your personally referred prospect purchases an eligible $997 annual Business Directory:

You earn $498.50

If the referred directory renews the following year and remains eligible, you can earn another $498.50 — and again with future eligible annual renewals according to current program terms.

One referral can create recurring annual commission.

Why owners

You're Not Selling Something You've Never Used.

The strongest person to introduce someone to Business Directory ownership is someone who already owns one. As a Directory Owner, you can speak from experience.

Recurring example

Build A Base Of Recurring Referral Income
