Partnering with Global BI  
     
  At Global BI we have taken an interesting approach to partnering. We believe that the world is full of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). We would like to become partners with them to leverage their knowledge and skills. Global BI offers three forms of partnerships:  
     
  Selling for Global BI: At Global BI we want to have as many sellers are we can. Our motto is very simple – we make money when you make money. So, our “sales plan” is very very simple. You take home 10% of the gross revenue of the sale. It’s that simple.  
     
  Specific Terms & Conditions:  
 
    Revenue must be recognized before payment is made.
 
  Salesperson must have substantial ownership of the “deal” to be paid at this level (i.e. you find the opportunity, you position Global BI as the solution provider, and you own the relationship with the client).
    This is a commission-only plan.
 
     
  Writing for Global BI: At Global BI we believe that there is an abundance of knowledge that SMEs have to offer all over the globe. We also believe that there are great ideas out there but they have not yet been mobilized. We offer the portal where you can “sell” your ideas under a strong brand name.
 
     
  Specific Terms & Conditions:  
 
    Revenue will be split 50% between Global BI and the author.
    Clean Audit trails will be provided to the author to ensure proper payment.
    Articles must be submitted to Global BI for review. Once approved, they will be put on the site library.
 
     
  Doing projects with Global BI (for Individuals): At Global BI we believe that there are hundreds of SMEs that we would like to work with. Therefore, we are offering you a chance to make money. We typically offer 10-50% of gross revenue of the project to the individual that acts as the SME on the project. This is an excellent way for you to earn good money while helping Global BI.
 
     
  Specific Terms & Conditions:  
 
    Revenue must be recognized before you are paid.
    You must be active in the project (on-site).
 
  Commission is 10-50% of total revenue of the project depending on the type of project. This will be clearly negotiated up front.
