Step 1. Partner Referral Fees (PRF) are processed As part of Consulting Partner Program partners may be eligible to receive a referral fee when a referral lead is submitted through the Partner Community. The referral must meet the requirements described in the Consulting Program Policy Guide. The lead must be converted into a SFDC direct sale opportunity, which closes. Referral Fees will not be paid unless a Partner is in good standing at the time of SFDC’s payment processing.
