Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a company to become a partner?+
No. Independent consultants (sole proprietorship, LLC, umbrella company) can join at Registered level. Only a legal identifier is required for commission payments.
Do I resell or bill Workload to my client?+
No. Workload bills the end customer directly on SaaS subscription. You receive referral commission on generated revenue — you bill your advisory mission separately.
How long until I get a demo sandbox?+
After Registered onboarding (2 h), sandbox access is activated within 48 hours with a pre-filled environment (portfolio, teams, allocations, reports).
Can I use Workload on multiple clients in parallel?+
Yes. Each signed client is a separate organization. You keep a master sandbox for demos and deploy one org per active engagement.
What's the difference Registered vs Certified for an independent?+
Registered: 15% commission, sandbox, commercial kit. Certified (≥ 2 deals/year): 20% recurring, co-marketing, mission playbooks, RFP support on qualified opportunities.
Does Workload replace my consulting expertise?+
No — it amplifies it. You bring methodology, CIO facilitation, and arbitration; Workload provides the capacity + portfolio tool your clients lack in Jira or Excel.
Can I republish Workload content on LinkedIn?+
Yes. Registered partners receive adaptable content (benchmark, carousels, stats). Certified partners can co-brand audit grids and one-pagers.
How do I register a referred deal?+
Contact partners@simpleworkload.com with client name, CIO contact, and opportunity stage — ideally before the first demo to lock in commission.
