Curo has always taken pride in cultivating long-lasting relationships with expert Microsoft freelancers. You are part of our trusted community of consultants that are highly regarded both at Microsoft and throughout the UK freelance market. The initiative is exclusively for our trusted community and is by invitation only.

What is this Programme?

Becoming a Curo Partner means that you can recommend and introduce Curo into one or more new clients and earn a commission for each.

What can I earn?

You are paid a commission of 10% of Curo’s Gross Margin* achieved for each of these clients.

What does this commission apply to?

You earn commission on all of Curo’s Services:

  • Time and Materials contracts
  • Fixed Price Professional Services
  • Managed Services
  • Permanent Hiring Fees

How much time involvement is there for me?

When you recommend and introduce Curo, you have two choices:

  • Initial Recommendation and Introduction Only: This is the minimal involvement option, where any commission payments due will cease 12 months from the commencement date**
  • Providing ongoing support of Curo’s Business Development and Account Management: This is a more involved option, where your commission payments continue ongoing until the point at which you cease to be actively involved supporting Curo, or after 12 months from the commencement date, whichever is later.

What do I do next?

Please read the FAQ below, which aims to answer more detailed questions you may have, and then contact Mark Twining, Curo’s Partner Programme Manager (mark.twining@curoservices.com or 07935946705) either to discuss the Curo Partner Programme further, or to receive a copy of our Curo Partner Programme Agreement for review.

*Gross Margin is the difference between the amount Curo pays the service provider (e.g. a contractor) and charges the client, and excludes all Curo’s fixed costs.

**For each new client or referred opportunity, the Commencement Date will be from the date of acceptance and signing of a schedule documenting the referral.

FAQs

IF “ONGOING SUPPORT” IS AGREED BETWEEN US, WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME?

This means ongoing active involvement, which includes:

  • Actively supporting Curo’s business development and account management activities
  • Assisting Curo where appropriate to establish requirements
  • Assisting Curo to successfully deliver services in a supportive way
  • Making internal introductions and referrals for Curo where possible
  • Promoting Curo where possible
  • Interfacing with Curo’s Account Manager

IF I AM ALREADY WORKING INDEPENDENTLY OF CURO AT THE CLIENT I’VE REFERRED, DOES IT AFFECT MY OWN STATUS IN ANY WAY?

Nothing restricts you from dealing independently within their referred client(s).

WHAT ARE CURO’S RESPONSIBILITIES?

Curo’s Responsibilities are as follows:

  • Appointing an Account Manager who will be responsible for all interactions with you
  • Receiving, and acting on, all requests from you to service their referred clients
  • Advising you of all commission fees earned to be invoiced, and making prompt commission payments

WHAT HAPPENS IF I REFER CURO TO A CLIENT WHO IS ONE OF CURO’S EXISTING CLIENTS?

If you introduce a client to Curo who is (a) one of their current signed clients, or (b) a prospect that is actively advancing through Curo’s pipeline nearing signature then this client referral cannot be accepted unfortunately. For the benefit of doubt, all other clients will be accepted as a newly referred client, whether they be in Curo’s in-house client prospect CRM or not.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I REFER CURO TO AN OPPORTUNITY AT ONE OF THEIR EXISTING CLIENTS THAT CURO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT?

If you refer a potential client that is a current signed Curo client or a prospect that is actively advancing through Curo’s pipeline nearing signature, but Curo knows nothing about the referred opportunity at that client, then your commission will apply to this opportunity that Curo was unaware of, but not to the client as a whole.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CHOOSE THE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OPTION, BUT CURO FEELS I CAN’T ADD ANYTHING TO CURO’S EFFORTS TO DEVELOPMENT THE ACCOUNT?

In this unusual scenario, Curo reserves the right to insist on the one-year commission option.

IS CURO OBLIGED TO WORK ON EVERY ROLE I REFER?

No, sometimes Curo will assess the referral and decide not to work on the role because it is a less relevant role or technology.

HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT CURO’S SERVICES ARE SO THAT I CAN REFER?

Curo will provide education and support regarding their service offerings.
