You just made a smart move, not just for yourself but for your referral partner and the businesses or partner they have or will connect you with.

A referral partner is different from a launch team member.

They are not actively building the network, but the introduction they made could lead to long-term earnings for them while helping you grow your LocalVIP network.

For them, the highest ROI in five minutes of their entire life might be giving you this referral.

If the business or launch team member they referred does well, they could receive passive earnings indefinitely without having to do anything more.

Your referral partner may have more connections who would be a great fit. Now that they understand how this works, ask if they know one or two more businesses or marketing professionals who could benefit.

Do they know a local business that wants more customers?

Do they know a credit card merchant sales rep or a digital agency owner that wants a foot in the door strategy?

Over time, they may see the bigger opportunity and want to be more involved. Keep the conversation open about whether upgrading to a Launch Team Partner makes sense for them.
