The Sales Affiliate may operate a full or part-time business
selling Gnosis based solutions. Backed by the resources of Connect4
- sales collateral, lead generation, and marketing resources,- a
near full-time Gnosis Sales Affiliate may realistically expect to
close about two new deals per week with relatively short sales
cycles.
Gnosis is designed to support Non-profit, Small Business and
Political/Advocacy markets. As a Sales Affiliate, you may elect to
work in one or more of these markets. Connect4 can augment your own
marketing by providing you with access to leads and direct marketing
support for your sales efforts and assist with technical support for
sales demonstrations and support for closing more complex sales.
The following resources are routinely made available to Sales
Affiliates.

Gnosis Sales commission is based on a percentage of the combined
value of initial implementation and initial consulting fees and a
lesser percentage of ongoing monthly subscription fees as specified
in a Gnosis Subscription Agreement between Connect4 and the
purchasing organization. Initial implementation and consulting
contracts generally range from $4,000 to $12,000 in value and on the
higher end of this range, can produce typical initial year
commissions as high as $3,900 per sale with additional residual
commissions continuing to be paid in subsequent years. You will find
specific commission rates specified in the affiliate rewards rate
card accompanying this document.
Depending on your comfort level with the sales process and the
level of support that you desire in identifying and closing sales,
you may also elect to forfeit a small percentage of your sales
commission in return for utilizing additional Connect4 resources in
the sales process.
A list of Connect4 sales support aids available as part of the
program and their cost in terms of commission forfeiture is provided
in the
Affiliate
Rewards Rate Card.
