What qualifies an individual or business to be a Daon Referral Partner?
Referral Partners include independent consultants, industry specialists, adjacent technology vendors, and professional services firms who regularly engage with organizations facing identity, fraud, or digital transformation challenges. If you have established relationships with potential buyers and can introduce qualified prospects to Daon, you’re an ideal Referral Partner.

-
What is the referral compensation structure?
Referral compensation is based on a percentage of license value or a fixed finder’s fee, with specific terms outlined in your referral agreement. Higher deal volumes or accelerated sales cycles may qualify for enhanced rates.
-
Do Referral Partners need to be technical or provide services?
No. Your role is to identify opportunities and make introductions. Daon handles sales, implementation, and support. Technical knowledge helps but isn’t required, and we provide optional enablement training for partners who want deeper product familiarity.
-
Are there exclusivity or conflict restrictions?
Yes. Accepted referrals are exclusive: prospects cannot be referred to competing vendors, and Daon protects the referral from other partners. After acceptance, Daon coordinates outreach to ensure efficient prospect engagement.
-
What is the eligibility or qualification threshold of referrals?
Daon evaluates referrals based on industry fit, opportunity size, budget, timeline, and decision-maker access. Referrals without budget authority, decision-making access, or relevant use cases may be declined or require additional qualification.
-
Can a Referral Partner evolve into a Revenue Partner?
Yes. Referral Partners can evolve into Revenue Partners when they want to resell or embed Daon technology instead of earning referral fees. This transition is most common with companies that have complementary solutions or established customer bases in relevant verticals.
