You will have the opportunity to build a business within BMIs business.
BMI already has an inventory of products and services an implementation team marketing resources technical capabilities accounting support and an established sales process. Your role is to concentrate on the market-facing work: developing relationships influencing prospective clients identifying genuine opportunities and moving those opportunities through the sales process.

Determine whether they are genuinely in the market for business software setup customization or implementation services.
Conduct initial Free Planning and Pricing Sessions using BMIs tools and guidance.

You would not be expected to build all the supporting infrastructure yourself. When a promising approach requires better marketing materials technical tools training resources administrative support or a more refined process BMIs internal teams can help bring those ideas to fruition.
Over time the objective is to create a more turnkey system so that youand eventually other affiliatescan focus primarily on relationships lead development presentations and conversion while BMI handles fulfillment and supporting administration.
For the right person the longer-term opportunity extends beyond personal commissions.
A foundational affiliate may eventually recruit and mentor additional independent affiliates. Each affiliate would have a direct agreement with BMI while BMI would track the team relationship for the purpose of paying applicable overrides.
The person who directly produces revenue should always receive the greatest share of the available commission. Team overrides would reward continuing mentorship and leadershipnot merely the historical act of recruiting someone.
The details of this model are still being developed. Foundational affiliates will have an unusual opportunity to contribute practical experience and help BMI determine what is fair effective and scalable.
