The IBT Alliance is for professionals whose clients need a competitive edge. Introduce IBT certification to your network and earn commission on every business that certifies — pass or fail.
Answer a few questions about your audience. We'll calculate your exact starting commission rate and show projected year-one earnings based on realistic conversion rates for warm, high-trust audiences.
The information you provide becomes your application. We'll reach out within 72 hours as your Alliance coordinator.

Based on your inputs, the expected referral volume is too low to structure a meaningful commission arrangement for either party. That doesn't mean we can't work together in other ways.

Share the certification with businesses in your network or program. We provide everything you need — talking points, materials, and your referral link.
Businesses apply through the IBT platform. The process is self-serve and takes minutes. Your referral is tracked automatically from first click.
Your commission is paid on the certification fee, not on whether the business passes or fails. No conditions. No asterisks.
Your starting rate is determined by the calculator above. Tier upgrades happen automatically as you hit referral milestones.
Earn your agreed rate on every business that certifies through your referral — paid on the certification fee regardless of audit outcome.
Once you bring in your first paid referral, your business gets certified at no cost — and you still receive the commission for that referral. You're not paying to join. You're getting paid to be recognized.
Receive access to a professional-grade CRM and marketing automation platform — the same tools IBT uses internally. Includes contact management, email sequences, pipeline tracking, and more.
Allies gain introductions to IBT's network of media, marketing, and technology partners — resources you can apply to your own business or extend to your clients.
Being an ally isn't just a referral link. IBT works directly with you to design how certification fits into your existing client relationships, workflows, and offerings — so it feels native, not bolted on.
Every approved ally receives a dedicated onboarding session with Shawn, IBT's founder. We map out your client base, identify the highest-fit businesses in your network, and build a practical introduction sequence you can execute immediately.
We learn your audience, your services, and how you talk about trust with clients. This shapes everything that follows.
We map IBT certification to specific moments in your client journey — proposals, onboarding, quarterly reviews — so the introduction happens naturally.
You receive talking points, email templates, and a tracked referral link. We handle the close — you make the introduction.
As you hit milestones and your rate increases, we revisit the strategy together. Your success is directly tied to ours.
