The Cloud 9 Difference: Monetizing Your Expertise
Referral Partner
This is the simplest way to leverage your network for passive income. You make a formal introduction to the Cloud 9 team, and we handle the entire client relationship, sales process, and support.
Best for: Individuals or organizations who want to earn extra income with minimal time investment.
Compensation: You receive a one-time referral fee for any client that signs on.
Reseller/VAR Partner
This pathway is designed for established consultants or Value-Added Resellers (VARs) who want to expand their service portfolio without taking on new operational burdens. You work side-by-side with our team, offering your specialized services (like integration, installation, or support) while Cloud 9 handles the complex technology sourcing and procurement process.
Best for: Established individuals or businesses looking to diversify their income and offer a wider range of solutions to existing clients.
Compensation: You receive both one-time bonuses and monthly recurring revenue (MRR) for the life of the customer.
Independent Adviser
The Independent Adviser (IA) role is our highest-value, high-commission partnership, designed for entrepreneurial individuals ready to own and scale their own book of business.
Is the IA Partnership Right for You?
We are a perfect fit for professionals with deep technical or advisory experience who:
Are an IT Expert: Your professional network and friends already rely on your expert advice. Now, you can be properly compensated for that expertise.
Need More Freedom: You are tired of the artificially imposed restrictions on the solutions you’re allowed to offer, chasing quota, and management constantly moving the goalpost.
Seek High-Leverage Income: You are looking for a highly profitable side-gig to augment your current offerings, or you are ready to transition into full-time independent consulting.
Want to be Master of their Domain: You seek to run your own business (1099), own your client data, and set your own schedule, without the massive overhead of building a brand and back office from scratch.
Prioritize Client Advocacy: You believe in delivering vendor-neutral advice and eliminating "buyer's remorse" for clients.
Demand High Compensation: You expect to earn the highest possible commission splits in the industry, starting at a minimum of 70% of gross revenue.
