Answers to your questions about our partnering and referral programs
-
No — and that's intentional. Your reward is triggered when the person you referred completes a consultation with East Ocean Strategies, not when they make a purchase. They are never obligated to apply for anything. Your reward is simply our thank-you for making a warm introduction.
-
You will receive your reward within 14 calendar days after the consultation. Once we confirm the meeting occurred, we will reach out to collect your reward preference and delivery details. Please note that scheduling a consultation does not start the clock—the meeting must take place first.
-
Absolutely. You may submit up to eight (8) valid referrals per calendar year. Each referral must be submitted through the online form on this page — phone, email, or text submissions do not qualify. For complete eligibility details, download the Refer & Earn Program Overview above.
-
No monetary compensation is exchanged between businesses in this program. Our cross-referral relationships are entirely reciprocal and in-kind — meaning we send qualified clients your way, and you send qualified clients our way. The value is mutual growth and the trust your clients place in a network of vetted professionals working in their best interest.
-
It's straightforward and low-pressure. After you submit the inquiry form, we review your business — which is why an active website is required. If there appears to be a strong fit, we respond within 72 hours to schedule a brief virtual or in-person introductory meeting. That conversation lets both of us assess alignment before exchanging referrals. The entire process typically takes no more than one to two weeks.
-
Not identical — complementary. Our ideal partners serve clients who are building wealth, protecting assets, or managing business interests, even if the specific service differs from ours. If your clients also need comprehensive insurance coverage or affordable legal services, there's likely a natural overlap worth exploring. When in doubt, submit an inquiry and let's find out together.
