How it works
A simple path from a warm introduction to a confirmed reward.
Introduce KNO to a prospective client who could benefit from event services or the KNO platform.
We qualify the opportunity, build the proposal, handle contracting, and deliver the engagement.
Once the qualifying engagement is signed and the applicable client payment is received, your commission is processed.
Qualified new-to-KNO referrals only. KNO confirms eligibility before registering an opportunity.
Good to know

KNO reviews each introduction to confirm that the prospect is new and eligible before registering it.
