Reseller referral
We have heard that the best way for resellers to learn about the value of the RSPA is by talking with other active resellers. To help incent our reseller members to share their experiences, we are pleased to announce our
NEW Reseller Referral Program
. For each non-member reseller referred by a current reseller member that converts to a member, RSPA will give a $50 dues credit to the referring reseller member.
For example, if a reseller member were to provide two leads to RSPA that RSPA converts into active members, the reseller member who made the two referrals would receive a $100 credit toward his or her membership dues at renewal. Have a referral to share? Please contact Membership@GoRSPA.org.
