Most commonly used details include (name, company name, phone, email, company logo, and profile image). These details can be updated by editing your profile. |
Referred Accounts
When a client successfully uses your referral link to sign up for a trial with Method, they'll appear in this list. Clicking a particular row will display the invoice history for that account (up to 2 years in the past).
Leads / Prospects
Your Referral Link is used by your clients to sign up for a free trial of Method. If the customer converts their trial into a paid subscription, it will count towards your commissions.
Note: Copy your referral link and share it via email, your website, or social media to get more leads. |
It is important to protect your efforts by registering your prospects and potential Method referrals.
