Know a franchise that needs its data in order?
Send them our way.
When you refer a new franchise system to Fran Metrics, we'll pay you 20% of their first-year revenue. No cap, no limit on referrals — just our way of saying thanks for spreading the word.
This one's easy: you introduce us, they sign, and you get paid every month for a year.
Three steps from intro to income
No paperwork marathon. Tell us who to talk to, and we take it from there.
Introduce a system
Submit the franchise brand and a contact below — or make a warm email intro. We'll confirm within two business days that they're eligible (a brand we haven't already been in contact with).
We do the heavy lifting
Our team runs the demo, handles onboarding, and gets their data flowing. You're credited as the referring partner the moment we confirm eligibility.
You get paid — monthly
Once they're a paying client, you earn 20% of what they pay us, paid out each month for their first 12 months. Refer more, earn more. There's no ceiling.
What 20% actually looks like
Here's a real-world example for a mid-sized franchise system on Fran Metrics.
- Refer three systems like this in a year and that's over $14,400 — for introductions you were happy to make.
- Everything counts. Your 20% applies to subscription, paid add-ons, and the onboarding fee — the full first-year value.
- Bigger systems pay more. The larger the network you refer, the larger your 20%.
- It's monthly, not someday. You see a check every month the client is active in year one.
Example is illustrative. Actual payout equals 20% of the total revenue — subscription, add-ons, and onboarding — the referred client actually pays Fran Metrics during their first 12 months.
Anyone with a franchise contact worth introducing
You don't have to be a Fran Metrics client to earn. If you know a franchise system that would benefit from real-time data, you qualify.

Industry friends & vendors
Suppliers, agencies, and anyone in the franchise world with the right connection. One good intro is all it takes.
What makes a referral count
The one firm rule: it has to be a fresh introduction — a franchise system we haven't already been in contact with.
Qualifies for a payout
- A franchise brand Fran Metrics has not previously communicated with or had in our sales pipeline.
- A new system that signs and becomes a paying client within 12 months of your referral.
- You're the first partner to submit that brand (credit goes to the first valid referral).
- You provide a real contact and, ideally, a warm introduction.
Doesn't qualify
- A brand already in conversation with us, a current client, or one already in our pipeline.
- Self-referrals, or referring your own company / a brand you operate.
- Fran Metrics employees and contractors.
- Referrals submitted after a brand has already reached out to us on their own.

Frequently asked
How much can I earn?
20% of the total revenue your referred client pays Fran Metrics during their first 12 months — including the subscription, any paid add-ons, and the one-time onboarding fee. There's no cap on the amount and no limit on how many systems you can refer.
When and how do I get paid?
Payouts are monthly, on revenue we've actually collected — so you earn alongside us as the client pays each month through their first year. Your 20% share of the onboarding fee is included in your first payout once that fee is collected. We'll set up direct payment (ACH or PayPal) and collect a W-9 for U.S. partners so we can report payouts correctly.
What counts as "a system we haven't communicated with"?
The referral must be a franchise brand that isn't already a client and isn't already in conversation with us or in our sales pipeline. When you submit, we check our records and confirm eligibility within two business days. If we're already talking to them, we'll let you know — no hard feelings.
What if two people refer the same brand?
Credit goes to the first valid, eligible referral we receive. That's why it pays to submit promptly.
How long does the referred system have to sign?
Your referral stays credited to you for 12 months from the date we confirm eligibility. If they become a paying client in that window, your payout kicks in.
What happens if the client cancels?
Because payouts are tied to revenue collected each month, payments continue as long as the client is active during their first year and stop if they cancel. You keep everything already earned.
Do I have to be a Fran Metrics client to refer?
Nope. Clients, consultants, and industry contacts are all welcome. The only people who can't participate are Fran Metrics employees and contractors.
Got someone in mind?
It takes two minutes to submit, and the payout lasts a full year. Make the intro — we'll take it from there.
Refer a franchise systemProgram Terms
The Fran Metrics Partner Referral Program ("Program") is offered by Fran Metrics. By submitting a referral you agree to these terms, which Fran Metrics may update from time to time.
Eligible referrals
A referral qualifies only if the referred franchise system is new to Fran Metrics — not a current client and not a brand Fran Metrics has previously communicated with or had in its sales pipeline. Fran Metrics verifies eligibility against its records, and its determination is final. Where multiple partners refer the same brand, credit is assigned to the first valid referral received.
Referral fee
For each eligible referral that becomes a paying Fran Metrics client, the referring partner earns 20% of the total net revenue actually collected from that client during the client's first twelve (12) months — including subscription fees, paid add-ons, and the one-time onboarding fee. There is no cap on the fee per referral and no limit on the number of referrals a partner may submit.
Payment
Referral fees are calculated and paid monthly, in arrears, based on revenue collected in the prior month, with the partner's 20% share of the onboarding fee included in the first payout after that fee is collected. Fees are paid only on amounts actually received by Fran Metrics; amounts that are refunded, disputed, or uncollected are excluded. Payments begin after the client's free trial converts to paid billing. The referral fee applies to subscription fees, paid add-ons, and the one-time onboarding fee, and excludes taxes. Partners must provide valid payment details and a completed W-9 (U.S.) before any payout; partners are responsible for their own taxes on fees received.
Attribution window
A confirmed referral remains credited to the referring partner for twelve (12) months from the date Fran Metrics confirms eligibility. If the referred system does not become a paying client within that window, the referral expires.
Exclusions
Self-referrals, referrals of a partner's own brand, and referrals by Fran Metrics employees or contractors are not eligible. Fran Metrics reserves the right to disqualify referrals obtained through spam, misrepresentation, or without the referred party's awareness, and to modify or discontinue the Program at any time. Changes do not affect fees already earned on confirmed referrals.
