Answers
1. Why don’t you work on commission? There are a number of reasons we don’t operate on a commission basis:
-
Maintains focus on maximising outcomes for your business to your goals, across sales, cost reduction, asset utilisation and employee benefits. Operating under a commission would narrow the output to only a sales focus, on the biggest return to Intelligent Connections™ as opposed to the best value outcomes for our partners. At the same time discouraging extra value creation.
-
No ‘hidden’ costs to our Partners.
-
Integrity. Partner to Partner openness, trust, and accessibility in interactions within the Intelligent Connections™ group is core to our success. When an idea or interaction is raised, it is recommended because it is of value for our Partners.
-
Even ‘playing field’ for all Partners.
-
Share success – we like our Partners to simply communicate success as opposed to calculating how much commission would be owed.
-
Partner to Partner value unattainable anywhere else. No margins added from Intelligent Connections in interactions or in the Exclusive Buying Group. This means that the full value offered by Partners for other Partners and their employees is not ‘diluted’.

2. Are there any ‘hidden’ fees? There are no extra fees. All services described under Intelligent Connections™ are covered by your annual Partnership levy.

3. Why do I pay an Annual Partner Levy upfront? Partners pay an Annual Partner Levy upfront to protect our existing Partners in the spirit of Mutual cooperation. It would be disruptive for our existing Partners to have new Brands join with a low commitment to the mutually cooperative framework.

4. Why is it a 12 month levy, can I join for 6 months? No. We need time to work with you, being respectful of our other Partners requirements, to get you to the right people to discuss the right topic for the right outcomes. Less time would reduce the value potential for you and other Partners.
5. Can I access B2BCentral without being a Partner employee? Yes, you can subscribe for $99. Register at www.B2BCentral.com.au. Your subscription fee will grant you 12 months unlimited access.
