How it works

1.

Referral partner

If you have a network of in-house legal professionals, you can leverage your preferred channels to recommend Summize as a Contract Lifecycle Management solution and make a referral to Summize.

Whether it’s through networking groups, events, social media, forums, or email, if your referral leads to closed revenue, you’ll be rewarded with a generous percentage of the licence value.

2.

Reseller

Just like the referral partner, you’ll promote Summize to your network, but you’ll be involved right through to the point they become a customer. You’ll discuss use cases for CLM with the potential client and you’ll be part of the sales process alongside a dedicated Summize account manager. In return, you’ll get a bigger commission for your efforts.

3.

Content partner

By becoming a content partner, you’ll monetise your legal knowledge by making legal templates available directly to Summize clients, in a technology enabled format. You will create Summize content for specific contract types, for example a Master Services Agreement, Distribution Agreement etc.

All Summize customers will have access to a Playbook Marketplace, where your templates will be available for subscription. You’ll earn a royalty for every subscription.

Why partner with Summize?

When you join our partner program, you’ll be rewarded when you introduce new companies to the Summize approach to Contract Lifecycle Management – all while growing your own personal brand and relationships.

You’ll be recommending a market-disruptive CLM solution that legal and business users love, introducing contacts to the Summize community.

Summize will own the customer implementation and will invoice the customer directly.
