Frequently Asked Questions About Becoming a Referral Agent

GMI Referral Agents are licensed and authorized to inform the public about the official registration office for the Global Music Industry. There are two types of agents; Level 1 and Level 2. 

GMI Referral Agents Level 1 and 2 both inform and educate about the registration process. Once the person is interested, you refer them to the intake team at GMI.  The team will take care of the entire set up process. Level 1 Agents simply refer and nothing more. However, Level 2 agents are a higher level agent that will oversee that the GMI Intake Team has fully processed the person and have assigned them a GMI Senior Registration Agent.

GMI Referral Agents Level 1 earn a flat fee.  Level 2 Agents earn 25% of first year registration fee and are eligible for bonuses. They are also eligible to advance to Senior Agents once they have mastered their Level 2 agent duties. 

The cost for all GMI Agent Licenses are the same.  

  • There is a one time application fee of $50usd
  • There is a $30usd background check fee
  • There is a $100usd training fee.

The training process is quite simple and therefore only takes 1 day of training. However, trainees will have to attend meeting for an oral and form exam to obtain their certification. An agents training is finished once they can display that they have and understand the correct content knowledge and procedures to assist the registrants. 

Immediately!  Once an agent has passed both the form and oral certification, they can start earning immediately.  In fact, there is a special bonus that all GMI Agents are eligible for. If they complete 100 registrations in 100 days, they will receive a bonus which is $150 which is a refund of their application and training fee. 

No. Unlike other types of licenses in the industry such as business licenses, insurance licens or real estate licenses that have to be renewed. GMI Agent licenses do not as long as the agent remains in compliance.  There is a monthly fee currently of $10usd per month to remain active and all agents have minimum quotas to meet each week.
