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.
