Step 5: Recruit Students

Step 6: Set Up Referral Delegation

Supercharge your growth by delegating commissions to sub-agents:

How Delegation Works

1. Find trusted partners who can recruit on your behalf
2. Delegate a percentage of your commission (10-50%)
3. They promote your network using your referral code
4. Commissions split automatically
5. Both parties earn from network growth

Setting Up Delegation

1. Go to Referrals → Delegation
2. Search for agent by their referral code
3. Set delegation percentage
4. Confirm delegation agreement
5. Monitor delegated performance

Example:

• You earn 3% on network bookings
• Delegate 40% to a sub-agent
• Sub-agent earns 1.2% (40% of 3%)
• You still earn 1.8%
• Faster network growth benefits everyone
