Vertical-Specific Partner Programs recognize that a restoration emergency and a mortgage refinance are very different conversations. Each vertical has its own intake questions, credentials, and expectations, so each has its own partner program. It is part of our Business to Business Service.

Every program shares the same foundation: exclusivity by ZIP code and vertical, verified partners, live call routing, team-confirmed introductions, and a fair dispute process. What changes is the detail that makes introductions useful in your industry.

Partners can join more than one vertical program, and can hold several verticals in the same ZIP code.

Vertical programs also keep standards appropriate to each field. A renovation contractor and a homeowners insurance agent face different licensing rules, and each program verifies partners against the rules that apply to their work.
