Does your company offer for paid referrals to others?

My company does and works with businesses doing over $1M+ rev a year, and 10 to 5000 employees white and grey collar business. We offer $200 for each introduction to a c-level/owner of said business that leads to a first meeting. We also offer anywhere from $500 to $2000 if that deal closes as well as residual payouts after the 4th referral that closes. 

I'm curious how this is compared to others and if it would benefit anyone to make some extra cash plus help their clients and connections?

I have seen straight % of deal that closes. On finance, it can be .25% to 1.5% for referrals. For SaaS, I have seen up tp 10% of the first year’s rev.

Sounds like a pretty solid referral program. Who do you advertise the program to? Anyone and everyone or current customers and trusted partners?

Just our individual connections. I’ve set organizational wide referral partners also. But everyone really. Never know who knows

We can also give the money to a charity of your choice if you prefer.

For my company, we have the ability to do so and set our own parameters as an AE on what we would offer as a referral.

What are some ways in which you leveraged a job offer to get a raise, etc. from current job?

Connection got me an interview that I otherwise wouldnt have gotten because of field change, not due to intellect or abilities. Position is managerial and, from what I gathered, stated salary plus bonus. Should I negotiate, which I always do, or go with what they offer?
