FAQ
Partner questions
How much can I earn as an AutoSmart partner?
It depends on the programme and on what we agree. Referral partners earn a referral fee on each client they introduce, and AutoSmart handles everything after the introduction. Reseller partners sell AutoSmart under their own business and keep the margin. Partners who co-sell larger roll-outs with our team share in the success. The amounts are agreed with each partner when we talk it through.
Can I combine more than one partner programme?
Yes. The three programmes are equal starting points, not tiers, and there are no fixed partnering rules: you can take one programme, mix them, or propose something of your own, as long as it works for both sides. You talk it through with our team, start with your first client and adjust the partnership as you grow.
What is the difference between the partner programme and AutoSmart Audit Connect?
They are for different businesses. The partner programme is for consulting firms, training organisations, automotive specialists, agencies and system integrators that refer, deliver or resell AutoSmart Audit to their clients. AutoSmart Audit Connect is our marketplace for external audit and mystery shopping companies: once approved, they pay a membership and bid on audit work posted by OEMs, importers, distributors and dealer groups.
Where are you looking for partners?
Right now we are especially looking for partners in France and the USA. We already work with consulting, training and automotive firms across the globe, and AutoSmart Audit is used at more than 4,000 outlets in over 35 countries, so applications from other countries are welcome too. When you apply, tell us the markets you cover and the clients you work with.
Do I need technical skills to partner with AutoSmart?
Not to refer: referral partners only introduce the business, and AutoSmart handles consultation, set-up and implementation. Solutions partners get the core technology, backend expertise, tools, frameworks and technical support for every delivery. Reseller partners get training, resources and backend support, with our team there when they need it. In every programme, you never have to build or run the technology yourself.
Can I partner with AutoSmart if my clients are not in automotive?
Yes. AutoSmart began with OEMs and dealer networks, and partners can offer it to car brands, dealer groups and retailers. AutoSmart Audit is also used by fuel and service stations, lube and tyre retailers and convenience stores, so it fits any client that runs many outlets to one set of standards. Tell us about your clients in your application and we will agree the partnership that fits.
