Editor's Notes Program is structured into 4 different levels based upon level of involvement by partner in the sales process and customer engagements. Referral Partners*: commissions are paid up front on a onetime basis, not residual, and based on a percentage of the contracted MRC. Tier 1, 2, 3 Partners: commissions are paid on a monthly residual basis for the term of the contract as a percentage of the commissions GCG receives from the provider, not the contracted MRC. When working with GCG, we provide valuable insight into the latest technologies, pricing trends and market players. As a result, we are able to provide our customers with customer focused solutions and if you need a complete solution, we can do that as well.
