Frequently Asked Questions

Great question! As you know, LinkedIn allows you to make and receive introductions, but there's no easy or obvious way to get paid for those introductions, and the last thing you want is to spam your contacts asking them to introduce you to someone!

introstars is the first and only introductions marketplace where you can:

1. Get introduced to high-value prospects, candidates, and buyers by millions of potential introducers who will refer you to the most relevant people in their network.
2. Get paid good money whenever you make a business intro that generates revenue - so you can use introstars to monetise your LinkedIn relationships!

introstars uses the LinkedIn authentication login - so you can sign up in 3 clicks - but introstars really elevates the entire introduction experience to monetise every successful referral!

Unlike typical referral programs which are hard to find, hard to promote, and only pay out small amounts of money, introstars is a one-of-a-kind introductions marketplace that empowers you to earn substantial amounts of money from valuable business referrals - anywhere between £500 - £10k+ for each referral.

introstars also connects introseekers (those looking for intros) to warm leads from millions of potential introducers who will refer you to the most relevant people in their network, allowing everyone to benefit from amazing new relationships.

introstars is the first and only introductions marketplace where you can say goodbye to spammy low-quality lead generation. Unlike lead gen agencies which send out cold emails and cold calls to spam loads of people hoping for an answer, introstars only offers intros to warm leads from millions of potential introducers without any commitment - and you only pay an intro fee on success, so there's no risk.

You can create an opportunity post on introstars in minutes - which is just like a lead gen program for intros - and you can keep track of the intros you’ve received at all times using our unique introtracker dashboard.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. introstars is powered by introprotect, our unique intro protection framework, to protect all intros & ensure every ‘intro success fee’ is paid.

All introseekers & introducers must accept legal terms to post an ad & make an intro. That means if an introseeker doesn’t pay the intro success fee, introstars will work with you and one of our specialised law firms to recover your intro fee reward.

Also, introstars is based on user reputation; it's in all users' best interest to have a great reputation to receive multiple intros, so introseekers are incentivised to be honest and pay all intro fees on time every time to keep a good reputation.

If an introseeker has a poor track record, introstars will reach out to them to resolve the situation, and this could include legal actions and/or banning from the platform. So thanks to introprotect, you're covered, and rest assured your successful intros always get paid.

Great question! We value high-quality introductions more than a morning coffee because without them, introstars wouldn’t work. That’s why our unique introprotect framework asks all introseekers & introducers to accept legal terms to post an ad & make an intro.

We also ask introducers how they know the lead and why the lead is relevant for the specific opportunity, so we can make sure you get a high-quality introduction. At the end of the day, all users want repeat intros so it’s in their best interest to have a good reputation on introstars.

An introseeker is someone seeking warm introductions to valuable leads, while an introducer is someone making those introductions to make money.

An introducer can use introstars for free to make intros while an introseeker can get regular introductions to warm leads for only £95/month (ex. VAT).

Many introseekers are also introducers, so can make and receive intros. If you join introstars as an introducer, you can always add your own opportunity later to become an introseeker.

Yes, you can! You have the flexibility to play both roles on introstars.

As an introseeker, you can receive regular intros to warm leads for £95/month (ex. VAT), and as an introducer, you can monetize your valuable connections by making successful introductions on introstars for free.

You can! Professionals, B2B salespeople, recruiters, and entrepreneurs can all benefit from introstars. Whether you're looking to monetize your connections or get introductions to warm prospects, candidates, or buyers, introstars empowers you to make and receive all the intros you'll ever need!

As an introducer, making introductions is free on introstars and you get paid significant amounts of money for it - far more than any typical referral program! As an introseeker, you can receive regular introductions to warm prospects, candidates, or investors for only £95 per month (ex-VAT).

This is much more affordable and effective than typical lead gen agencies which send out cold emails and cold calls to spam loads of people hoping for an answer. introstars only offers intros to warm leads from millions of potential introducers without any commitment - and you only pay an intro fee on success, so there's no risk. introstars only keeps 10% of the intro success fee, and pays out the rest to the introducer.

You sure can! Making introductions is entirely free for introducers. You can use introstars to monetize your connections without any upfront costs. That means you could earn between £500 - £10k+ for just one valuable introduction, completely free of charge.

We only use this data to make the sign up process easier for you and do not share the data with any other sources, platforms, or organisations.

Once you close a successful deal with a lead you met through introstars, you’ll confirm the size of the ‘intro success fee’ based on the size of the final closed deal.

For example; let’s say you close a £15k deal and you originally set the intro fee as 15% of the deal. This means the final intro success fee you’ll pay is £2,250.

Then, you’ll do the following:

1. Head to the introtracker dashboard
2. Set the deal as ‘closed’
3. introstars then generates an invoice for the success fee so you can pay the intro success fee via Stripe directly to introstars.

We then keep 10% of the intro success fee and pay the introducer the remaining reward. That's it! You're done. introstars ensures a smooth process, and you can trust that your payment is securely processed thanks to Stripe.

You’ll get paid your intro success fee when the deal resulting from your introduction is closed and the payment is made by the introseeker through introstars. As soon as the introseeker pays the success fee invoice, introstars instantly sends out the payment to the introducer.

You can keep track of the status of your intros & earnings on the introtracker dashboard.

As an introducer, you can earn between £500 to £10k+ for each successful introduction that results in a closed deal. The amount you earn for each intro will vary depending on the intro fee set by the introseeker.

For example; let’s say the intro you make for a £15k deal is successful and the intro fee is set as 15% of the deal. This means the final intro success fee is £2,250.

introstars keeps 10% of every intro success fee so you get paid £2,000 for just one intro! Then, you can carry on making other intros to make as much money as you want on introstars.

We’ll split this answer into the steps involved for introseekers and introducers.

For introseekers (those seeking introductions):

1. Post what (and who) you’re looking for:

Create an opportunity post on introstars outlining your lead requirements and the type of warm leads you're seeking for your business goals.

1. Get warm intros from introducers:

Introducers will message you to get to know more about you and your opportunity and then introduce you to the most relevant person in their network.

1. Meet your hot prospects and woo them over:

Now it’s time to work your magic. Meet with the warm prospects you’ve been introduced to and woo them over to close the deal.

1. Close the deal, pay the introducer, and bask in glory:

Agree on the deal size with your chosen prospect and close the deal. Then it’s time to set the deal as ‘closed’ on the introtracker, pay the intro success fee, and watch your business flourish thanks to introstars.

For introducers (those making introductions):

1. Browse opportunities to make money from business intros:

Each opportunity on introstars shows the potential success fee you’ll get paid if a deal is closed - so you can pick and choose to your heart’s delight!

1. Message the person looking for an intro:

Choose a relevant intro opportunity and message the person looking for an intro (the introseeker). Get to know them and build trust before deciding to make an intro.

1. Make a relevant introduction:

Find the most relevant contact in your network who would be interested in the services offered by the introseeker. Then introduce them to the introseeker via introstars.

1. Get paid when the deal is done:

Simple as that. Once the deal is closed, you’ll get paid your success fee - woohoo! Now it’s time to make another intro.

No, you’ll be glad to know the lead/introducee doesn't need to be on introstars. We aim to empower warm introductions, regardless of whether the lead is an introstars user.

However, both the introseeker and the introducer must be on introstars - that’s where you make, receive, and monetise your business intros!

So we can securely sign you in! It is essential for LinkedIn authentication and the introstars super-high tech security gizmo for all users to have a face.

Using LinkedIn’s authentication login ensures a seamless and secure sign-up process in just 3 clicks using LinkedIn's built-in security features and background checks for all introstars users.

1. Head to the introtracker dashboard
2. Set the deal as ‘closed’
3. introstars then generates an invoice for the success fee so you can pay the intro success fee via Stripe directly to introstars.

We then keep 10% of the intro success fee and pay the introducer the remaining reward. That's it! Payment complete.

introstars is powered by introprotect, our unique intro protection framework, to protect all intros & ensure every ‘intro success fee’ is paid. This includes the following protection protocols:

Great question! There are 3 benefits to paying the intro success fee on introstars rather than directly to the introducer, all thanks to our unique protection framework; introprotect - making sure all intros and payments on introstars are protected.

1. Invoices are generated by introstars

When an introseeker closes a successful deal thanks to an intro on introstars, they simply go to the introtracker and click on ‘Pay Success Fee’ and introstars generates an invoice for them to pay the success fee (plus VAT) directly to introstars. 10% of the success fee is then kept by introstars and introstars pays the remaining balance to the introducer. This entire transaction is covered by introprotect to make sure the introducer gets paid and the introseeker’s intro and payment are protected.

1. You can keep track of all your intro success fees

Using the introtracker dashboard, staying on top of your intro success fees is super easy, whether they’re paid or pending. introstars will also send you reminders for pending success fee payments to make sure everyone benefits from the value of introstars. You can also keep track of all the intros and earnings you’ve made on the introtracker!

1. You’re covered by the introstars legal terms

All introseekers & introducers must accept legal terms to post an ad & make an intro. That means if an introseeker doesn’t pay the intro success fee, introstars will work with one of our specialised law firms to recover the introducers intro fee reward.

As an introducer, there are no fees, whatsoever. You can make introductions for free on introstars and get paid significant amounts of money for it - far more than any typical referral program! introstars only keeps 10% of the intro success fee paid out by the introseeker.

As an introseeker, the fees include a £95/month (ex. VAT) subscription to be able to receive regular introductions to warm leads and the intro success fees which vary for each opportunity you create depending on the final closed deal size.

Once an intro has officially been made on introstars, that intro stays valid for exactly 12 months from the intro date, which you can track in the introtracker. All business transactions conducted between the introseeker’s company and the company of the lead/introducee within 12 months of that intro date should result in a success fee paid by the introseeker to the introducer via introstars, including any recurring revenue and multiple separate transactions with the same client within that 12 months period.

For each success fee (after each revenue transaction with the lead), the introseeker can simply go to the introtracker and click on “Pay Success Fee” to receive an invoice; the amount of the invoice for this success fee is set by the introseeker, based on the % or fixed amount in their initial opportunity posting.
