Revenue Share Leads: A Guide to This Compensation Model

Revenue share leads describes a compensation model where the lead source is paid a percentage of ongoing revenue generated by a converted customer, rather than a fixed upfront price per lead.

This model aligns incentives between the lead source and buyer around genuine long-term customer value rather than raw volume.
