Two freelancers share their experiences: Yvan Burke, infrastructure and cybersecurity specialist, and Déborah Covindassamy, communications and marketing consultant.
Earn attractive additional income
Yvan has already seen several of the projects he shared through Malt's business referral program come to fruition. After 15 years in a consulting firm, he can now capitalize on his extensive professional network of clients and former colleagues. Yvan explains: "Making business referrals through Malt is both stimulating and lucrative. Since I have a senior profile, clients trust me because my experience guarantees the quality of the profiles I recommend. It's an opportunity to listen to client needs and create value for everyone."
In his field, these are mainly multi-month projects with an average daily rate of £585/€700, as shown in Malt's freelancer rate benchmark.
On her end, Déborah has had her first experience with Malt's business referral program and particularly appreciates how simple and community-oriented it is. "Malt's business referral program allows you to help another freelancer find a client, and in the freelance community, it's important to help each other out," emphasizes Déborah. "You just need to refine the client's need: fill out the online form, and then Malt handles the rest."
Why participate in Malt's business referral program?
A highly advantageous financial model
Often approached by companies offering supposedly similar benefits, Yvan finds that Malt's conditions offer more significant earning potential.
An opportunity to strengthen client relationships
By sharing opportunities within your network, you help other freelancers find new projects. But it's also an opportunity to strengthen your professional relationships, as Déborah confirms: "My client saved time in finding the right profile, and I contributed to bringing them added value. All of this further strengthened the trust between us."
A simple and quick process
Yvan enjoys suggesting the right profiles for each project and wants to be involved in client relationship building, although this isn't required to benefit from the program. This process usually takes him between 2 and 3 hours per project, but he sees notable benefits: in June 2024, he was recognized by Malt with the "Best Business Partner 2024" award.
As for Déborah, she simply filled out the online form, letting Malt take over: "It took me only 30 seconds to fill out the form, then Malt handled the rest: benefiting from the business referral program was super easy for me!" Regarding the ease of operation, Yvan agrees: "Malt's business referral program is very well designed: you can input everything directly on the interface, it's simple and efficient."
