FAQs about Noomii's Referral Program
These are FAQs about our Referral Program. For more general questions, please see our FAQs for Coaches.
What is Noomii's Referral Program?
The Referral Program is our VIP matchmaking service, the crown jewel of Elite membership, where we personally connect clients with the right coach.
Here is how it works: some clients do not want to scroll through hundreds of profiles. Instead, they fill out a form with their goals, challenges, background, and details like age or career stage. Our team reviews it and hand picks a tiny group of coaches, sometimes just one, who we believe are the best fit. Those coaches get a direct introduction, no awkward chasing, no cold outreach, just a warm lead who already wants help.
And here is the big deal: the Referral Program is only available to Elite members.
Here is the breakdown:
- Pro Plan: $37/month or $447/year. You get listed in the Noomii Directory plus SmartMatch leads delivered to your inbox. 30% commission on payments made through the platform.
- Elite Plan: $97/month or $1,164/year. Everything in Pro plus the Referral Program, lower commission fees at 15%, and full access to Noomii Sales Academy where you work directly with our CEO to master marketing and sales.
Word of mouth is king. The Referral Program is us acting like your friend who sets you up with the perfect client.
Cheeky math: one client paying $350/month for six months equals $2,100. That is already about double an Elite membership. Even if you land zero clients, the included tools, CRM, email, scheduling, are worth more than the entire membership. Mailchimp about $40/month, HubSpot CRM about $50/month, Calendly about $15/month, more than $1,200/year if bought separately. With Elite, you are saving money before your first coaching call.
So let us spell it out:
- Pro: you are in the game, showing up in searches and getting SmartMatch leads.
- Elite: you are in the VIP lounge, personally introduced to clients, paying less in commissions, and saving money on tools you would pay for anyway.
Pro gets you seen. Elite gets you chosen.
How does Noomii match coaches and clients in the Referral Program?
We do not do random. Matching clients with coaches is smart tech plus human insight.
What goes into it:
- Membership tier: Elite coaches get front row access to the Referral Program. Pro coaches benefit from SmartMatch.
- Coaching type: career, business, executive, life, spiritual, health, holistic, and more. If you specialize there, you are in the mix.
- Keywords: client words like clarity, burnout, confidence. Profiles that align get bumped up.
- Location: local can matter, region can help, remote still works.
- Preferences: gender, session frequency, urgency level.
- Experience and credentials: years in practice and certifications build trust.
- Budget alignment: if your rates match the client budget, the likelihood of a match rises.
Pro, $37/month or $447/year: SmartMatch works behind the scenes and puts you in front of clients based on what they ask for.
Elite, $97/month or $1,164/year: you get everything in Pro plus the Referral Program, lower commission fees at 15%, and access to Noomii Sales Academy.
SmartMatch gets you seen. The Referral Program gets you chosen.
What do I need to do when I get referred to a prospective client?
Move fast and follow up like a pro. When you are referred, you get an email, sometimes a text. Respond quickly because clients may hear from more than one coach.
Your playbook:
- Call immediately if you have a number.
- Leave a voicemail.
- Send an email, reference Noomii, suggest times.
- Follow up with a short text.
Use a sequence, multiple touches. Noomii opens the door, you walk through it. Elite members learn this in the Noomii Sales Academy.
What happens if I recommend myself and I am not selected?
The Recommend Yourself button is for Elite coaches. If you are not selected, there is no follow up. If you are selected, you will be notified right away. Do not take non selections personally, factors like budget, location, and response speed matter.
Am I automatically included in the Referral Program when I sign up for Noomii?
Not quite. Paid plans get listed in the Directory and receive SmartMatch leads. The Referral Program is only for Elite members.
- Pro: listed in the directory, SmartMatch leads to your inbox.
- Elite: everything in Pro plus Referral Program access with personal recommendations.
When you join Elite, we schedule a conversation to learn your specialties and ideal clients so referrals fit you.
What does the Referral Program cost?
Commissions by tier:
- Pro: 30% on SmartMatch clients.
- Elite: 15% on Referral Program clients, plus VIP matchmaking, Sales Academy, and tools.
We do the SEO, ads, and matching so you pay only if you get paid. Example: Elite lands one client at $350/month for six months equals $2,100. At 15% you keep $1,785, which already covers the $1,164 Elite membership.
That sounds like a lot. Why so much?
Many services charge 30% to 50% and give you nothing but a name. With Noomii, Pro is 30%, Elite is 15%, and Elite includes your core tools. You pay only when you win.
Do I pay a referral fee for every client I get through Noomii?
- Directory leads: client finds you and hires you directly, 0% commission.
- SmartMatch (Pro and Elite): commission only if they hire you, Pro 30%, Elite 15%.
- Referral Program (Elite only): personal introductions, 15% if hired.
No hidden fees, no charges for clicks. If you do not land a client, you do not pay.
How are referral fees collected?
You pay a referral fee only when you get paid by a client. You get paid by the client as usual, then submit the commission to Noomii based on your tier, Pro 30% or Elite 15%.
Directory hires remain 0% commission.
I am already paying to be on the directory. Why pay extra for referrals?
Your membership covers directory visibility and SmartMatch. The Referral Program adds premium, hand picked introductions that require ad spend, SEO, and human matching. Unlike pay to contact sites, you pay only after you get paid.
How many client referrals will I get?
On average, 1 to 2 per month, sometimes none, sometimes more. Niche, pricing, profile quality, and search demand all affect volume. One Elite referral at $350/month for six months often covers your year.
How do I apply to join the Referral Program?
- Upgrade to Elite, $97/month or $1,164/year.
- Complete onboarding so we understand your specialties and ideal clients.
- Agree to the Referral Program Terms of Service.
Already a free Hobbyist member, email support@noomii.com and ask to upgrade to Elite.
I have already done my interview. How do I join the Referral Program?
The interview alone is not enrollment. Upgrade to Elite, complete onboarding, agree to the terms, and you will be added to the Referral Program.
Is it normal to receive leads that do not follow up?
Yes. Leads fall on a spectrum from window shoppers to all in. Follow up by phone, voicemail, email, text, and repeat. The coaches who land clients use a simple, consistent follow up system. Elite members learn this in Sales Academy.
Why do I have to complete the Onboarding Process?
Referrals are not one size fits all. Onboarding gives our Coach Matching Experts the details to recommend you to the right clients. You can also record an audio interview so clients hear your style and voice, which increases clicks and leads.
