When Do You Get Paid?
Annual subscriptions: Your reward is paid within 90 days once the referred company has signed its agreement, completed onboarding, and paid its annual subscription upfront.
Monthly subscriptions: Your reward is paid after six months of active service, provided all invoices have been paid.
Already an ArboStar customer? Apply your rewards toward your subscription or renewal, or request an alternative payout.
Not an ArboStar customer? Your rewards are paid directly by bank transfer in US dollars.
The Five-Company Milestone Bonus
An Extra US$2,000. Just for Reaching Five.
Refer five tree care companies that become paying ArboStar customers, and we'll reward you with an additional US$2,000, on top of your regular referral earnings.
There's no deadline to reach five successful referrals.
And if you're already an ArboStar customer, we'll throw in two additional months of your subscription for free.
Who to Refer
Know a Tree Company That Sounds Like This?
ArboStar is built for tree care businesses of all sizes, from small residential crews to large commercial operations, plant health care companies, and multi-location businesses.
Chances are, you've heard a fellow arborist or business owner say something like this:
“I'm still doing estimates at 10 PM after working all day.”
“My crews keep calling because they don't have the job details.”
“We finished that big removal, but I couldn't tell you if we actually made any money on it.”
“We're running the whole company on spreadsheets, a whiteboard, and a few different apps.”
Sound familiar? You probably know someone who could benefit from ArboStar.
Already using ArboStar or speaking with our team? Those companies aren't eligible as new referrals.

The rules
Questions referrers ask
Who can join?
Anyone: owners, crew leaders, climbers, ArboStar customers, and people outside tree care who know a tree company owner. You do not need to be a customer to refer one. Suppliers, dealers and associations that want an offer for their own customers or members: see Industry Partners.
When do I get my link?
As soon as you join. It comes by email, together with your invitation to the community.
What counts as a qualifying referral?
A tree care company that is not already an ArboStar customer and is not already talking to our sales team, and that signs an ArboStar agreement, annual or monthly, after coming to us through your link or naming you when they sign up.
When is my reward paid, and how?
In US dollars, on the referred company's first-year contract value. Annual plan: within 90 days once they have signed, finished onboarding and made the upfront payment. Monthly plan: after 6 months of active use with every invoice paid. If you are an ArboStar customer, the reward comes off your own invoice (monthly plan) or your renewal (annual plan), or you can ask us for another payout. Otherwise we pay it by bank transfer.
Do I have to sell anything?
No. Introduce us and send your link. We contact the company only once they have asked us to, and the demo is theirs to book or skip.
Is there a limit?
No. Refer as many companies as you like. When the first five of them become paying customers, you also earn a one-time US$2,000 bonus on top of the per-referral rewards, with no time limit. ArboStar customers also get 2 months of their subscription free.
Can I refer my own company, or a second location of it?
No. Companies you own or work for do not qualify. A separately owned company does, even if you know the owner well.
What does the company I refer get?
A demo booked through your link, and the onboarding and training every new ArboStar customer gets. There is no separate discount for the companies you refer: the referral reward is yours.
