The V3Connect platform is a digital version of an
existing referral network. The platform is designed to connect vetted members
providing product(s) or service(s) to customers on the platform. This is a win-win
for members as they get business that may have gone to a different provider
of the needed product or service. In addition, it’s a win for customers to work
with real business professionals that have been vetted and background checked. Also,
if there is ever a problem you can contact V3Connect and we will do all
we can to make the situation right. The resolution will be based on the
contract or purchase order of a product or service from a V3Connect member.
V3Connect generates revenue from paid memberships, business
events, paid ads and articles on the platform and in the newsletter, commissions
sales of products and services, affiliate partners’ ad space and marketing.
V3Connect was started in Southern Oregon, we are able to
sign up members anywhere in the US. Anyone in the US can buy a product
or service from anyone on the platform anywhere in the US.
Perks members get the following marketing options at no additional cost!
V3Connect offers a non-paid membership option. This
is called Non-perks and this is a commission only option. The
commissions are paid when a referral from the V3Connect platform or a V3Connect
business event results in the sale of product(s) or service(s). Non-perks members
will need to pass a basic background check before their membership is approved.
All businesses on the V3Connect platform should all have the proper licensing, insurance and be bonded when applicable.
As part of the vetting process perks members will need to provide their license info and if they have proper insurance and if they are bonded if needed.
Though we recommend all businesses and freelancers are licensed, insured and properly bonded Non-perks members don’t have to provide proof like perks members do as part of the vetting process.
Note: This is a link with helpful information about bonds in Oregon. If you are outside of Oregon, the information for your state might be different. If you not an Oregon resident use the search criteria: “state name and business bonds” to search for information.
As soon as your application is processed and your background
check is passed and your membership payment is made you will be eligible to receive
referrals. Be sure to check the site often as jobs can be posted to the job
boards at any time. Perks members will normally be notified if an RFP “request
for proposal” or “request for product” that matches your offering comes in so
be sure to watch your email as well.
As part of the vetting process for all perks and non-perks
members’ applications V3Connect utilizes a third-party vendor such
as Screeningone to conduct the secure background checks. The basic cost for
background checks is $50.00 and needs to be paid at the time of completing the
online application. This fee is nonrefundable as it is paid to the background screening
vendor for services rendered. If the applicant has lived in multiple states and
the background fees exceed the standard $50.00, they will be notified, and the
additional fee must be paid before the application will be approved.
Perks member applications background checks: Once the
online application has been filled out and the application fee has been paid
you will receive a secure link from Screeningone to your email provided. Click
the link or copy and paste it into your web browser of your choice. Fill out
the information and the application will be processed. This normally takes 5 –
7 business days.
