How Menlo IQ Works

STEP ONE

Create a free referral campaign

When you sign up, you’ll create a referral campaign for your partners to use in generating referrals for you. At the campaign level, you’ll define the target customer you want to be introduced to.

Your campaign can be shared via a referral link, a form on your website, or even a business card. You and your partners can track all referrals directly within the campaign.

STEP TWO

Invite referral partners for free

A referral partner is anyone who completes the sign-up process. With the free plan, once three of your partners sign up, they’ll be able to refer leads to your campaign and make referral introductions for you.

You can also choose to make referral introductions for them through their campaigns.

STEP THREE

Sync your contacts privately for AI analysis

You and your partners can sync contacts from tools like Calendly or Stripe to identify referral opportunities. These contacts remain private and are not shared until a referral is made.

STEP FOUR

Exchange referrals using AI recommendations

When a referral opportunity is identified, Menlo IQ uses AI to research and score the lead based on its fit for you or your partner. Your partners can then send the lead to your referral campaign using their unique referral link.

Once the lead converts, it is attributed to the referral partner and tracked within the Menlo IQ referral CRM.

STEP FIVE

Close deals, track commissions, and stay motivated

As deals progress through the sales pipeline, your partners can view information about the deals they referred. Menlo IQ also allows you to track recurring commission payouts made via Zelle, ACH, PayPal, and other methods.

To keep partners motivated, Menlo IQ includes a sales leaderboard where they can see their performance and compete to drive more sales for your business.

Referral Software Integrations

Stripe
Sync your customers’ email contact information privately with Menlo IQ. Our AI will then analyze this data to identify customers who may be a good fit for a referral to one of your partners. Stripe can show you which of your highest value opportunities could be good to share with a partner.
Calendly
To sync Calendly with Menlo IQ, you must have a paid Calendly account. Once integrated, all past and future Calendly events will be saved privately within Menlo IQ. The integration will also sync your team members’ Calendly accounts, showing which meetings are assigned to each member.
Gmail (Coming Soon)
Menlo IQ does not currently read or save the body of your emails. However, when integrated with Gmail, the names and email addresses of your contacts will be analyzed to determine if they are a good fit for a referral to your partners—or if your partners have contacts suitable for you. Additionally, you will be able to send emails directly from Menlo IQ.
LinkedIn Contacts CSV Upload (Coming Soon)
LinkedIn allows you to export your connections from the platform to a CSV file. You are then allowed to upload this file to Menlo IQ for AI analysis and processing. We follow LinkedIn's terms of service when it comes to using your LinkedIn contact information in a way that protects your privacy. Menlo IQ will then suggest referral opportunities from within your network.

Frequently asked questions

Does Menlo IQ keep my contact information secure?

Yes, your contact information is kept secure and private until you choose to make an introduction to a partner. Partners can only see descriptions of your contacts that exclude personally identifiable information, ensuring GDPR compliance. This allows them to request referrals without compromising privacy.

Am I charged for any sales or commissions tracked in Menlo IQ?

No. Menlo IQ currently only charges for the paid plan, which is $97/month. In the future, we plan to charge a percentage of commissions when we introduce commission payouts within Menlo IQ.

How do referral introductions work?

Each partner in your referral network receives a unique referral link they can share directly with contacts, add to their website, or send via email. When a lead converts into a referral, the partner is credited for that referral. Any commission upon closing a deal is negotiated between you and the partner, but the commission is tracked within Menlo IQ.

What AI system does Menlo IQ use to analyze contacts for potential referrals?

We use OpenAI, the Google Search API, and other GDPR-compliant software to analyze publicly available information. This analysis is consistent with the terms of service of LinkedIn and other platforms.

Can I cancel at any time, and is there a contract?

Yes, you can cancel at any time, and there is no long-term contract. Cancellation can be done directly within the Menlo IQ software using the Stripe portal.

What happens if I want to stop working with a partner? Can I remove them easily?

Yes, you can manage your partners within the app and remove them at any time. In the Team section of the app, you can adjust a partner's access level to leads they’ve referred. If you remove a partner, you can always re-add them later.

Can I join other partners’ referral networks, and do I have to pay for that?

Menlo IQ only charges you for building your own referral network. You can join an unlimited number of partner networks at no additional cost.

What if I want to upload my LinkedIn connections or manually add contacts?

In the Integration section of the Menlo IQ app, you will soon be able to upload LinkedIn connections exported directly from LinkedIn. This complies with LinkedIn’s terms of service, and we provide steps to help you export your connections. Additionally, you can manually upload contacts via CSV at any time.

Are there options to export contacts from Menlo IQ?

Yes, you can export your contacts from Menlo IQ at any time via CSV. You also have the option to delete all your data directly from the platform if needed.

How does Menlo IQ provide feedback to my partners about the introductions they make for me?

Each partner has access to a personalized lead dashboard and analytics view for their campaigns. The primary metric shown is their average score for the leads they’ve sent, allowing them to see how well their introductions match your needs. Menlo IQ also scores each lead based on publicly available information and provides an explanation of why a lead is a good or poor fit for you.

I’m a small business owner without many contacts. Can I still use Menlo IQ?

Yes! One of Menlo IQ’s unique features is its ability to identify opportunities outside your current network. By obscuring the contact information of potential referrals, Menlo IQ ensures GDPR compliance while allowing you to request referrals from your partners’ networks, even if your own network is limited.

Can I find other partners who might want to refer deals to me?

Yes. You can invite partners who have made their profiles publicly available within the app. We are also working on new features to improve the partner marketplace and make it easier to find matches. You can toggle your public visibility setting on or off at any time.

What if I only want to receive referrals and don’t want to give any? Can I still use the software?

Yes. When creating an account, you can choose to only receive referrals, only give referrals, or do both. This setting can be updated at any time in your profile. Your contact-sharing permissions and CRM view will adjust based on the settings you select.

What industries are allowed to track commissions in Menlo IQ?

Only companies in industries where paying commissions for referrals is legally permitted can use Menlo IQ for this purpose. Users found violating applicable laws will be removed from the platform. To determine whether you are legally allowed to pay referral commissions, please review our terms of service. Note that this is not a comprehensive list, and you are responsible for ensuring compliance with all relevant laws.
