Learn More About Our Incredible Referral Programme For Multi-Academy Trusts
Why Do We Have A Referral Programme For Multi-Academy Trust Leaders?
Each and every month, we welcome over 50 new MAT central team leaders (including CEOs, COOs, CFOs, trust-wide SENCOs and many more) from across the country, all via word of mouth, all recommended by fellow MAT central leaders who attend our online events!
We are delighted and honoured to consistently hear the value and impact that The Education Showroom is adding to schools, academies and MATs. Our ever-growing portfolio of testimonials and case studies from MAT central leaders paints a clear picture of how highly they regard The Education Showroom and prefer our approach to any other event organiser in the country.
We want to say a massive Thank You by giving back to you and your MAT. Therefore, this exciting referral programme is our way of showing our appreciation by providing you with a £200 Amazon Voucher for each and every MAT central leader within your Trust and MAT central leaders from other Multi-Academy Trusts that you refer to us. Sound too good to be true? No! This is our way of showing our thanks and appreciation.
How To Submit Your Referral:
Prior to kindly referring a MAT central leader, you as the referee are required to email catherine@educationshowroom.co.uk with the MAT central leader you are referring ‘cc’d’ into the email to make a warm introduction and to enable us to track the source of the referral.
To qualify as a successful referral and receive the £200 Amazon voucher for you/your MAT, the MAT central leader you are referring must meet all the following criteria:
- Be a MAT central leader from your MAT or any other MAT.
- The MAT of which the central leader is employed by must be new to The Education Showroom and must not have attended an online event with us before or prior to your referral.
- The online event(s) that the referred MAT central leader registers and attends must be of genuine interest to their MAT – meaning their MAT is currently exploring products, services and/or solutions in-line with the event title/topic.
- The MAT central leader must attend two online events in full, with their camera and microphone switched on at all times, meet with all education suppliers, submit their fully completed feedback form prior to midnight on the day of the events and have no technical interruptions or disruptions throughout the events. The £200 Amazon voucher will be activated upon your referred MAT central leader completing two events with us.
Terms & Conditions:
- Should the above criteria be fulfilled, your £200 Amazon voucher will be issued electronically within 24 hours of the referred MAT central leader having completed their two online event in full as per the above requirements. The Amazon voucher will be sent to your MAT email address as an e-voucher.
