What is the Focus Group Ambassador Referral Program?
This program helps recruit first-time focus group participants who are U.S. Residents and are interested in serving on a jury research focus group with Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers.
When an ambassador shares his or her unique link with others to sign up and complete the initial survey on our website, the ambassador earns a $10 reward per valid completed survey/referral.++
A valid referral requires a survey respondent to complete the initial survey, pass identity verification, be 18 years of age or older, and a U.S. Resident.
Eligibility to Participate in the Ambassador Referral Program:
Only Focus Group Participants are eligible to take part in our Focus Group Ambassador Referral Program.
- If you have not participated in a Derrick Law Firm focus group event, you are not eligible to become an ambassador.
- Join us for a focus group event by getting started here: www.derricklawfirm.com/focusgroup
Any person that is not a focus group participant and attempts to defraud Derrick Law Firm by sharing a referral link will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. See applicable laws at the bottom of this page.+
How do I become an ambassador?
To become an ambassador, please provide your name, email address, and phone number below. You must pass our identity verification process and then you will receive a unique URL to share with friends and family who are U.S. Residents and have an interest in participating in a focus group.
Who can I share my unique URL with to earn referrals?
You may share your unique URL with anyone who is a U.S. Resident, is 18+ years old, and is interested in joining a jury research focus group!
How much can I earn as an Ambassador?
For each valid, completed survey+, an ambassador earns a $10 reward.
You may earn up to $590 in a calendar year (59 completed surveys) before we will send you a W-9 form to complete and return. Once received, we will pay out any additional funds that have been earned.
How do I get paid?
As surveys are completed through your unique referral link, our focus group team and identity verification software will validate surveys/referrals and payments will be made in batches. Most ambassadors will receive full payment within 30 days of the month end but if completed surveys/referrals need additional verification, ambassadors may receive multiple payments as these are verified. Our team will give our best efforts to pay these within the 30 days of the month end.
- An ambassador will not receive payment for unverified referrals.
- Payment will be disbursed as referrals are validated.
- A valid survey is considered a fully completed survey by a respondent who has never filled out a survey, is a U.S. Resident, and is not flagged as spam through our fraud detection service.+
At the end of the month, we validate all completed surveys through a third party fraud detection service. For verified surveys/referrals, ambassadors will receive an email with a reward link. This reward link allows ambassadors to select how they wish to receive payment by accessing a catalog of prepaid cards, popular gift cards, or charitable donations.
If any questions arise, please reach out to our focus group coordinator, Brooke Holden, at 843-995-6073.
