How do I earn money, and when do I get paid?

You earn a revenue share on every invoice a client you introduced pays us during the first 12 months after you introduce them, as set by your partner agreement. It is computed automatically per invoice, with no reporting required from you, and it accrues in your partner dashboard in real time. Payouts run on a regular schedule, and there is no cost to apply or join.

Who carries the refunds, taxes, and liability?

We do. As the merchant of record, we carry billing, refunds, sales tax, and service liability. The risk of delivering the service sits with us, a security operation that has run since 1987, not with the partner who made the introduction.

Does my team have to become cybersecurity experts?

No. We deliver and support everything in the tier a client picks: helpdesk, monitoring, patching, backups, and 24/7 security operations. Your team owns the relationship and opens the door; we can run the sales and onboarding, or built-in training gets your own reps closing confidently in days.

Is the program only for security and alarm companies?

No. It started with security, fire, and life-safety companies, and it is designed for any business that holds recurring, trusted relationships with other businesses: accounting firms, commercial cleaning and pest control companies, outdoor-living contractors, insurance agencies, and more. The fit test is simple: you serve businesses, and they already ask you for recommendations.

What does it cost to join the program?

Applying is free and takes under a minute with Microsoft or Google, no paperwork up front. You bring the client relationships; we bring the managed IT and cybersecurity operation behind the Preferred Plans. Program terms are shared during onboarding.

Who answers a support ticket or a security incident?

We do. Our helpdesk and 24/7 monitoring team handle everything from a forgotten password to a live threat. You stay informed and keep the client relationship, but you are never the one taking the call.

Do clients have to start at the top tier, or can they grow into it?

They can start wherever fits. Preferred Essentials, Professional, and Complete are a ladder: each tier includes everything in the tier below it, plus more, and every tier carries the same non-negotiable security baseline. Most clients start at Essentials or Professional and grow into Complete as their environment and compliance needs scale.

Every industry the program fits

Why partner with Preferred Data

You have already earned the trust. We turn it into revenue.

The companies your clients already rely on are the natural channel for managed IT and cybersecurity. The program converts the trust you have earned into recurring revenue while we carry the delivery, the support, and the risk.

Your clients already trust your recommendation

You show up for their business every week, month, or season, and that trust took years to earn. Managed IT and cybersecurity recommended by an advisor they already believe is an easy yes, and a better answer than a cold call from a stranger.

We bring the marketing, sales, and onboarding

We supply the marketing material and handle the sales conversations and onboarding end to end. Your team opens the door; ours does the selling, provisioning, and support. Reps who want to register a client themselves can, right in the portal.

Recurring revenue with no new labor

Nothing to install, stock, or support. You make the introduction and earn a share of every invoice that client pays for the first 12 months, without adding hours to your team.

Built for your trade, not for IT companies

The program is built for security installers, accounting firms, cleaning and pest control companies, outdoor-living contractors, and other B2B service trades. Each named trade has its own page explaining where the conversation naturally comes up with clients.

What could your book be worth?

Move the sliders to match the client base you already serve. The numbers below are an illustrative example built on a placeholder revenue-share assumption. Your real revenue share is set by your signed partner agreement, not by this calculator.

Illustrative example only. To make the math easy to follow, this calculator assumes a flat 7% revenue share, an example figure for illustration, not your rate. It also assumes every client comes on board at once; a revenue share runs for the first 12 months after you introduce each client. Your actual revenue share is set by your signed partner agreement, not by this page.

The three tiers you sell

Simple to explain. A ladder, not a menu.

Preferred Essentials, Professional, and Complete: clients start at the tier that fits and move up as their environment and compliance needs grow, and every tier carries the same non-negotiable security baseline. Delivery is remote-first with nothing for you to stock or install; when a client needs hands-on help, onsite support at Professional and above is handled by our team within our North Carolina service area.

A security operation your name can stand behind

What we promise you

Your book, your terms

Your customers stay yours

Register a deal and it is protected for 90 days, no one else in the program can claim it while you are working it. Once a client you introduced comes on board, their account stays attributed to you for 12 months, so expansion revenue from that relationship keeps flowing to you too, not just the first invoice.

No pressure, ever

No quotas, no minimums, no deals-per-quarter targets that reset. Bring on one client or a hundred clients, at whatever pace fits your business.

A real partner, not a hypothetical

Secur-Tek joined this program. Here is how it works for them.

The challenge

A threat neither team could see alone

An employee badges into a restricted area late at night. Minutes later, a server they've never logged into receives a connection request under their credentials. Is that a breach, or a coincidence? That's the scenario PDC and Secur-Tek built this partnership around: a physical-security company watching doors and cameras, and an IT company watching the network, with neither one seeing the other half of the picture.

The solution

One joint walkthrough, one point of contact

Secur-Tek, Inc. has protected homes and businesses across North Carolina's Triangle region since 1990. Under their partnership, Secur-Tek's physical-security techs and PDC's engineers now run a single joint site assessment for a shared client, one visit, both teams, covering cameras, access control, alarms, and the network they all sit on. Either team can be the first call; the other is coordinated behind the scenes.

Where things stand

PDC and Secur-Tek's partnership took shape in early 2026, and the two companies have been running joint client work under it since. We are not publishing a partner-earnings figure for Secur-Tek here, for the same reason the “paid to partners” counter elsewhere on this program waits for real payouts: we would rather show nothing than show a number that is not real yet. As soon as there is a verifiable figure to share, publicly and with Secur-Tek's sign-off, it replaces this paragraph.

“One partner. Complete protection.”

The core message of the PDC + Secur-Tek partnership campaign, not a personal endorsement we are attributing to anyone.
