Compensation and benefits

₦50,000 monthly logistics allowance

Active marketers receive a ₦50,000 monthly logistics allowance.

The allowance is intended to cover ordinary marketing and sales expenses such as:

• Local transportation
• Telephone calls
• Mobile data and internet access
• Printing and photocopying
• Routine prospect follow-ups
• Local school visits
• Basic marketing materials

Routine expenses covered by the allowance are not reimbursed separately.

Exceptional expenses, including travel outside an assigned territory, accommodation, conferences or large promotional events, require written approval before they are incurred.

Payment of the logistics allowance is subject to the marketer remaining active, maintaining accurate portal records and submitting required reports.

First-year subscription commission

Associate Marketers earn 5% commission on qualifying subscription revenue collected from every school they successfully convert during the school’s first 12 months as a paying MySchoolPilot customer.

Commission:

• Is earned on subscription revenue actually received by Foregate Technologies Limited.
• Applies to qualifying monthly, termly or annual subscription payments.
• Continues during the school’s first 12 months as a paying customer.
• Is calculated after applicable refunds, reversals and excluded third-party charges.

Successful marketers may progress to higher levels with higher commission rates, targets and performance incentives.

Career progression

The MySchoolPilot marketing programme has three levels:

• Associate Marketer — 5% commission
• Marketer — 7.5% commission
• Senior Marketer — 10% commission

Promotion is based on verified performance, reporting compliance, professionalism and completion of any required training.

• The school has made its first cleared subscription payment.
• The payment has not been refunded or reversed.

Participation in the marketing programme may be automatically ended where a marketer:
