What Happens If Your Rating Drops

We do not remove partners from the network without warning. If your rating drops below your tier minimum, here is the process:

  1. Partner Manager reaches out within 48 hours with specific feedback from customer reviews

  2. Coaching session to identify root causes (installation quality, timeline, communication)

  3. 90-day improvement plan with clear targets

  4. Rating reviewed at end of 90 days

Removal from the network is a last resort. Most rating issues are fixable with specific, targeted coaching.
