One thing worth knowing about Gold: The $25,000 sales milestone is cumulative and one-time – there’s no annual target to maintain once you’ve hit it. Influenced sales count too, meaning if you were the procuring cause for a project where an end-user bought Ignition directly, that sale can be submitted through your Integrator Account.
