Our Mission
To create a safe and secure platform for members (through secure messaging), where members can search for a business, product or service without having to worry about their data and contact information being compromised, sold, exploited or shared. Members and advertisers can enjoy the benefits of earning cashback and referral commissions (members are rewared for making purchases from our advertisers and advertisers are rewared for making finalizing transactions after making a sale).Just like we value our members, we value our advertisers, which is why business owners are able to advertise and grow their business without experiencing the frustration of wasted advertising dollars (no sale or closed deal = no fee), while providing a guaranteed advertising ROI of 900% of higher. Perkminer.com is a platform where everyone (members and business owners) wins — no gimmicks, no membership fees, no contracts, no commitment, honest rewards, real results for businesses, and a trusted digital marketplace for everyone to enjoy.
Joe Mendez, Founder
Joe is passionate about building honest, results-driven connections between members and businesses, with privacy as a top priority (It's our standard). Member data is protected in a way that business owners do not have access to a member's contact information, until the member decides to whom and when they want to disclose that information, and even then, only one business gets that information at a time (not sold to multiple competeing businesses who are trying to earn a member's business.
Drawing on decades of experience in business, tech, and advertising agencies, he knows the frustration of wasted ad dollars (paying for leads, PPC, SEO, etc.) and getting Zero Sales or having ad fees that drastically reduce your profit margins.
As a consumer, Joe understands what's it's like having your personal data sold to other companies as a lead (non-stop phone calls, your mail-box getting filled with spam emails, etc.). That's why Joe incorporated secure messaging as a way for members and businesses to connect without ever comprimising a member's contact information.
In 2007, Joe created a Pay-Per-Sale/Pay-Per-Close model to help businesses achieve real results without high costs—obtaining a program copyright in 2008. With PerkMiner, he flipped the script: businesses earn cashback from making sales, not purchases, enjoying a minimum 900% ROI (paying $1 or less in fees for every $10 sold - max $250), plus cash back.
Joe knows real WORD-OF-MOUTH is the best advertising. That’s why PerkMiner pays out up to 87.5% of its ad revenue to reward members and business owners who spread the word and complete sales—so everyone wins.
Joe is also a U.S. Navy (naval intelligence) and law enforcement (police sergeant) veteran. PerkMiner is his vision for helping businesses grow—with trust and transparency at the center, while providing peace of mind to members that interact with businesses.
