MDF goals are based mainly on achieved revenue targets. Partners who attain 100% of the MDF goal will be able to access these funds for pre-approved MDF expenses. Partners who do not attain 100% of the MDF goals remain eligible for the percentage equal to the percentage of the goal attained. However, to be eligible for any reimbursement the partner must attain a minimum of 50% of the mutually agreed upon goals.
