WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY STARTS

Make the work
solve the right problem.

A referral program needs more than a commission link. Partners need to understand who the offer helps, why it is worth recommending, and how the relationship works.

This is a good place to start if…

  • Customers or partners already recommend your business informally.
  • You want a structured affiliate or referral program.
  • An existing program needs clearer onboarding, materials, or measurement.
CONCRETE WORK. CLEAR DELIVERABLES.

    PROGRAM SCORECARD
KEEP THE CUSTOMER ACTION IN VIEW

Know what
progress looks like.

We establish the starting point, agree on the useful measures, and explain what the evidence can tell us.

Active partners

Partners who have completed onboarding and are making relevant recommendations.

Customer quality

Qualified referrals, conversions, retention, and fit with the intended audience.

Program economics

Rewards, fees, and operating effort compared with the value the program creates.

Targets are agreed from your baseline. Results depend on the offer, audience, resources, and execution; no specific commercial result is guaranteed.

THE RIGHT SIZE OF ENGAGEMENT

Start with the work
that makes sense.

Program strategy, launch setup, or ongoing partner support. Recruitment volume, platform costs, commission funding, payout responsibilities, and program terms are agreed upfront.

Discuss your scope
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you
get in touch.

Do you bring an existing affiliate network?

The work begins by identifying suitable partners for your audience and offer. We do not assume an existing network or promise a set number of partner sales.

Can this be a simple customer referral program?

Yes. A focused referral process may fit better than a full affiliate program. We choose the structure based on the customer journey and economics.

Who pays commissions and approves program terms?

Your business owns those decisions. The proposal defines the tracking and payout responsibilities, and any legal review of program terms is arranged separately.

What happens on the first call?

Bring your website, the offer you are working on, and the main thing you want to change. We will discuss the goal, fit, and a sensible next step. A project begins after its scope and price are agreed.
