How it works
1. Lead identification: You identify prospects matching our client profile through your network, industry events, referrals, or research.
2. Initial qualification: You have discovery conversations to understand their need, budget, and timeline. We provide question frameworks and qualification criteria.
3. Conflict check: Before progressing any prospect, you register them with us for conflict clearance (are they already a client or in our pipeline?).
4. Qualified handover: Once qualified, you introduce them to our MD for a first meeting. You step back — we handle everything from there.
5. Commission tracking: We update you on progress and pay commission when contracts sign. Monthly reporting, 30-day payment terms.
Why this works
- No employment tie: Casual affiliate basis. Either party can stop participating anytime.
- No retainer risk: You only get paid when we get paid, but you get paid even when deals don't close (Stage 1 & 2).
- No sales pressure: Your job ends with the qualified introduction. We do the heavy lifting.
- Established business: We've been trading profitably for years. You're not gambling on a startup.
- Quality focus: We only want qualified leads, not meetings for the sake of it. Quality over quantity.
- Market-rate start with upside: We're starting at market rates to test the partnership. Deliver quality leads that convert and retain, and we'll pay above market for proven performance.
- 6-month performance review: Commission rates will be reviewed at 6 months. Strong performance in lead quality and conversion will be rewarded with rate increases.
- Clear expectations: Flat fee structure, defined client profile, qualification criteria. No guesswork.
