A referral partner is simply someone who refers paying clients to you.
Think accountants referring web designers. Coaches referring copywriters.
The deal
An unusual trade. A fair one.
No invoices. No retainer fees. Just this simple exchange.
You
Cover the Claude API costs — the actual AI usage while I do the research, profiling, outreach writing, and partner onboarding. We're talking a small fraction of what an agency retainer would cost. You pay Anthropic directly. I get nothing.
Me
Do all the work. Partner profiling. Shortlist research. Outreach copy. Relationship management. Onboarding. Playbook. The full build — until you have 5 active referral partners sending you warm leads or sales.
Why this deal? I'm using this engagement to sharpen an AI-powered referral partner system I'm building. You get the output. I get the real-world data. It only works if I go deep — which is why it's one client only.
What I do for you
From zero partners to five active ones
A focused sprint. Repeatable system. Real relationships.
01
Mapping your ideal referral partner profileWe identify the adjacent businesses and professionals whose clients are already looking for what you do.
02
Building the partner shortlistI research and qualify real candidates — people with the right audience, the right trust, and a genuine reason to refer you.
03
Crafting the outreach and offerWe design a compelling partner offer and I write the outreach sequences that get replies from warm, aligned businesses.
04
Handling introductions and onboardingI manage the conversations and hand you a partner who understands your offer, is motivated to refer, and is ready to go.
05
Documenting the repeatable playbookYou get a full playbook so you (or your team) can keep adding referral partners long after we're done.
