Say the name.Get paid monthly.
You already talk to the exact people we serve. One intro. We handle everything else. You earn 5% every month a partner client stays, and 7% of the first project on one-off work.

Per Referred Partner Client
5%/mo
Recurring, every month they stay. On a $5K partnership that is $250 a month, and $500 once they step up to $10K. Not a one-time finder fee. A monthly check.

The Work Behind the Referral
Your reputation
is safe.
What You Are Referring Them To
A fractional CMO.
On their team.
A fractional CMO on direction and strategy, embedded in their business. Two working sessions a week, sign-off on everything that goes out, and a plan for where the work lands. Production comes in at cost when the plan calls for it.

Comp Structure
Recurring, not one-time.
Partnership referrals pay every month the client stays active, not just the month they sign. One-off project work pays a larger slice, once.

The Math
It compounds.
Four partnership clients on the $5K tier is a thousand a month, every month they stay. Figures below use the $5K entry tier, so they go up when a client steps into the full partnership.

Know the
signals.
The referral is easy when you know what to listen for.
01
They post inconsistently or their social presence doesn't match the quality of their business.
02
They're using Canva, a nephew, or a rotating door of freelancers and it shows.
03
They just opened, rebranded, or expanded and need to look the part.
04
They're hiring a marketing coordinator or creative director and burning $60K+ on salary.
05
They're an agency that keeps hitting capacity walls on deadline weeks.
How It Works
Four steps. Zero effort.
01
You make the intro.
Email, text, or a warm handoff. Whatever feels natural. Connect us and let us know they're coming.
02
We take it from there.
We handle the conversation, the pitch, the onboarding, and all the work. You're not managing anything.
03
They sign. You get paid.
Comp starts the month the client goes active. Partnership referrals pay monthly for the life of the client.
04
We keep you in the loop.
Monthly update on your referred clients, their status, and your earnings. Full transparency.
Who We Want
Trust and proximity.
Not salespeople. Not affiliates. Professionals who already operate in the same rooms as our clients.
Marketing strategists & consultants
Business coaches & fractional CMOs
Commercial real estate agents
Event planners & PR professionals
Web developers who don't do design
Accountants & attorneys who advise SMBs
Print shops & signage companies
"We need to get our branding together" or "we're thinking about hiring someone for marketing." That's the moment. That's the referral.
Questions
Before you ask.
How do I actually make the referral?
However feels natural. Email intro, text, a quick mention at dinner. If they're interested, connect us and we take it from there. No forms, no tracking links, no awkward pitches.
When do I start getting paid?
Comp starts the month the referred client goes active. Partnership referrals pay 5% every month the client stays. Project work pays 7% of the first project and agency white-label pays 7% of the first invoice, both one time. Either way, paid within 15 days of client payment.
What if the client cancels after a month?
You earned that month. No clawbacks. If they come back later, your comp resumes. If they don't, you still got paid for the months they were active.
Do I need to sell anything?
No. You make the introduction. We handle the pitch, the onboarding, the work, and the relationship. If they're not a fit, we tell them honestly. Your name stays clean either way.
Is there a minimum number of referrals?
No quotas. One referral a year or ten a month. The program exists because good introductions are worth compensating, not because we need volume.
What counts as a 'new' client?
Someone who hasn't worked with Style Driven before. If they're already in our system, we'll let you know. No surprises.
Can I refer agencies too?
Yes. Agency white-label and RFP partnerships earn 7% of the first invoice, one time. A different structure than a partnership referral, which pays 5% monthly, but still worth making the intro.
How do I track my referrals and earnings?
Monthly email update with status on every referred client, their activity, and your earnings. We're building a partner dashboard too, but the transparency starts day one.
Free money for introductions.
No application. No onboarding deck. No quota. Just a conversation about whether this makes sense for both of us.
