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.
Five partnership clients on the opening rate is $1,250 a month, every month they stay. Figures use the $5K opening rate. From month four the partnership is $10K, so every number here doubles.
1 client$250/mo$3,000/yr

5 clients$1,250/mo$15,000/yr

Who Fits
Know the signals.
The referral is easy when you know what to listen for.
01They post inconsistently or their social presence doesn't match the quality of their business.
02They're using Canva, a nephew, or a rotating door of freelancers and it shows.
03They just opened, rebranded, or expanded and need to look the part.
04They're hiring a marketing coordinator or creative director and burning $60K+ on salary.
05They're an agency that keeps hitting capacity walls on deadline weeks.
How It Works
Four steps. Zero effort.
01You make the intro.
Email, text, or a warm handoff. Whatever feels natural. Connect us and let us know they're coming.
02We take it from there.
We handle the conversation, the pitch, the onboarding, and all the work. You're not managing anything.
03They sign. You get paid.
Partnership referrals pay every month the client stays. One-time fees pay once the job wraps and the final payment clears.
04We 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 & consultantsBusiness coaches & fractional CMOsCommercial real estate agentsEvent planners & PR professionalsWeb developers who don't do designAccountants & attorneys who advise SMBsPrint 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.
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.
Recurring fees: within 15 days of each monthly client payment. One-time fees: within 15 days of the final payment on the job, not the deposit.
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.
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.
No quotas. One referral a year or ten a month. The program exists because good introductions are worth compensating, not because we need volume.
Someone who hasn't worked with Style Driven before. If they're already in our system, we'll let you know. No surprises.
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.
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.
