The partner guide.
Everything you need as an AD90 referral partner, kept short on purpose. Who to introduce, how to do it, what happens next and how you get paid.
01
Who is a good fit
- The person who owns the brand or the budget. Founders, CMOs, heads of marketing, or whoever signs off on how the company looks and sounds.
- A company at a turning point. About to launch, raise, rebrand or rebuild the website, or simply outgrown how it shows up.
- What we do for them. Branding and identity, websites, campaigns and creative, and ongoing marketing.
- Probably not a fit. Someone shopping only on price, or looking for a quick one-off fix.
02
How to make the intro
- Ask them first. Tell them you want to connect them with AD90 for a relaxed 45 minute call. No pitch deck, no pressure.
- Use your personal link. It is in your welcome email. Enter their name, company and email, add anyone else who should be there, and pick a time. Your agreement is already on file.
- They get the invite right away. You are on it too. Join if you like, or let us take it from there.
- One line of context helps. What they are working on and why you thought of us. Add it in the notes when you book.
03
What happens after the call
- We do the rest. The follow up, the proposal, the closing and the work.
- We keep you posted. You will hear from us when it moves: after the call, when a proposal goes out, and when they sign.
- Nothing to chase. You never have to sell, follow up or manage anything.
04
How and when you get paid
- 20% of the deal. Of the fees we collect under their first signed agreement.
- Within 30 days of each payment. If they pay us in installments, you get paid in installments.
- Before your first payout we will ask for a W-9 and how you would like to be paid.
- An introduction counts for 12 months. If they sign with us within a year of your intro, it is yours.
