Earn with us or sell as us.
Two ways to work together. Send work our way and earn recurring commission, or run our team under your brand and keep the margin. Built for agencies, freelancers, consultants, and operators who already have the audience.
Two ways to partner
Pick the one that fits your model.You introduce us to a client. We close, deliver, and pay you a recurring share for as long as that client stays. Zero work after the intro, no client management on your end.
You own the client relationship and the brand. We deliver behind the scenes. You set the retail price, we charge wholesale. The margin between is yours.

The fine print before you commit.Is there a fee to join the partner programme?
No. No application fee, no annual fee, no platform fee. Partners earn from real client work, not from access.
How long does the referral commission keep paying?
For the lifetime of the client retainer. If they stay with us for three years, you earn for three years. If they cancel after four months, the commission stops with that final invoice. Some agencies cap referral commission at 12 months. We don't. The work of bringing in a great client is permanent, the reward should reflect that.
What if my referral talks to you, but signs up months later?
You're covered for 12 months from the date you introduce them. Even if they go quiet and come back the following year, they're still attributed to you. We track every intro in writing the moment it lands, so there's no ambiguity later.
Can I do both referral and white-label at the same time?
Yes. Plenty of partners refer clients who want to work with Softscotch directly, and white-label clients who want to stay under their agency's brand. We track each track separately in your dashboard.
How does white-label pricing actually work?
You get a wholesale rate card priced at 50% below our public retail pricing as standard, with deeper discount tiers unlocking at higher monthly volume. You set the retail price your clients pay. The difference is your margin. For example, a service we retail at $4,000 a month wholesales to you at $2,000, so you charge your client $4,000 and keep $2,000 every month they stay.
Will my white-label clients ever find out Softscotch is behind it?
Not from us. Mutual NDA is signed before any client work. Reports, decks, dashboards, email footers, ad accounts, everything goes out under your brand. Our team uses your email domain on shared comms. The only way they find out is if you tell them. Some partners do, some don't. Either is fine.
What stops me from poaching the Softscotch team after onboarding them to my client?
The partner agreement includes a standard non-solicit clause covering 18 months after the partnership ends. The relationship works because both sides stay in their lane. Trying to poach the delivery team usually destroys trust faster than it saves a few thousand a month.
What if a referral I send is already in your CRM?
If we've spoken to them in the last 60 days, we let you know within 24 hours and the referral isn't credited. If they were a contact who went cold and you re-engage them, the referral is credited to you. We always show you the timeline before deciding.
Can I refer clients in industries you don't serve?
Best to ask first. We won't take on gambling, adult, MLM, crypto promotion, or anything illegal in the client's market. Everything else is fair game.
What happens if the partnership doesn't work out?
Either side can exit the partner agreement with 30 days notice. Any in-flight client work continues until the next natural break point, with commissions or wholesale terms honoured until that client offboards.
Do you do co-branded webinars, content, or events with partners?
Yes, for referral partners. Co-hosted webinars, joint case studies, guest content swaps, and small in-person events when there's a geographic fit. We agree the plan on the onboarding call.
How do I track my earnings?
You get a live Notion or Sheets dashboard showing every referral, their status, monthly recurring earnings, and the next payout date. It updates the moment a client pays. No hunting through emails, no waiting for monthly statements.
