Partner Program
Partner program
Your clients keep asking you about AI. Send them to me and keep the relationship.
You hold the trust with a $5M to $50M company. I run the diagnostic, build what it finds, and hand it back with documentation their team can run. You earn 20% of the Blueprint, plus 10% of retainer and build fees in the first 6 months.
I won't solicit anyone you introduce to move work away from you, while you're a partner and for 12 months after. It's in the terms you sign.
The problem this solves for you
A client asks what you think about AI. You have an opinion, probably about the chatbot they paid for and stopped using in March. What you don't have is an answer that ends with something built.
So you give free advice and it goes nowhere. Or you hand them to a firm that treats your client as its own lead. Or you say nothing, and someone else becomes the person they ask.
Each of those costs you something.
What I do
The AI Opportunity Blueprint™ is a 10-day operational diagnostic for $5M to $50M companies. It finds the workflows worth fixing, prices each one in hours and dollars, and names the ones to leave alone.
$5,000 flat. If I can't find 200 hours a year of removable work, each with a named mechanism and an implementation estimate, your client doesn't pay and keeps the document.
If they want the build, I do that too, inside the stack they already run, with error handling and an owner's manual. It's done when their team has run it for 30 days without me.
For companies under $5M there's a paid Half-Day Working Session: 8 to 10 seats, online or in person in Fort Wayne, $495 a seat. Attendees at $5M and up get the seat price credited toward a Blueprint booked within 90 days.
What you earn
When your client buys
You earn
A Half-Day Working Session seat
20% of the seat price, $99 at $495
The AI Opportunity Blueprint™
20% of the fee, $1,000 at $5,000. A seat fee you already earned on that client counts toward it
A Fractional Chief AI Officer retainer
10% of retainer fees collected in the first 6 months
A done-for-you build
10% of the initial project fee, excluding pass-through costs and monthly maintenance
Earnings aren't capped, and there's no exclusivity or minimum to hit. Send one client a year or ten.
If you also want to deliver part of an engagement, that work is paid under a written SOW agreed before it starts, on top of your referral fee. And if you'd like a reciprocal fee on clients I send you, ask and I'll add it to your terms.
Already have a signed agreement with me? It stays as written. These terms are for new partners.
How a referral counts
You get credit when:
You introduce the client in writing and copy [email protected], or
The client names you at intake, or
The client orders the Blueprint online through your partner link. The order date counts as the introduction.
Existing clients and companies already in conversation with me don't count. Not sure? Describe the company before you name it and I'll tell you. I confirm or decline credit in writing within 5 business days of the introduction.
You have 90 days from the introduction to a signed engagement. If your client attends a Half-Day session inside that window, the 90 days restart from the session date, once.
If two partners introduce the same company, the first written introduction gets the credit.
How you get paid
Fees are paid in USD on cash I've collected, after any credit, by the 15th of the month after the client's payment clears. I'll need a W-9 (W-8BEN outside the US) before the first payout.
If a client is refunded after I've paid you, that fee comes back. You don't earn a fee on your own company's purchases.
You'll get a status update on every referral at least monthly, plus the engagement value and payment status whenever you ask. I don't share cost or margin data.
Either of us can end the partnership with 30 days' written notice. Fees you've already earned survive it. Your agreement is with eMediaAI LLC.
What your client experiences
About 3 weeks from signature to the final presentation.
The week before.
Pre-work: one data pull from finance and 2 to 4 short Loom recordings of the tasks that hurt most.
Day 1.
Leadership intake. Goals, constraints, which departments are in scope, where it hurts.
Days 2 to 4.
Workflow and data review, with up to 6 staff interviews of 30 to 45 minutes and a 30-minute check-in on day 4. If they're within a day's drive of Fort Wayne, I spend one of those days on their floor.
Days 5 to 7.
Every opportunity scored on business value, complexity, data readiness, risk and adoption. Anything that saves less than 20% of the time gets recommended for elimination instead of a build.
Days 8 to 9.
A 60-minute workshop where leadership signs off on the priority list and the numbers, then the roadmap gets built: sequence, owners, governance, success measures.
Day 10.
A 90-minute presentation and a two-page board summary. You're welcome in the room.
Day 40.
One check-in call on what moved and what stalled.
The owner gives about 3 hours of meetings plus their own interview.
Before any of that, your client gets a free 20-minute fit review. Within 24 hours they get a one-page note naming the 2 or 3 workflows where AI would pay off first, whether they buy or not. Your introduction carries no risk to the relationship.
Why this won't embarrass you
I build what I recommend.
HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Make, Copilot Studio and Power Automate, Cloudflare Workers, Claude Code. I configure the trigger myself. I lead every engagement and review everything that ships; vetted contractors join larger builds under that review.
I turn work down.
I decline engagements meant to cut headcount. I won't build on a broken process or on a tool without a stable API. And if your client is a division whose corporate parent picks its tools, I'll say so on the fit review, because they couldn't act on the roadmap.
Governance comes first.
Data handling and human review get settled in the Blueprint, before anything is built.
The relationship stays yours.
I deliver as eMediaAI by default, because the Chief AI Officer credential is part of why the recommendation lands. If you'd rather it run under your brand, white-label delivery is scoped under its own SOW.
Who this works for
Fractional CFOs, COOs and CMOs. EOS implementers and Vistage chairs. Accounting and advisory firms. MSPs. ERP and CRM implementation partners. HR and people consultants. Agency owners whose clients have outgrown marketing-only help.
What you have in common: a trusted relationship with a $5M to $50M business that keeps asking you technical questions you'd rather not answer alone.
Who it doesn't fit
If you want a reseller margin on software or a lead list to work through, this program won't give you that. I take a small number of engagements at a time, and that limit is what keeps the work good.
Partner application
Apply
Tell me about your practice and the clients you serve. I review every application myself, usually within 2 business days.
Once I approve it, you'll get the partner terms to sign. Your partner link and a short note on making your first introduction follow as soon as they're signed.
Already talked with me? Say so in the form and I'll move you straight through.
Read the referral terms summary and the full partner terms before you apply.
