The Partner.io partner program

We run our partner program on Partner.io.

The directory on this page is our live widget. The signup form is our live widget. Every partner in it tracks leads and gets paid in the same portal we sell. We built it. We eat it.

The work

What implementation partners do

The 20% is for the work. On a client engagement this is what we expect you to own, in this order.

  1. Deploy and configure

    Build the client’s system around the way their business actually runs.

  2. Migrate data

    Move their existing partner data into Partner.io without losing any of it.

  3. Integrate systems

    Connect Partner.io to the rest of the tools the client already uses.

  4. Train users

    Get their team confident enough to run the program without you in the room.

The portal

The same portal our customers give their partners

You will be using the product before you sell a word of it.

  • Co-branded marketing assets

    Decks, one-pagers and campaign creative with your logo already on them.

  • Training and certification

    Learn the product properly, get certified, and show the badge on your own site.

  • Leads and deal registration

    Register a deal, see where it got to, and stop asking us for updates.

  • Tiers, commissions and payouts

    Commission, bonuses and spiffs calculated and paid where you track the deal.

The Partnerships Cartel

Life’s too short for shitty software.

A small group of partners who help shape how Partner.io is built. They get our unreleased features before anyone else, break them, tell us exactly what is wrong, and refer clients on top. Members are paid for that time and earn commission on their referrals.

There is no form. We invite people from the partner base once we have worked together for a while, so the way in is to register above and start.

Invitation only
FAQ

Questions

Something not covered here? Book a call and ask.

When does the $250 get paid?

Once the company you referred becomes a Partner.io client and has been through onboarding.

How much is a client actually worth?

A referral pays $250 flat. An implementation partner earns $250 plus 20% of what that client spends with us over 24 months. Seats are $79 each per month, so a ten seat client is worth around $4,000 to an implementation partner across those two years.

Can I be more than one kind of partner?

Not at the moment. Pick the track that covers most of what you would do with us.

Do I need to be a Partner.io customer?

No. You do not need to be a Partner.io client to be a partner.

How do people get into the Cartel?

By invitation, from partners we have already worked with. Register as a referral, implementation or technology partner first.
