"So… who do you actually recommend for marketing?"
If you're an accountant, a Shopify developer, a 3PL operator, or a business coach who works with eCommerce founders, you've had this conversation. Your client is frustrated. Their ads aren't working. Revenue is stuck. They're asking you for a recommendation, because they trust you more than the next agency pitching them on Instagram.
And you either don't have a good answer, or the agency you used to recommend burned one of your clients and now you don't recommend anyone. So the conversation stalls, the client figures it out themselves, and the relationship gets a little weaker.
We don't ask you to sell for us, learn our methodology, or touch a single deliverable. We ask one thing: when you come across an eCommerce founder who's ready to invest in growth, send them our way. We'll handle the rest.
And for partners whose audience is a strong fit? We talk real revenue share on signed clients, properly tracked and paid out monthly.
The conversation we hear about weekly
The advisors eCommerce founders already trust.
The best partnerships happen when the audience is already shared and the services complement, not compete.
Accountants & Bookkeepers
You see your clients' P&L intimately. You know who's ready to invest in growth, who's leaving money on the table, and who needs the financial clarity a growth program brings. A referral from you is gold — it's already pre-qualified on the numbers.
Shopify Agencies & Web Devs
You build the store. We fill it with customers. Zero channel conflict, zero overlap. The moment your client asks "OK, how do we actually get customers now?" — that's the handoff point, and that's where most agency relationships quietly break down without a partner like us.
3PL, Freight & Fulfilment
You see order volumes every day. You know which clients are growing fast and which ones are about to step on the accelerator. A client whose orders are scaling needs a marketing system to match — and sending them to SSO means more orders, which is good for everyone.
Business Coaches & Consultants
You work on founder mindset, strategy, and operations. We execute the marketing and growth system. Many of the coaches we partner with use SSO as the delivery arm their program doesn't cover, so their clients actually implement what they've been coached on.
Also partnering with: SaaS platforms (Klaviyo, Shopify, Gorgias), PR & brand agencies, industry networks, and finance brokers. If your audience is Australian eCommerce founders, we probably want to talk.
Three steps. No admin. That's it.
We designed the partnership to be as frictionless as humanly possible.
Identify the right client
Use the Ideal Client Profile in your Partner Info Pack. If the founder matches, they're worth referring. When in doubt, send a quick question our way first — we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Make the introduction
A one-line warm email to your dedicated SSO contact is enough. No briefing docs, no paperwork, no scripts. "Meet John at Sales Savvy Online, worth a chat" is literally all it takes.
We take it from here
SSO reaches out within 24 hours, runs our own qualification call, and looks after the client the way we'd want someone to look after a trusted referral of ours. You get a brief update on the outcome.
That's the whole program. If the client signs with SSO, you've helped a client you care about solve a problem you couldn't. If they don't, you still look good for making a thoughtful introduction — and no bridges get burned.
Everything you need to refer with confidence.
A partnership is only useful if it actually helps you do your job better.
Revenue share on signed clients
Refer a client who signs, get paid a meaningful monthly share for the life of their engagement. Tracked automatically, paid on the same day every month, no chasing invoices.
Two-way referrals
Our 200+ clients regularly need accountants, developers, fulfilment partners, coaches, and CRO teams. Strategic partners get actively referred back in. A proper relationship, not a one-way intro.
A direct human contact
One real person at SSO owns every referral you send us. No inbox roulette, no "I'll get back to you", no ticket numbers. Call, text, or email and you'll hear back same day.
Honest updates, every referral
You'll always know what happened to the people you send us — whether they signed, whether they walked, and why. You're never left wondering.
The Partner Info Pack
Professionally produced PDF with who we help, what we deliver, and exactly what to say when the moment comes. Read once, keep handy.
Ready-to-send intro template
Pre-written warm intro you can forward or adapt for any client. Plus a one-page Ideal Client Profile so every referral lands in the right lap.
The Validation Sprint.
Every referral gets offered our entry point first: a 4‑week, low‑commitment pilot that proves the model works on real data before anyone signs a long contract.
4 weeks. Real data. An honest answer.
Your client gets a short, paid pilot that tests whether SSO is actually the right fit. No lock-in, no long commitment, no pressure. At the end: either we've proven we can deliver, or they walk away with clarity and no regrets.
Clear outcome.
Who to send our way (and who not to).
Being specific about fit protects your reputation as much as ours.
When you refer a client to us, here's exactly what we'll do.
Not in the small print. Not in a vague partnership agreement. Right here, where everyone can see it.
Real clients. Real results.
Not cherry-picked. Not embellished.
When a founder commits to the program, this is the kind of outcome we deliver. These are three brands your referral could become.
Stalled at a growth ceiling despite consistent ad spend. SSO rebuilt the email system, overhauled the ad strategy, and fixed the retention model. Revenue tripled without tripling the ad budget.
Started from zero with no paid marketing history. SSO built the full growth system from the ground up. By month 12, a self-sustaining growth engine was running.
Didn't want to run paid ads. SSO built organic acquisition, email flows, and a retention engine from scratch. Reached profitability through email and social alone.
"What's this actually worth to me?"
Fair question. Most referral programs sound nice until you do the maths. Plug in how many clients fit the profile in your book and the calculator shows exact dollar figures — including what a referral is worth and what ten a year looks like.
No email required. No sales pitch. Just real numbers.
The things partners ask us before they sign.
Honest answers to the questions we get on every first call.
What's in it for me?
<p>Three things, in order of importance:</p><p><strong>1. Your reputation improves.</strong> A good referral is one of the most valuable things a trusted advisor can give a client. Every referral that lands well compounds your standing over time.</p><p><strong>2. Real revenue for strategic partners.</strong> If your book is a fit, we pay a meaningful monthly revenue share on every signed client, for the life of the engagement.</p><p><strong>3. Two-way referrals.</strong> We actively send our 200+ clients back to our partners: accountants, developers, 3PLs, coaches, CRO teams. You don't just give value — you receive it.</p>
Do you pay a commission?
<p>Short answer: <strong>yes, for strategic partners.</strong> We pay a meaningful monthly revenue share on every signed client, tracked automatically, paid same day every month, for the life of the engagement. No chasing invoices.</p><p>Strategic partner tier is based on fit, not favouritism: accountants with a large eCommerce client base, Shopify agencies handing over stores weekly, 3PLs serving hundreds of brands, coaches with a deep eCommerce founder audience.</p><p>For casual referral partners, the benefit is still real: direct contact, honest updates, two-way referrals, and your clients getting a growth team that won't embarrass your recommendation.</p>
My clients are mostly small (or brand new) — does this still work?
<p>Yes. <strong>We work with brand new businesses that haven't sold a thing yet, all the way up to established brands doing $5M+ a year.</strong> Our sweet spot is founders from $0 to around $5M in revenue who are serious about building a real business.</p><p>For a brand-new business, the Validation Sprint is purpose-built: we validate the offer, the audience, and the economics before anyone spends big on ads.</p><p>Even one good referral a year is meaningful — and it's zero work on your end once you've made the intro.</p>
I already refer clients to another agency. Is that a problem?
<p>No problem at all — and we'd never ask you to switch on faith. If your current arrangement serves your clients well, stick with it. The only reason to send someone to SSO is if you genuinely believe we're the right fit for <em>them</em>.</p><p>Most of our partners work with multiple growth teams across different client needs. We're comfortable being the one you think of for eCommerce specifically.</p>
I don't want to put my name behind something I don't know well.
<p>That's exactly the right instinct, and we respect it. What we'd suggest: book a short intro call, read through the Partner Info Pack, and look at our client results. Then, if you ever come across a client where a referral seems relevant, reach out to us first — we'll tell you honestly whether we think we can help them before you make any recommendation.</p><p>Nothing about this program requires you to commit to anything you haven't tested.</p>
How long does it take to "onboard" as a partner?
<p>Genuinely short. A 20-minute intro call, a Partner Info Pack sent to your inbox, a direct contact assigned to you. That's it. You're a partner. No training program to complete, no certification, no multi-week setup.</p>
What happens to a client I refer if it's not the right fit?
<p>We tell them honestly, and we tell you honestly. If a founder you refer isn't the right fit for SSO, we'll have a respectful conversation with them about it, point them toward something more appropriate where we can, and update you with what happened.</p><p>Protecting your reputation matters more to us than squeezing one more signup out of a bad fit.</p>
A real answer when the conversation comes up. And real revenue when the referral converts.
20 minutes. One call. You'll leave with the Partner Info Pack, the Ideal Client Profile, and a direct contact at SSO.
We take on a limited number of new clients each month. Every engagement gets the same senior team, the same depth, and the same honesty.
