The awkward conversation
So who do you actually recommend for marketing?
Accountants, Shopify developers, 3PLs and coaches get asked this every week. Most of the time the honest answer is “let me ask around.”
Client: Our ads are not working. We are spending and nothing converts. Do you know anyone who actually gets ecommerce?
You: Hmm, I can ask around. There are a few people I could check with.
Client: Our ads are not working. We are spending and nothing converts. Do you know anyone who actually gets ecommerce?
You: Talk to Sales Savvy Online. Ecommerce is all they do. They start with a four-week Sprint, so you are not locked in. I will introduce you.
Who we partner with
The people founders already trust
-
Accountants and bookkeepers
Financial advisers to ecommerce founders
Your clients ask for growth advice you cannot give. We start with margins and cash, so our work lines up with the financial lens you already bring.
-
Shopify agencies and web developers
Store builders and developers
You build the store. We make it earn. No channel conflict and no overlap with the work you do.
-
3PL, freight and fulfilment
Logistics and fulfilment operators
When your clients grow, they ship more orders. More orders are more revenue for you.
-
Business coaches and consultants
Founder coaches and strategists
You coach the founder. We run the growth work. Your programme gets a delivery partner it can point to.
We also partner with software platforms, PR and brand agencies, industry networks and finance brokers.
How it works
Three steps. No admin.
-
Spot the right client
Use the Ideal Client Profile in your Partner Info Pack. If the founder matches it, they are worth an intro.
-
Make the introduction
One warm line to your SSO contact is enough, something like “Meet Sales Savvy Online, worth a chat.” No briefing documents, no paperwork, no scripts.
-
We take it from here
We reach out within 24 hours, run our own qualification call and look after the client from there. You get a short update on the outcome.

A ready-to-send intro
A warm intro you can forward or adapt for any client, plus a one-page Ideal Client Profile.
The easy first step to recommend
The front door
Your client gets a short, paid Sprint. If the business is new, it tests the model. If it already sells, it audits what is there. Either way they finish with a written plan they keep, and there is no long commitment.
How the Sprint worksThe Validation Sprint
Four weeks. Real data. An honest answer.
$4000 + GST
No lock-in. No hidden fees. A clear outcome.
The right referral
Who to send our way, and who not to
Send these
- Ecommerce or product businesses selling physical goods online
- From brand new, before the first sale, through to established brands doing $5M+ a year
- Running on Shopify or WooCommerce
- Based anywhere in Australia
- Founder-led, and the person you refer makes the decisions
- Frustrated that their marketing is not working, or ready to invest in growth
- Has the headspace to engage, not in crisis mode
Not the right fit
- Service businesses. We only work with product and ecommerce brands
- Side hustles or hobby brands with no intent to grow into a real business
- Anyone after a quick fix or guaranteed results in 30 days
- Large corporates or enterprise brands. We work with founder-led businesses
- Businesses that cannot afford to invest in growth right now
- Dropship-only models with no real brand or margin
Our promise

What is this actually worth to you?
Most referral programs sound nice until you do the maths. Put in how many clients in your book fit the profile and see what it adds up to.

Common questions
What partners ask us before they sign up
What is in it for me?
Three things. Your reputation, because a good referral is one of the most valuable things a trusted adviser can give a client. Revenue, because you are paid $500 for every Sprint you refer and up to $6,000 more for every client who goes on to a program. And referrals back, because our 200+ clients need accountants, developers, 3PLs and coaches too.
Do you pay a commission?
Yes, to every partner. $500 when a founder you introduce starts a Sprint, then $250 a month on Launch or $500 a month on Accelerate for each month of their 12-month program. Each payment is made the month after the client pays us. If a client stops paying or leaves early, payments for that client stop. Strategic partners, chosen on fit, also get referrals back from our 200+ clients: accountants with a large ecommerce client base, Shopify agencies handing over stores every week, 3PLs serving hundreds of brands, and coaches with a deep ecommerce founder audience.
My clients are mostly small or brand new. Does this still work?
Yes. We work with businesses that have not sold anything yet, right up to brands doing $5M+ a year. The sweet spot is founders from $0 to around $5M who are serious about building a real business.
I already refer clients to someone else. Is that a problem?
Not at all, and we would never ask you to switch on faith. If your current arrangement serves your clients well, keep it. Most partners work with more than one growth team. We are the one for ecommerce.
I do not want to put my name behind something I do not know well.
That is the right instinct. Read the Partner Info Pack and look at our client results. Then, when a client comes up where a referral makes sense, talk to us first.
How long does it take to become a partner?
One short form, the Partner Info Pack in your inbox and a direct contact assigned to you. That is it. No training programme, no certification, no multi-week setup.
What happens if a client I refer is not the right fit?
We tell them honestly and we tell you honestly. We have a respectful conversation with the founder, point them somewhere more suitable where we can, and let you know what happened.
