Question 1

What is Referrers?

Accepted Answer

Referrers is a private partner network where agencies, studios and service providers win warm, pre-qualified client intros from peers who already serve their ICP, lock in white-label & sub-agency partnerships that send recurring monthly work, and earn a 10% bonus on the wrong-fit leads they refer out.

Question 2

How does this actually bring me more clients?

Accepted Answer

Two ways. First, you receive warm, pre-qualified intros from agencies who already serve your dream clients — they hand over the brief, you walk in trusted. Second, you lock in white-label and sub-agency partnerships where one trusted partner sends you pre-scoped clients every month, for years. That's the real client stream.

Question 3

Who is Referrers for?

Accepted Answer

Agency owners, founders and partnerships leads at marketing, design, dev, creative and B2B service firms — from solo consultants to 50-person shops. Anyone whose growth depends on a more predictable client pipeline they can't always control.

Question 4

Is it really free to join?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Joining, exploring the partner directory, white-label & sub-agency matching, and starting warm client intros costs nothing. No credit card, no trial timer.

Question 5

How do white-label and sub-agency partnerships work?

Accepted Answer

You find a partner agency in an adjacent discipline who serves your ICP, agree retainer-shaped terms once (scope, margin, turnaround) in the shared workspace, and become their go-to specialist for that work — or vice versa. Every client they land that fits your lane gets handed to you, pre-sold. Most members lock in 2–3 of these relationships in their first quarter — worth $15k–$60k per partner, per year.

Question 6

Can I white-label the work?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's the core play. Find a partner in an adjacent discipline, agree the arrangement (white-label vs. direct intro) once, and they start sending pre-scoped clients monthly. Many agencies use Referrers exactly this way to expand scope without hiring.

Question 7

How do you prevent conflict of interest?

Accepted Answer

You pick partners only from adjacent disciplines that don't overlap your service line — direct competitors never see your client list. You also control visibility (hide your book, decline anything that overlaps, choose which categories you exchange with).

Question 8

How do NDAs and contracts work?

Accepted Answer

The shared workspace includes MSAs, NDAs and scope templates you can use. You handle the legal directly with your partner — Referrers provides the introduction and tracking layer.

Question 9

What if a lead isn't a fit for me?

Accepted Answer

Refer it out — that's how the loop forms. The same partner you hand wrong-fit work to is the one who'll start sending pre-scoped clients back your way. Givers eat first.

Question 10

Do I have to send referrals to receive client intros?

Accepted Answer

No strict quota. But the network compounds: the more wrong-fit leads you refer to trusted partners, the more pre-scoped client work (and white-label retainers) they send back. Reciprocity is the engine.

Question 11

What if a partner declines a match?

Accepted Answer

We route it to the next best-fit operator in the network. You don't lift a finger after the one-minute submit.

Question 12

How does the 10% commission work?

Accepted Answer

Bonus upside — not the main pitch. When you refer out a wrong-fit lead and the partner closes it, the network default is a fixed 10% paid by the service provider out of their invoice. The client is never charged, and you (the referrer) never pay anything. It turns dead leads into a small extra revenue line on top of the client and partnership work.

Question 13

Who pays the referral fee?

Accepted Answer

The service provider who closed the deal — out of their own invoice. The client is never charged extra, and you (the referrer) never pay anything to participate.

Question 14

Does Referrers handle payments between members?

Accepted Answer

No. We connect you and track the deal. Any commissions or project payments are settled directly between members.

Question 15

How do you keep the network high-quality?

Accepted Answer

We vet every agency that joins. No anonymous profiles, no cold-callers, no bottom-feeders. We look for established service providers with real portfolios and a track record of delivering.

Question 16

What happens if a partner doesn't deliver?

Accepted Answer

Reputation follows every referral — members give and receive feedback after each intro. If a member repeatedly fails to follow through or misses deadlines, they're removed.

Question 17

Can my whole agency team join?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multi-seat is available so your founder, BD lead, and PMs can all be in the right rooms — no shared logins.
