What this program is

• Local advocates (1099 partners) who introduce qualified orgs with WordPress sites.
• Lite model: partners generate conversations; Ameen runs discovery, proposals, and delivery.
• Simple rewards: per-qualified-lead + per-closed-win bonuses.

Compliance & conduct

• Obey “No Soliciting” and local rules; get opt-in consent for intros.
• No claims about SLAs/pricing beyond approved one-pagers.
• Protect privacy; no recording without notice; use Ameen intake form/links.
• Conflict-of-interest disclosure; W-9 and 1099 for payouts; follow our brand guide.

Who does what

• Field Partner: surfaces leads, warms intros, submits form with consent.
• Street Team Lead: trains partners, checks quality, weekly roll-ups.
• Sales (Ameen): discovery calls, proposals, SoW, close.
• Ops (Ameen): onboarding if won; reports back outcomes.

Who qualifies

• Local connectors (agencies, freelancers, chamber members, IT shops).
• Good reputation; can follow a simple rubric; agrees to code-of-conduct.
• Has a network of businesses using WordPress (or could verify quickly).

Recommended structure

• Qualified Lead (QL) bonus: $50 per QL meeting rubric (see “Qualification”).
• Closed-Won bonus: either $300 / $500 / $800 for Core / Growth / Premium or 10% of first-year hosting/ops revenue (pick one model).
• SPIFFs: +$100 for target verticals or quarter-focus offers.
• Payment timing: QL after discovery held; Win bonus after first payment clears.

To keep payouts healthy

• Duplicate leads: first valid submission owns it for 60 days.
• Cap: up to 5 QL bonuses/day/partner without prior approval.
• 3-strike rule on non-qualified intros → retraining required.

Qualified Lead (must meet ALL)

• Website on WordPress (or confirmed migrating to WP).
• Site is mission-critical (sales, donations, members, bookings).
• Pain acknowledged: speed, uptime, security, or support.
• Decision-maker engaged and agrees to a discovery call.
• Timeline ≤ 90 days to make a change or improve.
• Budget consistent with our tiers (Core/Growth/Premium).
• Consent to share contact and intro email.

Don’t submit

• No website owner or decision path.
• DIY sites with no budget or urgency.
• Non-WP platforms where ops value is minimal.

Daily Play (street team)

• Visit 10–15 businesses or community contacts; keep it friendly, not salesy.
• Ask a short needs question; if interested, book a discovery on the spot or collect consent to intro via email.
• Submit the lead using your tracking link (see “Tracking & Calc”).
• End-of-day: log outcomes; flag hot leads to Street Team Lead.

Basics

• Respect “No Soliciting” signage and private property rules.
• Preferred zones: business districts, chambers, meetups, and partner agencies.
• Work daylight hours; pair up for new areas; wear neutral, branded attire.
