You get paid for
every part you do.
Not a flat commission. The work of winning and keeping a client splits into four pieces, each worth its own percentage — do one, get one; do all four, get more than half of everything that client ever pays. Ownership comes later, and it is earned rather than granted.
What we sell
A website and local-search rebuild for trade businesses, on a monthly subscription
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, remodelers. Their work is good and their reviews are real — nobody outside their referral circle can find them. We run a twelve-category inspection that scores exactly how invisible they are, rebuild the site and their Google presence, and re-run the same inspection on day thirty so they see the number move before they pay anything.
$197, $397 or $697 a month with no contract term — the client can cancel any month — plus optional add-ons. The first month is charged at signing, with an unconditional thirty-day money-back guarantee. On day thirty they get the same twelve-category inspection re-run and sent to them, so they can see what moved — but that report is not a condition on the refund. If they want their money back inside thirty days, they get it.
The split
Every percentage below is of what the client actually pays — collected revenue, not invoiced. Nothing pays out until their first real payment clears on day thirty.
| The part | What it means | Your share |
|---|---|---|
| Sourced | You found them and they passed the six qualification checks | 25%of months 1–3 |
| Closed | You made the calls, ran the meeting and got the signature | 35%of months 1–6 |
| Built | You did the build — site, Google profile, the twelve categories closed | one‑time feeon go-live |
| Managed | You run it after launch — content, reporting, support, the day-30 re-inspection | 12%every month you run it |
| Owned | The client is yours — the relationship, the escalations, your name on it | 21%of months 1–24 |
| All five | You own that client end to end | $5,225.69on a $397 client, over 24 months |
The build is paid as a one-time fee, on go-live: $475 on the $197 plan, $950 on the $397, $1,675 on the $697.
These are within a few dollars of what the old 10%-over-24-months came to — within $2.20 on the $197 and $697 plans, and $2.80 under it on the $397. What really changes is when. A build is one job, done once, and it used to be paid out in slivers over two years: if the client cancelled in month three you had built the whole site and been paid $119 of it. Now the money arrives when the work does, and a bigger plan pays a bigger fee because it is a bigger build.
Nobody is paid for work somebody else did, and nobody loses out because somebody else helped. That is the whole point of splitting it into four — you earn every part you actually do, and none of the parts you don’t.
You earn on clients you bring in. Titan runs its own appointment setters on its own list, and those bookings go to Titan’s closer — they are not partner clients and no percentage here attaches to them.
That is not us keeping the good ones. It is arithmetic: Titan’s setters are paid 25% of a client’s first three months for booking the meeting. Add a partner’s 35% for closing, 21% for owning and 12% for managing on top of that, and those first three months pay out 93% of what the client pays — and the build fee lands in the same window — there is nothing left to run the client with, and the build gets paid for out of the same three months.
So if a Titan-sourced appointment is ever handed to you, the split is agreed in writing before you take the call, not assumed from this table. One client’s revenue will not carry two sales costs, and pretending otherwise is how a partnership discovers a problem in month four instead of on day one.
You earn on the clients you work. Not on the company.
I am hiring my own callers and setters, and I will be closing and running clients myself. You earn nothing on those — no override, no cut of the business, no percentage of what my side brings in. Equally, nobody takes a cut of yours.
This is the line that ends partnerships two years in when it was left vague, so it is here in the third paragraph rather than in a footnote.
What that is worth
On the middle plan at $397 a month, before add-ons. Per client, across the whole time that client pays you — not per month.
over 24 months
Ten clients you close and hand over is $8,337.00. Ten clients you own end to end is $52,256.90 across two years — and the managed share keeps arriving whether or not you sell anything that month, which is the difference between a commission and a business.
That is arithmetic, not a forecast. Ten clients is a number chosen to make the multiplication legible, not a number anybody has hit. Titan Reach has not closed enough clients to know how many conversations make one signing, so nobody can tell you how long ten would take — including us. Your first weeks may pay nothing at all.
How long it pays
Sourced pays across the client’s first three months and Closed across their first six, then each stops. Both are one-time acts, paid at a higher rate over a shorter window rather than a thin sliver over two years — the money arrives while you can still feel you earned it.
Owned pays for 24 months per client and then stops. That is the part that is genuinely yours: the relationship, the escalations, and your name being on it.
Built is paid once, on go-live, and nothing afterwards changes it. If the client cancels in month two you keep the whole fee — you built the whole site.
Read that as a ceiling, not a promise. Clients sign with no contract term and can cancel any month, and every percentage here is of what they actually pay. Twenty-four months is how long a client you brought in can keep paying you — not how long they are obliged to stay.
Managed is ongoing work, so it pays for as long as you are doing it — no cap, no end date. If you are still running that client in year four, you are still being paid 12% of what they pay.
Managed is deliberately the thinnest rate per hour on this page, and that is not an accident. Every business that lets one person both sell and service watches the selling quietly stop — servicing has a client waiting and a deadline, prospecting has neither. The rates are set so the next call is always worth more than the next ticket.
Your rate on a client is fixed the day they sign. It never goes down because somebody else joined, because we hired setters, or because the business grew. What you agreed is what you get, for that client, for the whole term.
What ends it, and what does not
Nothing about other people joining affects you. More partners, more setters, a bigger team — your percentages are per client and they are fixed at signing.
If you stop selling or step away: Sourced and Closed keep paying to the end of their 24 months on every client you already brought in, and any build fee you have earned is already yours. You earned those and they are not taken back.
Managed stops when you stop managing. That one is pay for work being done now, so it moves to whoever picks the work up. That is the only percentage that can leave you, and only by you putting the work down.
This is a commission agreement, not ownership. Everything above is a share of revenue on clients you work. It is not equity, not a stake in Southeastern Renovation LLC, and it does not carry a vote or a share of the company's value if it is ever sold.
I am saying that clearly because “partner” is a word that means two different things, and the version where we each assumed the other meaning is the version that ends badly.
And the road to the other kind of partner
Ownership is not off the table — it is just not the starting point. It is something to be earned and then negotiated properly, with a lawyer on each side, rather than promised in a document like this one.
The point where we sit down and have that conversation:
- Twelve clients closed, and
- at least nine of them still paying at month six — because bringing them in is half of it, and keeping them is the half that builds a company, and
- you are running clients end to end, not only closing them.
Hit that and you have built something real, not had a good quarter. At that point what you are worth is obvious to both of us and the conversation is easy.
What this is: a commitment to have the conversation on those terms, and to have it seriously. What it is not: a commitment to a number, a percentage, or a yes. Anything else would be me promising away something I would have to take back.
What you are handed on day one
- The inspection instrument. Twelve scored categories, run against any prospect's live site in about twenty minutes. This is the thing that opens the door and it is not something a competitor can buy.
- A built proposal page per prospect — interactive pricing, add-ons they can choose themselves, and a signature that holds up.
- The card-on-file and billing system. Stripe, already wired. You never touch a card number.
- The call training — a live voice drill with a different contractor answering every time, scored on nine criteria, and a roadblock sheet for every objection a trade business actually gives you.
- The licence. CLG.127339. You are calling as part of a licensed South Carolina contracting company, not a marketing agency. That is the single biggest reason these calls get answered.
What is expected
- Nobody dials a real number until they have cleared the drill three times at 85 or better. There are only about twenty qualified names a week and a bad first call burns that prospect permanently.
- Manual dialling only. No autodialler, no AI voice, no ringless voicemail, no cold texting. Business hours, identify yourself in the first sentence, and honour “don’t call me again” permanently, the first time.
- Never promise a Google ranking. Nobody can, and one overpromise poisons everything else you said.
- Say the guarantee plainly, and never add a condition to it. Thirty days, every dollar back, any reason. Do not say "if we don't get results" or "as long as you gave us a fair go" — inventing a condition is both a lie and, under FTC rules on money-back guarantees, a real problem. And it is the honest version anyway: a refund we issue costs us a processing fee, while a client who feels trapped and calls their bank costs us the Stripe account.
