Referral partner program
For independent consultants and boutique firms
The Sovereign referral partner program lets an independent consultant add an AI deployment offering to their practice without building, hosting, or supporting any of it. You keep the client relationship and your own advisory work. Prospectr deploys and operates the agent. In exchange you get four things: visibility in front of buyers who are already asking about AI, a new website built and maintained to be found by search engines and cited by AI assistants, co-marketing you did not have to produce, and revenue share on the engagements you introduce.
The pitch is not "resell our software." It is that the recommendation your clients keep asking you for now has a real answer behind it, and that answer does not require you to become an infrastructure company.
The situation
Your clients are asking you about AI and you are answering carefully.
Independent consultants are in an uncomfortable spot right now. Clients ask what they should be doing about AI. The honest answer requires an implementation partner, and most implementation partners either want to own the relationship or cannot actually ship. So the safe move is to stay generic, and generic advice is exactly what a language model is best at giving away free.
- - You are being asked a question your practice cannot currently deliver on.
- - Recommending a vendor who then owns the client is a bad trade you have probably already made once.
- - Building the capability yourself means becoming an infrastructure and support business, which is not why you went independent.
- - Meanwhile the thing that actually wins you work, being visible and being trusted, is getting harder because buyers now ask an AI first.
The offer
Four things you get, stated plainly.
Visibility
You get placed in front of buyers who are already in motion. That means inclusion in the partner directory, named attribution on work you were part of, and inclusion in the outbound and content motion Prospectr already runs. Visibility here is not a badge on a page. It is being the name attached to a real deployment.
A new website, built to be found and cited
Most independent consultants have a site that was good enough five years ago and is invisible to an AI answer engine today. You get a rebuilt site structured for both classic search and answer engines: answer-first content, entity and schema markup, FAQ blocks that are machine-quotable, and a publishing cadence that keeps it fresh. Built and maintained, not handed to you as a template. [TRAVIS: confirm website scope and whether it is included at all tiers or earned at a referral threshold]
Co-marketing
Joint content, case studies on the deployments you brought in, named authorship so the credit follows you, and a standing publishing rhythm on the channels that actually move B2B trust. You supply the point of view. The production, the scheduling and the distribution are handled.
Revenue share
You are paid 10 percent of the engagements that come from your introductions, tracked against your partner identifier. That is the current partner terms figure. This is not a finder fee handshake. It is attributed and it is written down.
The trade
What you give, what you get.
What you give
- - Introductions where you genuinely believe there is a fit.
- - Enough context on the client that the first conversation is not a discovery call from zero.
- - An honest introduction. Not a list dump, a real handoff where you say why you think it fits.
- - Your judgment on fit. Turning down a bad fit protects your relationship and ours.
What you get
- + A referral partner identifier so every introduction is attributed.
- + An AEO and SEO structured website, built and maintained. [TRAVIS: confirm scope]
- + Co-marketing production: case studies, joint content, named authorship.
- + 10 percent revenue share on closed engagements, current partner terms.
- + Direct access to the person doing the deployment, not a partner portal.
How it runs
Five steps, no partner portal.
Conversation
Thirty minutes to figure out whether your practice and this actually fit. Some do not, and we will say so.
Onboarding
You get your partner identifier, the website work kicks off, and you get walked through what Sovereign actually does so you can speak to it honestly.
First introduction
You make an introduction. We run discovery with you in the room, not around you.
Deployment
Prospectr deploys and operates. You stay in the relationship and keep doing your advisory work.
Co-marketing
The deployment becomes a case study with your name on it, which feeds the next introduction.
Questions independent consultants ask
What is the Sovereign referral partner program for consultants?
It is a partnership where an independent consultant introduces clients who need AI deployment work, and Prospectr deploys and operates the agent while the consultant keeps the client relationship and their own advisory scope. The consultant receives visibility, a rebuilt AEO and SEO optimized website, co-marketing production, and revenue share on closed engagements.
Do I need to change what I already sell?
No. The program is additive. Your existing advisory work is unchanged. What changes is that when a client asks what to do about AI, you have a specific answer and a partner who ships rather than a general recommendation.
How is this different from a standard reseller agreement?
A reseller agreement usually asks you to carry quota, learn a product, and take on support burden in exchange for a margin. This asks for an introduction and your judgment on fit. The deployment and support burden stays with Prospectr, and the non-financial benefits, the website and the co-marketing, are delivered whether or not any given referral closes.
What does the referral partner program cost to join?
Nothing. There is no fee, no minimum volume, and no exclusivity requirement to become a Sovereign referral partner. The program is designed so that partners who never send a single referral still keep the visibility and website benefits they earned during onboarding.
How does the revenue share work?
Referral partners earn a 10 percent revenue share on closed engagements that originate from your introduction, tracked against your partner identifier. That is the current partner terms figure. The payment schedule and the attribution window are set out in the partner agreement.
Do I have to be technical to deploy Sovereign for a client?
No. Partners fall into two lanes. Refer means you make the introduction and Prospectr does the deployment and the ongoing operation. Deploy means you want Sovereign inside your own practice as part of what you sell, and we train and support you to run it. Most partners start in the refer lane and move over once they have seen a deployment land.
Will you go around me and sell directly to my client?
No. Your introduction is attributed to you and the relationship stays yours. If a client you introduced expands into work you also do, that is your work, not ours. The specific non-circumvention language lives in the partner agreement. [TRAVIS: confirm non-circumvention terms]
What happens if a referral does not close?
Nothing negative. There is no penalty, no clawback, and no impact on the visibility or website benefits you have. A referral that does not close still tells us something about fit, which makes the next one better.
Start with a conversation.
Thirty minutes to find out whether this fits your practice. If it does not, we will tell you that instead of running you through a pipeline.
