Your client's bottleneck gets fixed without you stretching outside your lane, and you get credit for solving it.
For advisors
The Operator Network
Revenue share for the advisors founders already trust.
You're in the room when a founder admits the business runs on them. You're the CFO watching them approve every invoice, the attorney watching diligence stall on missing SOPs, the coach watching the same rock roll back every quarter. Fixing it isn't your lane; it's mine. Send them my way, and get paid on the engagement every month for a year.
Why peers refer here
Your client wins, and so do you.
You stay the trusted advisor. I never go around you, I keep you in the loop, and I send work back when your lane comes up.
This pays like recurring revenue, not a one-time spiff. A $4,500/month retainer earns you $450 every month for 12 months; that's $5,400 for one introduction.
What you earn
Paid on collected revenue.
| You refer | You earn |
|---|---|
| Fractional Ops retainer | 10% of collected monthly revenue, for 12 months from the client's first payment |
| Operations Diagnostic ($2,500+) | 10% one-time, paid on collection |
| Recruiting placement | 10% of the placement fee, paid on collection |
| Diagnostic that converts to a retainer | 10% on the diagnostic, then 10% monthly for 12 months from the retainer start |
| Operator Partner tier | Send 3+ closed clients in a rolling 12 months and everything after the third pays 15% for 12 months, forward-looking |
The rules, in plain language
No fine print games.
- Every payout is calculated on collected revenue, never on booked or invoiced amounts.
- Register your referral before I've had first contact; your credit holds for 90 days. If two people register the same lead, first registration wins.
- Payouts go out monthly, net 15 after collection, with a statement showing exactly what was collected.
- You're an independent party, not an agent of WorkFractional; leave pricing and scope to me.
- If a referred client pauses and comes back within 6 months, your original 12-month clock resumes where it left off.
- If your professional rules restrict referral fees, we'll set up a reciprocal referral arrangement instead; you still get the client outcome and the relationship.
