Manager · Managed service

We are your affiliate manager.

Skip the hire. Manager fully outsources your affiliate program — recruiting, activation, optimization, and reporting — so you don't need marketing staff dedicated to the channel.

Trusted by teams like B&H Photo Video.

$3,500–$6,000/mo, plus software

Who this is for

You don't have an affiliate manager — and shouldn't need to hire one.

You want affiliate to be a real channel but don't have a dedicated headcount for it.

You've tried running the program with a marketer who has ten other jobs — it stalled.

You've had an internal affiliate hire before and don't want to repeat the cycle of hiring, training, and turnover.

You want one accountable partner running the channel and reporting to your team.

Affiliate is a specialist role. Most teams don't have one.

Programs that get handed to a general marketer plateau. Partners don't get recruited. Dormant accounts stay dormant. Commission structures never get tuned. Reporting is a scramble the week before each QBR.

Manager gives you a specialist team without the hire, the ramp, or the turnover risk.

How we work

Audit, recruit, optimize, report.

01

Audit & plan

Two-week audit of existing partners, historical performance, and ICP fit. Ends with a 90-day plan.

Weekly optimization of commission structures, creative, and partner mix based on what's converting.

04

Report

Monthly performance report, quarterly plan refresh, and standing 30-minute weekly sync with your team.

A sample month

What a typical month looks like.

Week 1

Monthly report delivered. Recruiting outreach batch #1. Top-partner check-ins. Payout run.

Week 2

Activation of new signups. Creative refresh. Commission tuning against last month's data.

Week 3

Recruiting outreach batch #2. Dormant partner re-engagement. Mid-month performance review.

Week 4

Application catch-up. Payout prep. Report drafted. Plan next month with your team.

Low-risk to try

Handing over the program shouldn't feel scary.

Outsourcing a channel is a big call. These are the guardrails we put around it so you can try Manager without betting the quarter on us.

No long-term lock-in

Month-to-month after a short initial term. Thirty days' notice to pause or resize — everything we build (SOPs, partner lists, reporting) stays yours on the way out.

Onboarding promise

By day 30 you have a documented recruiting plan in motion, a live activation calendar, and your first monthly report in hand. If we miss it, the next month is credited.

Fit call, not a pitch

The first conversation is a working discovery call. If your program needs an in-house hire or the Director tier instead of Manager, we'll tell you — and help you scope it either way.

Manager questions, answered

Skip the hire. Start the program.

Fifteen minutes to scope, ninety days to a running channel. Your team stays lean.
