Two ways to partner

REFER IT.
OR MAKE IT YOURS.

01 / Referral partner

Make the connection.

Introduce a suitable business to Robust. We handle the relationship, sales and delivery under the Robust brand. A good fit when you want to stay hands-off.

02 / White-label partner

Your brand. Our expertise.

Bring marketing products and services to your clients under your own brand. Robust scopes and delivers behind the scenes. Built for agencies, consultants and freelancers expanding their offer.

Both routes use the same commission structure. The approved Growth Partner agreement confirms eligibility and the terms for your engagement.

How it works

THREE STEPS.
REAL OPPORTUNITY.

01 / Introduce

Bring a qualified opportunity.

Identify an active marketing need, access to a decision-maker and a credible budget. Register the lead with Robust before work begins.

02 / Connect

Let’s shape the right response.

Robust checks the opportunity, agrees the scope and delivers under the Robust brand or yours.

03 / Earn

Get rewarded for the connection.

Commission becomes eligible under the approved terms once the client is paying and the required retention period is met.

Ranges above show whole-rand inputs. The policy allows commission from R0.01 of eligible revenue. Examples are before the profit cap and all amounts exclude VAT. Revenue above R1 million requires written CEO approval before engagement for the excess to qualify.

Total profit is gross revenue less third-party media and pass-through costs, and direct delivery costs. Commission cannot exceed that retained profit. General overheads are not deducted.

A few straight answers

GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.

When is commission paid?

Under the programme policy, commission is once-off per inception year, after 90 continuous days as an active paying client and cleared funds. Crystallised commission is released in the next payment cycle, by the 15th of the following month. Amounts below R250 roll forward until the threshold or quarter-end, whichever comes first.

Can I earn again when a client renews?

Only a qualifying Year Two renewal can earn a further once-off commission. The contract must renew within 12 months of inception, revenue must equal or exceed Year One, all invoices must be paid and the client must satisfy the 90-day retention requirement. No commission is payable for Year Three or later.

What makes a lead eligible?

A new opportunity with an active marketing need, decision-maker access and a credible budget. Leads must be registered and acknowledged in writing. The internal policy excludes existing clients, suppliers, recent former clients and prospects already in the pipeline. Approved leads have a 90-day protection period, subject to the policy.

Does the calculator guarantee a payment?

No. It estimates headline commission and, when supplied, applies the retained-profit cap. Robust confirms eligibility, actual revenue, retained profit and the applicable terms. External partners must agree their approved Growth Partner agreement.

Where can I read the full policy?

The employees and independent contractors programme policy is included in a clearly labelled section of our Privacy Policy page. It sets out registration, eligibility, commission, confidentiality, payment and dispute provisions.
