Referral · Sales partners
You know operators who are drowning in follow-up, customer communication, and busywork that AI should be running, or who need a seasoned supply chain hand to fix a 3PL, a warehouse, or a fulfillment setup. Introduce them to Silk Road and earn a share of net revenue on every account that becomes a client, whether they buy from Silk Road AI Solutions or Silk Road SCM. One code, one link, one dashboard. No cost, no quota, and nothing to sell unless you want to.
You earn when we get paid. Every dollar is visible in your dashboard.
Two ways to partner
Both roles pay on net revenue, which is everything the client pays Silk Road, setup and implementation fees included, less payment processing fees. Commissions are calculated as revenue is received and paid monthly. Project engagements (SCM consulting projects, fractional leadership roles, one-off builds with no recurring fee) pay a flat 20% of net revenue for the length of the project, for either role.
For consultants, bookkeepers, networking group members, and anyone whose clients trust their recommendations. You send a name and a reason; Dallas runs the discovery call, the 30-day pilot, and the engagement.
For people with a sales background and a network of operators. You present the decks and proposals Silk Road builds, work the prospect from first contact through handoff, and keep earning as long as the account stays. The step-down keeps the next new account worth more than the last.
How it works
Book a 30-minute intro call. We'll pick your tier, sign a short partner agreement, and set you up with a partner code and referral link the same day.
Use the ready-made email and LinkedIn copy in your dashboard, or send us a lead directly. Anyone who books through your link is credited to you automatically.
When a referred business becomes a client, every month of revenue creates a commission line in your dashboard at your tier's rate. Payouts go out monthly.
Worked example
A referral partner introduces a logistics company. After the 30-day pilot it signs on at $3,000 per month net. Here is what the partner earns, with nothing to do after the introduction.
Figures are illustrative. Actual engagement sizes vary by scope.
Who makes a great partner
You see which clients are losing money to slow follow-up and manual work. You're the first person they'd ask about fixing it.
Freight agents, 3PL leaders, and carriers who know which operators are ready to automate quoting, tracking updates, and customer communication.
You get asked "what should we do about AI" every week. Now you have an answer that comes with a 30-day pilot and a share of the upside.
Chamber, BNI, MNO, and industry groups where a warm introduction is worth more than any ad.

Questions partners ask
A decision maker at a business with a real operational problem that AI can take on: lead follow-up, customer communication, document processing, or repetitive back-office work. Service businesses with a few to a few hundred employees are the sweet spot. You introduce them; we qualify them on the first call.
Commissions are calculated on net revenue as Silk Road receives it from the client and paid monthly. Net revenue means everything the client pays, setup and implementation fees included, less payment processing fees. You can see every line, calculated and paid, in your partner dashboard.
Not as a referral partner. You make the introduction and Dallas runs the sale, the pilot, and the engagement. Contracted sales partners take a bigger share because they work the prospect from first contact through handoff, using decks and proposals Silk Road provides.
No. There is no fee, no quota, and no minimum. We sign a short partner agreement, you get a partner code and a referral link, and you earn when accounts you introduce become paying clients.
The partner who registered the account first. Booking through your referral link registers it to you automatically; a lead you send by email is logged against your code the day it arrives. A registered account counts as yours if it signs and makes its first payment within 180 days of registration.
Done-for-you AI systems: lead follow-up that answers in seconds, customer communication in the client's voice, document processing into the software they already run, and dashboards they can run the company on. Every engagement starts with a 30-day pilot measured against numbers the client already tracks. See what we do.
Yes. The same code and referral link work for Silk Road SCM: 3PL and warehouse selection, fulfillment setup, operations assessments, and fractional supply chain leadership. Those are project engagements, so they pay a flat 20% of net revenue for the length of the project. Learn more at silkroadscm.com.
Book a 30-minute intro call. We'll set you up as a partner the same day, and your first referral can go out that afternoon.
