CobbledWorks Scouts

The whole thing, told as a story

No jargon and no hurry. Read it at your own speed, and there is a plain written summary at the bottom if you only want the short version.

Would rather watch it? The same story, animated, about a minute and a half, with the words on screen as they are spoken.

The story

Say you know one good person

We will call her Dana. Dana is made up, but everything that happens to her is real.

YOU
Step 1

You know about CobbledWorks.

That is all you need to start. There is nothing to buy and nothing to join.

YOU DANA
Step 2

You know Dana. Dana knows a lot of people.

Maybe a neighbour. Maybe someone from work. Somebody people trust.

"THERE IS A REFERRAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS" ONE SENTENCE
Step 3

You tell Dana one sentence.

There is a referral opportunity for small business owners. That is your whole job. You are not selling her anything.

WE DO THE TALKING
Step 4

Dana goes to one of our short online meetings.

They run every week and they are free. We explain everything to her. You do not have to be there and you do not have to know the answers.

DANA PAYS NOTHING
Step 5, the part people get stuck on

Dana does not buy anything. She never has to.

She is not a customer. She is someone who knows business owners. That is the whole reason you brought her.

DANA SAM'S BUSINESS
Step 6

Dana thinks of Sam. Sam owns a landscaping company.

Dana introduces Sam to us. Again, you are not in the room.

SAM $149 TO GET STARTED
Step 7

Sam buys a website. He pays $149 to get started.

That is the only money in the door on day one.

$149 IN $100 $49 DANA YOU NOTHING LEFT OVER
Step 8

That $149 goes straight back out. $100 to Dana. $49 to you.

Dana gets the bigger share because Dana knew Sam. You found Dana.

SAM PAYS MONTH ONE + $26 YOU HAVE MADE $75
Step 9

When Sam pays his first month, you get $26 more.

So one sale through Dana pays you $75. It arrives in two pieces because on day one there is nothing left to pay it from.

FIVE SALES THROUGH DANA $375 TO YOU
Step 10

Dana can do that up to five times for you.

Five sales at $75 is $375, from one person you introduced.

FIVE PAY YOU SIXTH DANA STILL GETS PAID ON ALL SIX. THAT IS HERS.
Step 11, the other question people ask

What if Dana introduces ten people and six of them buy?

You are paid on five. Dana is still paid on all six, because that side is hers, not yours.

12 MONTHS DONE
Step 12

Dana pays you for twelve months, or five sales, whichever comes first.

Then Dana is finished for you, and you go and find the next good person.

One change to that story. If Sam buys our CRM or our field tracker instead of a website, the numbers are smaller: Dana gets $50 and you get $35, in the same two pieces. Everything else works exactly the same way.
If you only read one thing

The whole program in twelve lines

  1. You tell someone you know that we exist.
  2. You are not selling. You are introducing.
  3. They come to a free weekly meeting. We explain it, not you.
  4. They never buy anything themselves.
  5. They introduce a business owner they already know.
  6. That owner buys something from us.
  7. The owner pays $149 to start a website.
  8. That $149 goes straight back out: $100 to the person you introduced, $49 to you.
  9. When the owner pays their first month, you get $26 more.
  10. So one sale pays you $75.
  11. You are paid on their first five sales, for twelve months. Whichever comes first.
  12. That is up to $375 from one person. Then you find someone new.

Nobody sits under anybody. The person you introduce cannot introduce people underneath you, and there is no level below them. You are paid for the introductions you make yourself, and nothing else.
