Learn & practice
Talking about us, made easy.
A plain guide that meets you where you are, and a place to rehearse until it feels like nothing.
Which one are you right now?
Tap where you are. It drops you straight into the part that helps.
The whole thing, in eight short reads
None of them is long. Open any one. They stay open so you can find your spot again.
1Who actually counts
Anyone who runs a business and could use a better website. That's the whole list.
You're not hunting strangers. Think about the people you already talk to who own something. The barber. Your cousin with the cleaning company. The woman who does your nails. The guy who fixed your AC. If they take money from customers, they count.
You don't need fifty names. One person you'd actually text back is plenty to start with.
2You already know how to do this
You recommend things all the time. This is that exact move.
When you tell a friend where to get good tacos, you're doing the thing we're asking for. You liked something, so you passed it on. Nobody trained you for that.
The one new part is that you get paid when it works out. You don't lead with it, and you never dodge it either. Ask you straight and you say so straight, and that makes people trust you more, not less. It's the difference between a friend and a salesperson, and you're the friend.
3Bringing it up without being weird
Don't announce it. Drop it into a conversation you're already in.
The clunky version is a cold "hey, I've got a business proposition for you." Skip that. The good version rides on something real they said: their website looks dated, work's been slow, they're proud of a new spot. That's your opening. "Funny you mention that, I know a group that does exactly this."
No moment showing up on its own? Make a small one. Ask how the business is going. People love talking about their own work, and the door opens itself.
4What to actually say
You're not closing a deal. You're offering to send a link.
The first message has a tiny job. You want one small yes: "sure, send it." That's all you're going for. So keep it short. You know a group that builds a genuinely good website and they own it at the end. Then ask if you can send the link.
Undersell it and let the work do the talking. You already vouched just by bringing it up, so you don't need to oversell. Quiet confidence lands better than a pitch.
5When they ask questions
Questions are a good sign. It means they're interested.
You don't need every answer ready. "Good question, let me send you the link and it's all there" is a completely fine reply. Nobody expects you to be the expert. You're the connector.
For the ones that come up most: yes, they can keep their current site or start fresh. Yes, they own it outright. No, you don't work for them, you're just in their referral club. When you don't know something, say so and point at the link. Being honest about what you don't know reads as trustworthy every time.
6When they say no or nothing
A "not now" isn't a no. Silence is usually just a busy week.
Most people won't answer the first time, and that's normal. It's not rejection, it's a full inbox. Give it about a week, then one light nudge: "no rush, just wanted it on your radar." Then let it sit.
Their number stays tied to you, so if they sign up in three months you still get the credit. That takes all the pressure off. One friendly follow-up, then leave the door open. The friendship is worth more than any single referral, so never chase.
7After they say yes
Get your link in their hands, and we take it from there.
Once they're curious, send your link. Your number's baked into it, so the credit locks to you the second they open it and sign up. You don't have to talk pricing or close anything. We handle all of that.
Then just check in like a friend would: "hey, did they take care of you?" That's it. You made the intro. That was the whole job, and you already did it.
8Doing this on purpose
A few minutes here and there beats one big push.
The people who do well at this aren't grinding. They just keep it in the back of their mind. Tell one person this week. Notice the next time someone complains about their website. That's the rhythm.
Your rate climbs as you go, so the tenth intro is worth more than the first. Here's how the levels move, counted on the last twelve months, rates only, no promises:
That's a flat $100 when their first payment clears, plus that share of their build fee, plus 10% of their monthly payments for as long as they stay. The percentage is on the build fee only, so a plan without one still pays the $100 and the residual. Small and steady is the move.
Ready to hear it out loud?
Practice mode lets you rehearse the whole thing, no one watching.
Practice until it feels like nothing
Four quick ways to warm up. Nobody's watching. You're not pitching, you're pointing a friend at something good. When you copy any line, your link and number ride along.
They say / you could say
A friend's line on the front. A warm, real reply on the back. Flip through them a few times and the words start to feel like yours.
Copy adds your link and number to the end, so it's ready to paste into a text.
Saying it in 60 seconds
Tap the pieces that sound like you. It puts together a short, natural way to say it, with your link already in there.
If they hesitate
The four things people say back when they’re unsure, and two honest ways to answer each. No spin. Pick whichever sounds like you.
Am I ready?
Tick what's true. No wrong answers, and it saves on this phone so you can come back to it.
That's everything. Go send one.
You've got the words and the honesty. Now pick one person and make the intro. It's easier than the practice was.
