AGENCY PARTNERSHIP

Here are some great reasons your agency should partner with SC Digital:

• We are trusted and proven – when you send us a cleint referral, you can rest assured they will be given the utmost care and attention… the same they’d receive from you.  As an agency partner, we become an extension of your business.  A trusted resource you can employ when your clients require services you don’t provide in house.  Your clients will love our consultative, personal approach to digital marketing, and they’ll thank you for the introduction.

• We stay in our lane so you can stay in yours – Other agencies might try to steal your clients if you refer business to them. Not us. We understand that our agency partners are far more valuable as exactly that: “partners.” That means we will always edify you and never try to steal the client’s business from you. And think about it: why would we do anything different? We want to incentivize you to send us your clients so we will never jeopardize the relationship we build.

• No need to hire more people – Let’s say your agency specializes in website development and hosting. That’s awesome! That means you likely have clients who want to do more digital marketing and, unless you provide those services, those clients will get them from some other agency. That other agency might also try to help themselves to your hosting and maintenance retainers, as well. Alternatively, you could hire someone (or a group of people) to handle your digital marketing clients. This might not sound like your idea of a good time. Instead, you can forward your clients to us, we’ll help them, and send you a check. That means you don’t need to get your hands dirty.

Agency partner program pricing

We have 3 simple agency programs:

Referral Program (a.k.a. Mailbox Money Forever)

You refer opportunities our way, we compensate you on a recurring basis into perpetuity. This is the way most of our agency partners prefer to operate and involves a warm handoff that goes something like this:

• “Mr. Client, it sounds like you’re interested in running some Google Ads. We don’t do that here at Jim Smith Web Design, but we have a great relationship with a top-tier agency called SC Digital. They take care of this for many of our most valued clients. Could I make an introduction for you?”

Clients you send us in this manner will result in a 10% recurring commission for the life of our relationship with that client. This does not require any ongoing management from you…. It is a simple handoff that results in long term profit for you with almost no work. We handle the client relationship, reporting, maintenance, and anything else that comes up.

Dual Agency Program

You refer business to us and maintain complete control over the client, and we become your “Subject Matter Experts.” In this way, we provide your clients with a great service but maintain our own identity. We will meet with your client with, or without, a representative from your agency on an ongoing basis, and will provide SC Digital branded reporting directly to your client. This engagement would start with a conversation like this:

• “Mr. Client, it sounds like you’re interested in running some Google Ads. For that service I’ll actually bring in an agency I trust very much, SC Digital, to plan and execute the strategy for you. I know enough to be dangerous but in the interest of being sure you get the best service possible, I’d like to bring on their services… they’re the experts. I’ll get a Zoom call set up so we can get one of their Ad experts to answer some questions for us.”

Clients you send us under this program will pay a 25% recurring commission for the life of our relationship with that client. Like in the Referral program, we will bill the client directly and you will invoice us for 25% of that bill (minus any prepaid ad spend).

White Label Program

Under this program, you remain the only point of contact with the client but we complete all the work. This is akin to us being employees of your agency without you having to hire anybody. We will provide branded, white-labeled reporting to you so that you can provide it to your client. Your representatives remain the single point of contact to your client, and SC Digital simply completes the work in the background. This engagement would start something like this:

• “Mr. Client, it sounds like you’re interested in Google Ads, and we can absolutely fulfill that request.” At this point, your agency would contract with SC Digital to handle the implementation of the Google Ads campaign.

We will charge 50% of the client retainer for this type of service, which will be billed to your agency directly.
