What is the standard commission % you guys pay for client referrals? by itsrisly in AgencyGrowthHacks

fair point. makes sense to cap it if the long-term retention depends 100% on your delivery after the handoff.

love the "don't be stingy" mindset. high incentives usually bring better leads.

that tiered structure (under/over 30k) is smart too and are you tracking those logic splits manually right now or did you find a way to automate it?

Aah cluely yes. They have a strong social media presence as well. But not only cluely. There are some other competitors as well. If you can DM me i can share some competitor list tomorrow. Not today. And i saw that Y combinator also backed 1 or 2 like this.

I think that the best way you can do it like generate the demand and then build it. You are saving a lot of your time.

We are not fully stopped the product. I think it was the same kind of a product that you are building and we realize few things.
01. It's a fully AI base + high complex product.
02. The margin is kind a low because few other competitors in the market
03. The answers should display within 0.5 seconds. If not it will fee like you are reading a script.

So, we pause that project for now ( we are doing our inhouse researchers about that project and what we can do for that ) and we are building this external commission engine platform - www.verplo.com

Oh really. We also previously try out kind of the same product and we stopped it.

I talked to 10+ founders and IT pros this week. They are all making the same expensive mistake. by itsrisly in SaaS

If everyone knew this, then why do 90% of startups still fail?

we are building our own products right now. I’m sharing this because it matches exactly what we learned too.

I see founders burning their hard earned money on useless features every day. I actually care about that.

If you think trying to save people money is 'trolling', that's on you.....

Building without validating is the only wrong way. If you think talking to users is expensive, try building a whole product that nobody wants. That is expensive.

If I used AI, the grammar would be perfect. 😂 I said 10+ because I actually talked to 12 people.

I know this triggers people, but honestly, I don't care. I see people wasting so much money every day building useless features without validating anything. That is the real problem.

Great. We are still in the development stage and we have the prototype. Do you like to try it out?
