Works with the tools you already use
You Don't Have a Partnerships Problem. You Have a Capacity Problem.
Most SMB SaaS teams know referrals and partners could drive real pipeline. What they're missing isn't the desire — it's the strategy, the system, and the people to run it.
Sound Familiar?
- Too early for a partnerships hire: A seasoned partner leader costs $150K+. Too expensive to justify now, too important to keep ignoring.
- No playbook: You're not sure which channel to start with, how to structure commissions, or what “good” even looks like.
- No one owns it: Recruiting, onboarding, and managing partners falls between the cracks — so it never becomes a priority.
- You tried once and it fizzled: A referral program with no system behind it quietly died. The idea was right; the execution wasn't there.
We Build and Run It For You
From strategy to execution, Elinkages stands up your partner channel and operates it — so you get pipeline without adding headcount.
- Strategy, designed and activated: Channel prioritization, ideal partner profiles, and a partner GTM plan built for your stage.
- The system, built for you: Playbooks, commission models, and onboarding workflows on software that tracks every referral from click to payout.
- The program, run end-to-end: Partner recruitment, onboarding, ops, and reporting — managed by people who've done it before.
- Software so nothing slips: Tracking links, automated commissions, and Stripe payouts under the hood — yours to take in-house whenever you're ready.
