# Analysis & Recommendations

## Winning Prediction

**Pick: #2 — "3 mistakes costing you jobs (and money)"**

**Why:**

- Combines **fear** (costing you money) with **specific value** (3 mistakes)
- "Jobs" hits harder for tradies than generic "leads"
- "And money" creates double emotional hit
- No personalisation needed — works for cold lists
- Australian-appropriate phrasing
- Clear promise: there's a fix

This balances curiosity, stakes, and solution in one line. It's our highest-confidence performer.

---

## Spam Trigger Warning

**None of these should trigger spam filters.**

- No ALL CAPS
- No excessive punctuation (no "!!!", "???")
- No spammy words like "free", "guarantee", "act now", "winner"
- Dollar figures ($2,300) are fine — not "100% free money"
- "Click to see" is borderline but acceptable; could swap to "here's how" if paranoid

### 🏆 Winning Prediction

**I'd bet on Variant 1: "Is {business_name} losing $500/week to voicemail?"**

**Why:**

1. **Question format** creates psychological tension — the brain naturally wants to resolve the question
2. **Personalisation** with business name — highest open rate driver in B2B
3. **Specific dollar amount** — $500/week is concrete, relatable, and pain-inducing for a tradie
4. **Mobile-friendly** — 44 chars is borderline but works (shows full on most phones)
5. **Cold-ready** — works as first touch, doesn't assume they know they have a problem

**Runner-up:** Variant 5 (personalised direct address) — strongest if you have {first_name} data. Variant 3 (benefit-led) if targeting hot leads.

---

### A/B Test Recommendation

**Test across segments:**

| Segment | Test Winners |
|---------|--------------|
| **Cold outreach** | V1 (curiosity/question) vs V4 (social proof/{suburb}) |
| **Warm leads** | V5 (personalised) vs V7 (curiosity gap) |
| **Hot/demo requests** | V3 (benefit) vs V8 (command) |

Run each test for **minimum 200 sends** before calling a winner. Open rate is the primary metric; click-through confirms intent.

# Expert Analysis

## Winning Prediction

**Pick: #6 — "{business_name}, stop missing calls"**

**Why**: Personalisation is the single strongest lever in email marketing. When a tradie sees their own business name in their inbox, it breaks through the noise instantly. Combined with the direct fear trigger ("stop missing calls"), this hits both relevance and pain point in one line.

- **Personalised subjects** consistently outperform generic ones by 20-30% (Campaign Monitor data)
- The truncation on mobile still shows the business name first — that's the hook
- Works across warm and hot segments where you have business data
- No spam triggers, no gimmicks — just direct and personal

**Runner-up**: #3 ("Other tradies in {suburb} never miss a call") — Local social proof is huge in the Aussie tradie market. If you have suburb data, test this as a close second.

---

## Spam Trigger Warning

**Safe**: All 10 are clean. No ALL CAPS, no excessive punctuation, no trigger words like "free," "guarantee," "winner," "act now," "limited time."

**Watch**: #9 uses "$500" — dollar signs are generally fine in B2B but can occasionally trigger spam filters if overused in a campaign. Recommend testing with a different framing (e.g., "a $500 job") if open rates seem low.

## A/B Test Recommendation

**Phase 1 (Test 1 vs 1)**: Run #6 (personalisation) vs #5 (curiosity gap) — tests personalisation vs novelty on cold audience.

**Phase 2 (Winners)**: Take the winner, test against #3 (local social proof) if you have suburb data — or #9 (fear) if targeting hot leads.

**Segment Strategy**:

- **Cold**: Use #1, #5, #8
- **Warm**: Use #2, #3, #7, #10
- **Hot**: Use #6, #9

This gives you a full-funnel testing plan with data-backed choices at each stage.

## Additional Insights

### 🏆 Winning Prediction

**My pick: Variant #2 — "Hey {first_name}, is {suburb} tradie missing calls?"**

**Why:**

- Personalisation tokens (name + suburb) create instant relevance in a way generic copy can't match
- The question format forces cognitive engagement — the brain *needs* to answer
- Loss framing ("missing calls") hits a real pain point tradies feel daily
- It's specific to their location, making it feel like a local, relatable message rather than mass marketing
- The preview text compounds this with "100+ Aussie tradies" social proof

This combination of personalisation + question + loss + social proof is a potent mix that stands out in any inbox.

---

### ⚠ Spam Trigger Warning

**Low risk across all variants.** None use:
~ ALL CAPS
~ Excessive punctuation (!!!, $$$)
~ Spammy words ("free", "guaranteed", "act now", "winner")

**One minor note:** Variant #8 ("Stop losing jobs") uses slight fear language. Monitor for unsubscribes if your list skews toward already-converted clients who might find it too pushy.

# Analysis & Recommendations

## Winning Prediction

**Pick: #4 — "What if your clients never missed another call?"**

**Why:**
- Question format consistently outperforms statements in cold outreach (opens curiosity loop)
- Speaks to agency's client pain point without being salesy
- Under 50 characters — mobile-friendly
- "Another" implies they already know this is a problem (establishes rapport)
- Preview text gives just enough info without over-explaining

**Close second:** #5 — "{first_name}, Aussie tradies are bleeding cash" (personalisation + emotional hook)

---

## Spam Trigger Warning

**⚠ Flagged:**

- **#3 "Earn $597/mo per tradie client"** — Dollar amounts in subject lines can trigger spam filters, especially in cold outreach. Consider removing the dollar sign: "Earn $597 per month per client"

- **#9 "30% recurring — Aussie tradie opportunity"** — The em dash and "opportunity" language sits right on the line. Fine for warm leads, risky for cold.

**Safe:** All others are clean. No ALL CAPS, no excessive punctuation, natural language.

## 🏆 Winning Prediction

**Pick: #3 — "Tradies miss 1 in 3 calls. Here's the fix."**

**Why:**
- Numbers cut through inbox noise immediately
- Curiosity gap ("here's the fix") creates open incentive without being salesy
- 39 characters — perfectly optimised for mobile (won't truncate)
- Speaks directly to the association's member pain point
- The stat is believable and specific to tradies, not generic

**Runner-up:** #9 ("Never miss a call again") — slightly higher open potential but less compelling than the curiosity gap in #3.

---

## ⚠ Spam Trigger Warnings

- **#5:** "raving" — slightly emotional language; keep body copy neutral
- **#8:** "Hey" — casual but safe; don't overuse with bulk sends
- **#4 & #7:** "member benefit" repeated — not a trigger, but avoid in every subject line across a campaign

**General spam advice for this campaign:**

- Avoid "free," "act now," "limited time"
- Don't use more than one exclamation mark
- Keep links in preview text to a minimum (one is fine)
- Authenticate your sending domain (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)

---

## 📱 Mobile Preview Notes

All 10 subject lines fit under 50 characters, making them safe for mobile. The three **under 40 characters** (best for mobile-first opens):

- **#9:** "Never miss a call again" (24 chars) — no truncation even on iPhone
- **#5:** "The tool tradies are raving about" (32 chars)
- **#3:** "Tradies miss 1 in 3 calls. Here's the fix." (39 chars)

These three are your strongest mobile performers. Consider running them as separate test cells if your list is heavily mobile-opened.

**Preview Text:** Sunaiva answers 24/7 so you're not leaving money on the table.

**Psychological Trigger:** Fear of loss (soft)

**Expected Open Rate:** Medium. Fear-based subjects work but can feel salesy. Framing it as a solution (not just the problem) softens it and keeps it in "helpful" territory rather than alarmist.

**Best For:** Cold prospects

**Subject:** AI for tradies. Finally works

**Preview Text:** No complicated setup. Just a voice that books jobs for you.

# Strategic Summary

## Winning Prediction

**Pick: #7 — "Tradies in {suburb} are never missing calls now"**

**Why:**

1. **Local relevance wins in Australia.** Suburbs create instant familiarity and trust. A tradie in Craigieburn or Toowoomba sees their own area and thinks "this is for me."
2. **Social proof at scale.** "47 Aussie tradies upgraded" is specific enough to feel real, not generic.
3. **"Tradies" = instant audience identification.** No ambiguity about who this is for.
4. **Mobile-optimised hook.** The subject line front-loads the most interesting words before truncation.
5. **Soft call to action.** "Never missing calls" is aspirational, not pushy — fits the "We've improved" win-back context perfectly.

*Close second: #2 (straight benefit, works cold) and #9 (simplicity resonates with tradies tired of complicated tech).*

---

## Spam Trigger Warning

**None of these are likely to trigger spam filters.** Here's why:

- ✅ No ALL CAPS
- ✅ No excessive punctuation (no "!!!", no "$$$")
- ✅ No spammy words ("free", "act now", "limited time offer", "guaranteed")
- ✅ Personalisation tokens are realistic and varied
- ✅ Length is appropriate
- ✅ Australian English reads naturally, not "spammy" (no "Dear Friend", no over-promising)

**However:** If sending to a cold list with very low engagement history, monitor deliverability. Avoid "never" in subject lines with some ESPs — it's occasionally flagged (though these are safe). Keep an eye on complaint rates if volume is high.

# Sunaiva Partner Playbook: Web Agencies (5-20 Tradie Clients)

## 1. Research Checklist

Before reaching out, gather this intel:

- [ ] **Their website**: What platforms do they use? (WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace?)
- [ ] **Client list**: Find 3-5 tradie businesses in their portfolio (check case studies/portfolio page)
- [ ] **Service offering**: Do they offer ongoing maintenance, SEO, hosting? (Shows they're open to recurring offers)
- [ ] **LinkedIn profile**: Who are the decision-makers? (Usually the owner/founder)
- [ ] **Recent activity**: Any new posts about tradie websites, launches, or industry comments?
- [ ] **Contact info**: Find direct email or phone number (avoid generic "contact us" forms)
- [ ] **Location**: Australian state/territory (helps with local context in conversation)

**Pro tip**: If they have a tradie client with a clunky old site, that's your opening.

---

## 2. Cold Email

**Subject:** Quick question about your tradie clients

Hi [Name],

Saw your work with [Tradie Client Name] — solid WordPress builds.

Here's a thought: any of your tradie clients ever miss calls because they're on the tools? Most tradies we talk to lose 5-10 jobs a month from missed calls.

We've built an AI voice widget that answers calls, books jobs and handles enquiries 24/7 — sits right on their website. Costs less than a part-time receptionist.

I'm not looking to take over your clients. Just wondering if you'd be open to adding this to your offering? We pay 30% commission on every widget you refer.

Happy to jump on a 10-minute chat if it makes sense.

Cheers,
[Your name]
Sunaiva

---

## 3. LinkedIn Message

**Under 300 characters:**

Hey [Name], saw your site — nice work with the tradie builds. Quick question: do any of your clients lose calls while they're working? We built an AI receptionist for tradies (answers calls, books jobs 24/7) and we partner with agencies like yours — 30% recurring commission. Worth a 10-min chat?

---

## 4. Phone Script (First 30 Seconds)

**When they answer:**

"Hi [Name], it's [your name] from Sunaiva. How are you going?

Look, I won't take up much of your time. I noticed you build sites for tradies — plumbers, electricians — and I wanted to see if you've ever had clients say they're losing jobs from missed calls?

We've built this AI voice widget that answers calls and books jobs for them 24/7. We work with web agencies as partners — you send us clients, we handle everything, you get 30% recurring commission.

I've got about 90 seconds — want me to tell you how it works?"

---

## 5. Value Proposition

### What's in it for them: 30% recurring commission

They do absolutely zero maintenance, support, or onboarding. They refer a client, we do the rest. Every month that client keeps the widget, they get paid. It's genuinely passive income — no staff, no software, no hassle.

### How it makes their offering stronger

Right now, they're probably delivering a website and then hoping the client renews hosting. This adds a *value-add* they can mention in proposals:

*"And we can also set you up with an AI receptionist that answers calls while you're on the tools."*

It makes them look more professional, more comprehensive, and gives clients a reason to stick around. It also differentiates them from the mate who "knows a bit of WordPress" down the road.

### Why their tradie clients will love it

Tradies hate answering the phone. They hate scheduling. They hate missing calls. This widget solves that — it answers like a real person, books the job into their calendar, and sends them an SMS. It's like hiring a receptionist for $197/month. Most tradies spend more on coffee.

---

## 6. Objection Handling

### Objection 1: "I don't have time to sell this to my clients."

**Response:**
"Yeah, I hear you — you're already wearing six hats. But here's the thing: you don't have to sell it. Just mention it. When you're doing a site launch or a check-in, say 'Hey, by the way, we've got this AI receptionist thing — costs about $200 a month, happy to set it up.' That's it. If they're interested, we do the demo, the setup, everything. You just send them our way."

---

### Objection 2: "My clients are happy — they don't need this."

**Response:**
"Yeah, and maybe they don't. But here's a stat that might change your mind: the average tradie we talk to loses about 5-10 calls a week from being on the job. At $300-$500 per job, that's $1,500-$5,000 a week in missed revenue. Most tradies don't even realise it's happening until we show them their call logs. It's not about them being unhappy — it's about them leaving money on the table. And hey, if your clients really don't want it, no harm done."

---

### Objection 3: "I don't want to recommend something that might stuff up."

**Response:**
"100% get it — you put your reputation on the line with every recommendation. But this isn't some dodgy overseas tool. It's built in Australia, specifically built for tradies, and it's voice AI — it sounds like a real person, books into their calendar, sends SMS confirmations. We've got 200+ tradie businesses using it right now. Worst case, a client tries it, doesn't like it, cancels. Best case, they never miss another call. Either way, you're not on the hook for support — that's all us."

---

## 7. Commission Calculator

Show them the math. Write it out on a notepad or screen share:

| Clients on Widget | Monthly Revenue per Client | Your Commission (30%) | Your Monthly Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $197 x 5 = $985 | 30% | **$295.50** |
| 10 | $197 x 10 = $1,970 | 30% | **$591.00** |
| 15 | $197 x 15 = $2,955 | 30% | **$886.50** |
| 20 | $197 x 20 = $3,940 | 30% | **$1,182.00** |

**With the Pro tier ($397/mo):**

| Clients on Widget | Monthly Revenue per Client | Your Commission (30%) | Your Monthly Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $397 x 10 = $3,970 | 30% | **$1,191.00** |
| 20 | $397 x 20 = $7,940 | 30% | **$2,382.00** |

**Say this:**
"Look, even if just half your tradie clients sign up for the Starter widget at $197, that's over $1,100 a month in passive income. And that's assuming zero extra work from you."

---

## 8. Onboarding Offer

Here's what you do to make it easy for them:

| What you provide | What's in it for them |
|---|---|
| **Dedicated partner portal** | They can track referrals, see commissions, and access marketing assets |
| **One-page PDF sell sheet** | They can email or print this to drop in their client proposals |
| **Demo account access** | They can test the widget themselves so they can speak confidently about it |
| **5-minute training call** | Show them how it works, what it sounds like, and how to spot opportunities in conversation |
| **Co-branded landing page** | A unique URL they can send clients to — looks like it's from their agency |
| **First widget free for their own site** | Let them experience it on their own site first — builds trust |
| **Priority support** | Their referred clients jump the queue |

**No setup fees. No minimums. Zero upfront cost to them.**

## 9. Follow-Up Sequence

### Touch 1: Initial outreach (Email + LinkedIn)

Send same day. Set calendar link in signature.

### Touch 2: Follow-up (5 business days later)

**Subject:** Quick follow-up — AI receptionist for tradies

Hi [Name],

Just following up on my last msg — no stress if it's not relevant, but I wanted to share a quick example:

One of our agency partners referred a plumber in [their suburb/area]. Within 30 days, the widget had booked 12 jobs directly into his calendar — $4,200 in revenue he would've otherwise missed.

If you're curious, happy to hop on a quick 10-min call. Here's my calendar: [link]

Cheers,
[Your name]

### Touch 3: Final outreach (10 business days after Touch 2)

**Subject:** One last thing — partnership commission

Hi [Name],

I'll stop bugging you after this one, I promise.

I know you're busy building sites and keeping your clients happy. This is genuinely a "set and forget" thing for you — send us someone, we do the rest, you get paid every month.

If it's not the right time, no worries. But if you're ever curious, the offer stands.

Cheers,
[Your name]

---

## 10. Partnership Tier Recommendation

For a small agency (5-20 tradie clients, 2-5 employees), start with:

### Tier: Referral Partner

**Why:**

- Lowest barrier to entry — they can test it with 1-2 clients without pressure
- No minimums, no exclusivity
- They get paid 30% recurring for life of the client
- Full access to partner portal, sell sheets, and support

**When to upgrade:**

- Once they're consistently referring 5+ clients/month → **Reseller Partner**
  - Gets white-label landing pages, priority support, and slightly higher commission tier
- Once they want to bundle it into their own proposals as "their" product → **White-Label Partner**
  - Full rebrand, custom pricing, dedicated account manager

---

## Quick Reference Card

**The one-line pitch:**

*"We built an AI receptionist for tradies — it answers calls, books jobs, 24/7. We partner with web agencies: you send us clients, you get 30% commission every month. Zero work from you."*

**The three benefits to the agency:**

1. **Passive income** — 30% recurring for doing nothing
2. **Client retention** — gives them a reason to stay (widget depends on website)
3. **Differentiation** — makes their offering look premium

**Closing line:**

*"So here's my question: do you reckon any of your current tradie clients would pay $200/month to never miss another call?"*

---

*That's the playbook. You're not asking for a favour — you're offering them easy money. Lead with confidence.*

## 1. Research Checklist

Before reaching out, gather this intel:

- **Client count & industries**: Which of their 20-50 clients are in trade/services? (Plumbers, sparkies, builders, HVAC — these are your golden targets)
- **Service mix**: SEO, PPC, web dev, or all three? Focus on their web clients first
- **Decision maker**: Who's the MD, owner, or head of client services? Get their name, not the reception desk
- **Current tech stack**: Do they already offer chatbots, automation, or AI tools? If so, what's their angle?
- **Agency growth signals**: Recent hires, new office, awards, case studies? Reference something specific
- **Client pain points**: Check their Google reviews or client testimonials — any mention of "hard to reach," "slow response," or "missed calls"?

**Pro tip**: Spend 10 minutes on their website and LinkedIn. Mention one specific thing in your outreach. Generic = ignored.

## 2. Cold Email

**Subject: [Agency Name] + passive income from your existing clients**

Hi [Name],

Quick question — how many of your clients miss calls after hours?

I'm with Sunaiva. We build AI voice assistants for tradie websites — the widget answers calls, books jobs, handles enquiries 24/7.

Here's why I'm reaching out: we're looking for agency partners who service trade businesses. You'd earn 30% recurring commission on every widget your clients sign up for.

One agency in Melbourne just signed up 12 clients in 6 weeks. That's $7,092/month in passive income for them.

Happy to show you how it works — 10 minutes, no pressure.

Cheers,
[Your name]
Sunaiva

## 3. LinkedIn Message

*(297 characters)*

Hey [Name], saw your agency works with [industry/client type]. We're paying partners 30% recurring to bundle our AI voice widget with their existing web clients. One agency made $7k/mo in 6 weeks. Worth a 10-min chat? Happy to show you how it works.

---

## 4. Phone Script — First 30 Seconds

"Hi [Name], it's [your name] from Sunaiva. Hope I'm catching you at a good time.

I'll be quick — we help digital agencies earn recurring revenue by adding an AI voice assistant to their existing web clients. The widget answers calls, books jobs, does the lot.

We're paying 30% commission on every client you refer. The agency [or "your competitors"] are making a few grand a month from it already.

Do you have 2 minutes for me to tell you how it works?"

---

## 5. Value Proposition

### What's in it for them (30% recurring commission)

This is **real revenue**, not a token gesture. Every client they refer keeps paying Sunaiva, and they keep getting paid — every month, for as long as the client stays.

- Starter widget ($197/mo) = $59.10/mo per client
- Pro widget ($397/mo) = $119.10/mo per client
- Growth widget ($597/mo) = $179.10/mo per client

This isn't a one-time affiliate payout. It's a revenue stream that compounds as they sign more clients.

### How it makes their existing offering stronger

Their clients already pay for a website. Now they can offer **voice AI as an upsell** — without their team lifting a finger.

- **Web dev clients**: Add voice AI as a "premium package" upgrade
- **SEO clients**: Offer it as a conversion optimisation extra — "Hey, we've improved your rankings, let's make sure you're also capturing the calls you're generating"
- **PPC clients**: Every ad dollar spent on clicks is wasted if no one answers. The widget closes that loop.

They're not selling something new. They're monetising the attention they already have.

### Why their clients will love it

- **Never miss a lead**: After-hours, weekends, lunch breaks — the AI picks up
- **Book jobs while they sleep**: Integrated with their calendar or CRM
- **Costs less than a part-time receptionist**: $197/mo vs $3,000+/month for staff
- **No training required**: It's plug-and-play on their existing site

Trade business owners are busy. They're on the tools, driving, or asleep after a 12-hour day. They need someone (something) answering the phone. Sunaiva does that.

---

## 6. Objection Handling

### Objection 1: "We already offer something similar / we have a chatbot"

**Response:**
"Yeah, look, chatbots are great for website chats — but they don't answer the phone. Your clients' phones are ringing right now and going to voicemail. That's where the money walks out the door.

Our widget sits right on the site, answers calls in seconds, and books jobs straight into their calendar. Happy to show you a demo so you can see the difference firsthand."

*Why it works: You pivot from "competing product" to "different problem." Chatbots = text. Voice AI = phone calls. Different use case.*

---

### Objection 2: "My clients won't want this / they're too old school"

**Response:**
"I hear that a lot — but here's what's interesting. The ones pushing back hardest are usually the ones losing the most money to missed calls.

Last month, a 60-year-old plumber in Brisbane told me he'd lost $18k in jobs because he missed calls over a long weekend. Two weeks later, he'd booked $11k in jobs through the widget while he was fishing.

It's not about being 'techy.' It's about not leaving money on the table. Your clients are business owners — they get it when you show them the numbers."

*Why it works: Reframe "too old school" as "hasn't seen the revenue impact yet." Show, don't tell.*

---

### Objection 3: "I don't have time to sell this / my team is stretched"

**Response:**
"That's exactly why this works. You don't need to sell anything.

We give you a one-page PDF, a demo video, and the pricing. When you're already on a call with a web client — maybe they're asking about SEO or a redesign — you say, 'Oh, by the way, we've got this AI widget that answers calls for you. Want me to throw that in?'

You're already there. You're already getting paid. This is just adding a line item."

*Why it works: Reduce the perceived effort. This isn't a hard sell — it's a convenient upsell on existing conversations.*

---

## 7. Commission Calculator

Show them the numbers. Write it out. Let them do the math themselves — they'll convince themselves.

**Scenario A: Conservative (you only pitch your trade clients)**

| Clients referred | Widget tier | Your monthly commission |
|---|---|---|
| 5 clients | Starter ($197) | $295.50 |
| 10 clients | Starter ($197) | $591.00 |
| 15 clients | Starter ($197) | $886.50 |

**Scenario B: Realistic (mix of tiers, some upsells)**

| Clients referred | Widget tier | Your monthly commission |
|---|---|---|
| 8 clients | Starter ($197) | $472.80 |
| 5 clients | Pro ($397) | $595.50 |
| 2 clients | Growth ($597) | $238.20 |
| **TOTAL** | **15 clients** | **$1,306.50/mo** |

**Scenario C: If you go big (half your client base)**

| Clients referred | Widget tier | Your monthly commission |
|---|---|---|
| 25 clients | Mix (avg $300) | $2,250.00/mo |

**Your annual earnings at scale**: $13,500 to $27,000+ per year — passive, recurring, for work you're already doing.

---

## 8. Onboarding Offer

When they say yes, here's what you do for them:

**Week 1: Setup & Training**

- **Dedicated partner account manager**: Single point of contact, not a generic support inbox
- **Demo account access**: Play with the widget yourself — see how it works, test the voice, set up a dummy booking
- **Sales one-pager**: PDF they can drop into client proposals. Clean, professional, easy to customise
- **15-minute team training**: Walk through the dashboard, show them how to track their referrals and commissions

**Week 2+: Active support**

- **Pitch deck**: If they want to present to their team or include in proposals
- **Case studies**: Real Aussie tradie examples they can reference (with permission)
- **Weekly check-ins** (first month): Just to make sure they're comfortable, answer questions
- **Priority support**: Their clients get fast turnaround if they need technical help

**What you DON'T need from them**:

- Upfront payment
- A minimum number of referrals
- Technical integration work (it's a simple embed code)

---

## 9. Follow-Up Sequence

### Touch 1: Day 1 — Email + LinkedIn

- Send cold email (section 2)
- Connect on LinkedIn with short note
- **Goal**: Get them to open the email / see your name

### Touch 2: Day 4 — Phone call

- Call their direct line (not main reception)
- If no answer: leave a 30-second voicemail
  > "Hi [Name], it's [your name] from Sunaiva. Just following up on the email I sent — wanted to chat about the partner program. Give me a call back when you have 5 minutes."
- **Goal**: Human contact, break through the noise

### Touch 3: Day 9 — Value-add email

- Email with a specific, relevant detail:
  > "Hi [Name], I noticed your agency works with a lot of [specific industry] businesses. We just signed up a [similar business] in [their suburb] — they're booking 6 jobs a week through the widget. Thought you'd find that useful context. Happy to jump on a quick call if you're curious."
- **Goal**: Show relevance, not just "checking in again"

### If no response after 3 touches:

- Move to "warm" list
- Re-engage in 6 weeks with a new case study or update
- Don't spam. Quality > quantity.

---

## 10. Partnership Tier Recommendation

**For a 20-50 client agency: Start with RESELLER, plan to move to WHITE-LABEL**

### Referral Partner

- **Best for**: Agencies with <10 relevant clients, or those who want to test with zero effort
- **Commission**: 20%
- **Commitment**: Minimal. Just send us names, we handle the rest.
- **When to use**: If they're hesitant and you need a low-barrier entry

### Reseller Partner

- **Best for**: Mid-size agencies (your sweet spot) who want to own the conversation
- **Commission**: 30%
- **Commitment**: Actively pitch to clients. You own the client relationship. We handle tech.
- **What's included**: Branded pricing, dedicated support, sales collateral, commission tracking dashboard
- **Why it fits**: They get 30% (not 20%), they control the pitch, they look like they're offering a premium in-house service

### White-Label Partner

- **Best for**: Agencies with 50+ clients who want full branding control
- **Commission**: Up to 40%
- **Commitment**: Higher volume. You rebrand the widget as your own product.
- **When to move here**: Once they're consistently referring 10+ clients per month

**My recommendation**: Start the conversation at **Reseller**. If they want something lighter, offer Referral as a fallback. Don't lead with White-Label — it's overkill for their size and sounds complicated.

---

## Quick-Reference Pitch Summary

**The one-sentence pitch** (for when you're in a hurry):

> "We pay digital agencies 30% recurring to add our AI voice assistant to their web clients — they earn passive income, we handle the tech."

**The close**:

> "So here's the question — out of your [X] clients, who would you start with? Let's get one set up this week and see how it goes."

*Remember: You're offering them revenue, not asking for a favour. You're a partner, not a vendor. Act like it.*

## 2. Cold Email

**Subject:** Something that pays you while you sleep

Hey [Name],

Quick question — how many tradie websites have you built that just sit there after launch, earning you nothing until the next one?

I'm with Sunaiva. We make AI voice assistants for trade businesses — the widget that answers their phone, books jobs, and handles enquiries 24/7.

Here's the thing: I'm looking for web devs who already work with plumbers, sparkies, and tradies. You build the site, we give you 30% recurring commission every month that widget stays active.

20 clients on $197/mo Starter widgets = $1,182/month in passive income.

Happy to jump on a 10-min call to show you how it works. No pressure.

Cheers,
[Your name]

## 3. LinkedIn Message

**Character count:** Under 300

Hey [Name], saw your portfolio — solid work with the tradie sites. Quick question: do you offer your clients anything that keeps earning you money after launch?

We built an AI voice widget for tradies (answers calls, books jobs 24/7). Web dev partners get 30% recurring commission.

Example: 25 clients x $197 = $1,477/mo passive. Want me to show you how it works? 10 mins, no pitch deck.

Cheers,
[Your name]

## 4. Phone Script (First 30 Seconds)

>
> Cool, yeah. So what we do is add an AI voice assistant to their site — answers calls, books jobs, the lot. And the reason I'm calling you specifically is because you already build for tradies. You handle the website, we'll handle the widget, and you get 30% of whatever they pay us every month.
>
> I've got 10 minutes — want me to show you a quick demo?"

---

## 5. Value Proposition

### What's in it for them

- **30% recurring commission** on every widget they sell — forever
- **Passive income stream** from existing clients (no extra work after sale)
- **Upsell opportunity** — they can bundle the widget into their website packages

### How it makes their offering stronger

- **Differentiates them** from every other web dev who just delivers a static site and disappears
- **Increases client lifetime value** — tradies keep paying monthly for the widget, dev keeps earning
- **Reduces churn** — clients who are making money from their site stick around for updates

### Why their clients will love it

- **Never miss another call** — widget answers at 11pm on a Sunday

- **Cheaper than a receptionist** — $197/mo vs $3,000+/month for part-time staff
- **Instant professional feel** — "Your call is important to us" without the hold music

## 6. Objection Handling

### Objection 1: "I don't want to sell something I don't understand"

**Response:**
> "Totally get it. Here's the thing — you don't need to understand the tech. You just need to know what it does: answers the phone, books the job, handles enquiries. That's it. We handle all the setup, the training, the support. You just make the intro. And honestly, your tradie clients already want this — they're losing calls while they're on the tools. You're doing them a favour."

### Objection 2: "My clients already have answering services / voicemail"

**Response:**
> "Yeah, most do. But here's the difference — a voicemail doesn't book a job. Our widget does. It talks to the customer, understands what they need, checks your calendar, and locks in the appointment. Voicemail just sits there until you listen to it. This actually makes you money while you're asleep."

### Objection 3: "I don't have time to sell more stuff"

**Response:**
> "Fair enough. But you're already talking to tradies every day — you're building their sites. This isn't a hard sell. You finish their website and say, 'Hey, we can add this voice assistant that answers your phone and books jobs. It costs [X] and I get a small commission.' That's it. You're not adding hours to your week. You're just adding a line to your pitch."

## 9. Follow-Up Sequence

### Touch 1: Email (Day 1)

*Same as initial email — see Section 2*

### Touch 2: LinkedIn Message (Day 4)

> "Hey [Name], just following up on my email. No worries if it's not for you — just wanted to make sure it didn't get buried. Let me know either way and I'll stop chasing you."

### Touch 3: Phone Call (Day 10)

> "Hey [Name], it's [your name] from Sunaiva again. I know, I know — I'm that annoying bloke with the voice widget. Look, I genuinely think this fits what you're already doing. Even if you just want to try it with one client to see how it goes, I'm here. Can I send you through a quick 2-minute video instead of another email? Might make more sense."

**If no answer:** Leave voicemail, then send SMS:
> "Hey [Name], just tried calling — look, no pressure at all. If you're interested, here's my number. Cheers."

## 10. Partnership Tier

**Recommended: Reseller Partner**

| Tier | Commitment | Commission | Best For |
|------|------------|------------|----------|
| Referral | None | 20% | Part-time, testing |
| **Reseller** | **Sell 2+/mo** | **30%** | **Solo devs like this** |
| White-Label | Custom | 40%+ | Agencies with sales teams |

**Why Reseller fits:**

- They already have the client relationships
- 30% commission rewards their sales effort
- No minimums to start — they sell when it fits
- Can upgrade to White-Label later if they build a team

**Pitch:**
> "I'd put you on our Reseller tier — 30% commission, no minimums, you just sell when it makes sense. If you get to 10+ clients a month, we can talk about White-Label. But for now, you don't need to change anything. Just add the widget to your existing conversations."

## Quick Reference Card

**When they ask "How much work is this?"**
> "Zero. We handle the setup, the support, the lot. You make the sale, we do everything else."

**When they ask "What if my client cancels?"**
> "Then your commission stops — fair enough. But here's the thing: tradies who use this widget are making money from it. They don't cancel. Our churn is under 5%."

**When they ask "Can I set my own price?"**
> "No — we keep it simple with three tiers. But you can bundle it into your own packages and mark it up however you like. That's on top of your 30%."

**Closing line:**
> "You're already building websites for tradies who are losing calls every day. This is literally money for nothing. Let's try it with one client and see what happens."
