How it works

From application to your first payout.

  1. Apply below

    It takes two minutes. Tell us who you reach and how.

  2. Corey reviews it

    Every application gets a human review. You hear back by email within 48 hours.

  3. You get your partner ID

    The approval email links to your partner dashboard. Your partner ID is the six-character code shown there, and it is the code in your referral link.

  4. Get into the Field Kit

    Email Corey your partner ID and the Google account you will sign in with. He adds you to the Field Kit, the tablet app Forge sells with.

  5. Visit owners

    Show an owner where they stand on Google, let them hear a receptionist answer, then take payment or start the 7 day free trial on the spot. Those carry your partner ID.

  6. Get paid

    25% of each customer’s monthly plan fee, every month they stay and pay, on the 15th through Stripe Connect.

The arithmetic

Your share of every plan, drawn to scale.

You earn 25% of each customer’s monthly plan fee. The plan fee does not include usage past the plan’s minutes, sales tax or one-time fees. Here is that share on each published Forge Voice plan.

Starter$297 a month

$74.25a month to you, while they pay

Pro$497 a month

$124.25a month to you, while they pay

Scale$897 a month

$224.25a month to you, while they pay

Ten Pro accounts pay you $1,242.50 a month while all ten stay. That is arithmetic on the published prices, not a forecast. What you earn depends entirely on what you sell, and nothing is earned during a free trial.

What you get

Everything you need to sell it well.

25% for as long as they pay

Every month a customer pays Forge for their plan, you earn 25% of the plan fee. No cap on accounts, and no end date while they stay and pay, even if you stop partnering, unless the agreement ends for cause.

The Field Kit

The tablet app Forge sells with: suggested businesses near you, the owner’s Google results, a demo where they hear a receptionist answer, and checkout or a free trial on the spot. Where and when you use it is up to you.

Credit for your sales

Payments and free trials you take in the Field Kit are credited to you automatically. Online, your referral link holds your code for 90 days, and the first partner link a visitor clicks keeps the credit.

A partner dashboard

Your partner ID, your links, a pipeline for the businesses you are working, your accounts and your payouts.

A live demo line

Hand any owner (706) 981-6655 and let them hear Forge Voice answer.

A playbook and sales kit

How a visit goes, the talk track, honest answers to the common objections, a leave-behind, a pitch deck, emails and social posts.

Monthly payouts

Paid on the 15th of each month through Stripe Connect, for customer payments received before the 1st. No minimum. Stripe asks for your tax ID before your first payout.

Door to door, your own network, an agency client list: tell Corey how you plan to find owners.

Corey replies by email within 48 hours. Questions first? Email partners@forgedev.studio.

Questions

Questions partners ask first.

What do I sell?

Forge Voice, an AI receptionist that answers a business’s phone 24/7 and takes down each caller’s details and appointment request for the owner to confirm. Plans are $297, $497 and $897 a month, and every Voice plan has a 7 day free trial. In the Field Kit you can also sell Forge websites, from $397 a month. Current plans are on the pricing page.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. There is no fee, no quota and nothing to buy.

How and when am I paid?

You earn 25% of the monthly plan fee each customer you refer pays Forge, for as long as they keep paying, paid on the 15th of each month through Stripe Connect. Each payout covers customer payments received before the 1st of that month, and there is no minimum. Stripe asks for your tax ID or a W-9 before your first payout, and commission is held until you give it. Details are in the partner terms.

What happens during a free trial, or after a refund?

Nothing is earned during a 7-day free trial, because the customer pays nothing. No commission is earned on money that is refunded. If a customer disputes a charge, the commission on it is held until the bank decides. When a customer stops paying, commission on that account stops.

What is my partner ID, and how do I get into the Field Kit?

Your partner ID is the six-character code on your partner dashboard, and it is the code in your referral link. Email it to Corey with the Google account email you will sign in with, and he adds you to the Field Kit at forgedev.studio/field. From then on, the payments and free trials you take in the Field Kit carry your partner ID.

What if I stop partnering?

If you leave, or Forge ends the agreement without cause, you keep earning on the customers you already referred for as long as each one stays and pays. If Forge ends it for cause, such as fraud, self-referral, spam or false claims about Forge, earning stops on the date of the notice.

Am I a Forge employee?

No. Partners are independent contractors paid on a 1099. You choose your own hours, methods, and places to work. Forge sets no quotas, schedules, or territories. Field Kit lists and briefs are suggestions only. You may work for others. You pay your own costs. You earn only on the accounts you bring in yourself; there is no pay for recruiting other partners.
