Host: Whenever you look at a partner program or some kind of referral setup, people always get bogged down in these massive, complicated charts. But for myOrbit, the whole thing actually boils down to one sentence: a partner is paid when a business pays for something it actually uses.

Listener: That sounds almost too simple. I mean, usually there’s a catch or some complex tier system. Are you saying there’s no fee just for getting people to sign up for the program itself?

Host: Exactly. There is no payout triggered just because another person joins the program. Every single cent traces back to a real business subscription. A company signs up, picks a plan, and stays on it. If that business leaves, the payout stops. It's built this way because if you pay for just 'signatures' or 'motion' instead of actual utility, the program eventually runs out of steam.

Listener: So it’s tied to the customer actually sticking around. That makes sense. But what does the 'work' actually look like for a partner? Is it just sales?

Host: It’s actually three distinct types of work. The first is what you're thinking of—the introduction. You sit down with a business owner, show them how myOrbit can run their operation, and they subscribe. You get a success fee based on the size of the plan they commit to. Bigger commitment, bigger piece of work.

Listener: Okay, that’s the classic 'sales' part. What are the other two?

Host: The second is support. This is where a lot of programs drop the ball. You stay in that business's orbit as their local contact—the person who answers the phone when they're confused or shows them a new feature. As long as you’re serving that account, you share in the subscription. If you stop doing the work, the share goes wherever the work went.

Listener: I like that. It’s not just a one-time 'find them and forget them' thing. It rewards the relationship. And the third?

Host: The third is training. You help a new partner find their feet—sitting in on their demos, answering their questions in the training channel. But here’s the kicker: you don’t get a 'bounty' just because they signed up. You get paid when the businesses *that partner* serves start thriving. It’s a slower process, but it’s more honest. It only pays out if the person you trained is actually good and their customers stay.

Listener: That sounds like a lot of moving parts to track. Where does all this money actually go? Is there a dashboard or something?

Host: It all lands in your Echo. If you're a partner, you already have an Echo—it's what holds your community and your avatars. You just link a bank account to it, and it becomes the rail the money runs on. One place to look, one account. Just keep in mind, it arrives net of taxes and processing costs. The report is very clear about that—what leaves a customer’s card is never the exact amount that arrives in your pocket, and they don't want any 'unpleasant surprises' later.

Listener: Wait, I noticed you haven't mentioned any actual numbers. No percentages, no dollar amounts. Is that a secret?

Host: It’s a deliberate choice. First, because the legal Partner Agreement is the only 'authority of record.' If they put a number in an essay and then the agreement changes, the essay becomes a lie. But more importantly, a flat number would be fiction. Your payout depends on how many hours you put in and how well those businesses hold up. It's proportional to the actual work.

Listener: So if I actually want to see the rates, where do I go?

Host: Start with the Partner Program page in the doc—it outlines the roles and what a typical week looks like. Then, check the actual agreement inside the app. It’s short, written in plain English, and it’s the final word on how you get paid. The rest is just you walking into a business you know and showing them a better way to work.
