The verdict in three sentences
Without a plan, a beginner partner burns out in three weeks; with a 90-day plan, they sign their first showcase site in month 3 and collect 75,000 FCFA. The method has three phases: learn the offer and build a list (month 1), fill the pipeline with meetings and demos (month 2), close (month 3). The tools are free: WhatsApp Business, a light CRM and Kolonell URL-params demos.
The month-by-month plan
Each month has a precise goal and metrics to track. You do not move to the next month before ticking the previous month's boxes.
| Month | Goal | Contacts | Meetings | Quotes | Signatures |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Training + 50-prospect list | 50 | 0-2 | 0 | 0 |
| Month 2 | Fill the pipeline | 40 | 10 | 3 | 0-1 |
| Month 3 | First sales | 40 | 12 | 5 | 2-3 |
After 90 days, the partner has a live pipeline, 2 to 3 signed clients and recurring income starting. It is the launch ramp of a lasting business.
The 90 days in detail
Month 1 — Learn and list. Master Kolonell's 4 poles and the scale (showcase 15 % + 5 %, e-commerce 12 %, marketplace 10 %, institutional 8 %). Build a list of 50 prospects: businesses with no site, restaurants, clinics, firms. Install WhatsApp Business and a free CRM.
Month 2 — Prospect. Contact 40 prospects, land 10 meetings, present 3 personalized URL-params demos. Send 3 quotes. Learn to handle price objections.
Month 3 — Close. Follow up, present demos, send 5 quotes, sign 2 to 3 showcase sites. Collect the first commission and kick off recurring maintenance contracts.
First commission and recurring
The first income arrives in month 3. Here is the typical 2026 projection for a partner who follows the plan.
| Item | Month 3 | Cumulative month 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Showcase sales | 2-3 | 8-10 |
| Sales commission | 150,000-225,000 FCFA | 150,000/month |
| Monthly recurring | 10,000-15,000 FCFA | 40,000-50,000 FCFA |
| Total income for the month | ~165,000-240,000 FCFA | ~200,000-260,000 FCFA |
Recurring, invisible at the start, becomes a stable base by month 6 and keeps growing as long as the partner feeds the pipeline.

Common mistakes to avoid
Neglecting the identification stage (the pipeline empties), aiming too high too soon (institutional before selling a showcase site), forgetting to follow up (50 % of sales happen after the 3rd contact), and not offering recurring maintenance (that passive income is what makes the difference over a year).
Mini case study
Khady, a student in Saint-Louis, follows the plan part-time.
- Month 1: 50 prospects listed, offer mastered.
- Month 2: 10 meetings, 3 demos, 3 quotes, 1 showcase signature → 75,000 FCFA.
- Month 3: 2 more signatures → 150,000 FCFA, plus 3 maintenance contracts at 100,000 FCFA/month → recurring 15,000 FCFA/month.
After 90 days, Khady has earned 225,000 FCFA in commissions and started 15,000 FCFA/month recurring, without dropping out of her studies.
