The verdict in three sentences
Being a web referral partner requires no technical skill: your job is to spot a need and introduce the contact, not to write code. Kolonell qualifies, quotes, builds, delivers and handles support — you earn 8 to 15% depending on the project, plus 5% recurring. With a 5-question script, ready-made quote templates and a one-day training, you are operational carrying no financial risk.
Your role vs a technical freelancer's
Many believe you must code to sell web. False: the two jobs are distinct. The partner opens the door, the agency executes. Here is the clear split of responsibilities.
| Task | Partner (you) | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|
| Spot the need | Yes | — |
| Introduce the contact | Yes | — |
| Technical qualification | Help with first sort | Yes |
| Quote and pricing | Template provided | Yes |
| Building the site | No | Yes |
| Payment and invoicing | No | Yes |
| Support and maintenance | No | Yes |
| Collecting the commission | Yes (Wave) | — |
You sell a result ("your online store that collects via Wave"), not a technology. That is exactly a good network sales rep's turf, not an engineer's.
The 5-question qualification script
No need to improvise. Five questions are enough to tell whether a contact is a real prospect and which pole they belong to. You ask them, pass us the answers, we take over.
| # | Question to ask | What it reveals |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Do you already have a site or page? | Redesign vs creation |
| 2 | Do you sell products online? | Showcase vs e-commerce |
| 3 | How many vendors / brands? | E-commerce vs marketplace |
| 4 | Roughly what budget? | Tier and lead seriousness |
| 5 | By when do you need it? | Urgency and priority |
With those answers in hand, you already know whether it is a showcase at 15% commission or an e-commerce at 12%, and you hand us a clean lead.

Ousmane, a real-estate agent in Dakar, has never written a line of code. Every week he meets merchants with no website. He asks his 5 questions and passes 4 contacts in the month: 3 showcases and 1 e-commerce. Result: 3 × 60,000 + 96,000 = 276,000 FCFA in sales commission, plus the recurring starting up. His only investment: a few conversations and one day of training.
