Referring web projects with zero tech skills (2026)

Digital Marketing

The verdict in three sentences

You sell an outcome, not a technology. Your kit fits in three tools: a demo link personalized with the prospect's name, an online quote, and WhatsApp. You qualify the budget, hand a warm lead to Kolonell, and collect 8 to 15 % of the contract without ever touching code or carrying any delivery risk.

The only three tools you need

Forget technical skills: your job is commercial and relational. Here is your complete toolbox.

ToolWhat it's forCost to you
Personalized demo linkShow the site with the prospect's name/logo0 FCFA (provided by Kolonell)
Online quoteInstantly price by division0 FCFA (provided by Kolonell)
WhatsAppProspect, follow up, hand off the lead0 FCFA
One-page pitchSum up benefits + price + proof0 FCFA

No paid software, no technical training: delivery know-how stays with Kolonell, you stay on the sales side.

The 5-step referral process

From first conversation to payout, it all fits in five simple moves.

StepActionTypical duration
1. SpotIdentify a merchant with no site or an outdated one5 min

You never intervene after step 4: Kolonell takes over the final quote, production and technical follow-up.

The objection-handling cheat sheet

Three objections always come up. Here's the short answer to give on the spot.

ObjectionYour answer
"It's too expensive""One new client pays for the site; we start at 250,000 FCFA, payable in two installments."
"I know nothing about this""Exactly, you touch nothing: the agency does everything, you just approve."
"I already have a Facebook page""Facebook rents you a window; a website you own, and it shows up on Google."

Mini case study

Need a professional website?

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.

Aminata, a fabric seller at HLM market in Dakar, knows nothing about code. In 2026 she sends a demo named "Chez Aminata Tissus" over WhatsApp to five neighboring vendors. Three are interested, two sign showcase sites at 400,000 FCFA. Commission: 2 × 60,000 = 120,000 FCFA, plus recurring. Her only investment: ten WhatsApp messages and two shared coffees. The code, design and go-live? Entirely handled by Kolonell.

FAQ

Do I really need zero technical skill?

Yes. Your role is to spot, show the demo and qualify the budget. All production — design, code, payments, go-live — is done by Kolonell.

What commission can I expect without being a technician?

The same as any partner: 15 % on a showcase site, 12 % e-commerce, 10 % marketplace, 8 % institutional, plus 5 % recurring.

How do I show a site that doesn't exist yet?

Kolonell gives you a demo link you personalize with the prospect's name and color in seconds. The prospect projects themselves immediately.

What if the prospect asks a technical question I don't understand?

You say "great question, let me connect you with the technical team" and hand off the lead. Never improvise a technical answer.

How long until my first commission?

Often 2 to 4 weeks: the time to qualify a prospect, for Kolonell to close, and for the first deposit to be collected.
