The verdict in three sentences
The Kolonell showcase pole pays 15% on sale plus 5% recurring on maintenance, and knowing how to compute it is what lets you sell the promise with confidence. Across the three 2026 tiers, sale commission ranges from 37,500 FCFA (Starter) to 180,000 FCFA (Premium). But the real surprise is the recurring share: compounded over 24 months, it often pushes client value beyond the initial commission.
The three showcase tiers and their commission
The showcase pole targets SMEs, artisans and independent professionals, with delivery in 5 to 15 days. Three levels, three tickets, one 15% rule.
| Showcase tier | 2026 price | 15% commission | Delivery time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (5 pages) | 250,000 FCFA | 37,500 FCFA | 5-7 days |
| Growth (+ blog + analytics) | 500,000 FCFA | 75,000 FCFA | 8-12 days |
| Premium (animations + SEO) | 1,200,000 FCFA | 180,000 FCFA | 12-15 days |
A partner signing a realistic mix of 2 Starter, 2 Growth and 1 Premium in a month collects 2 x 37,500 + 2 x 75,000 + 180,000 = 405,000 FCFA in sale commission.
The 5% recurring on maintenance
Monthly maintenance in 2026 sits between 50,000 and 200,000 FCFA depending on service level. You earn 5% of that amount each month, for every active client.
| Monthly maintenance | Recurring 5%/month | Over 12 months | Over 24 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50,000 FCFA | 2,500 FCFA | 30,000 FCFA | 60,000 FCFA |
| 100,000 FCFA | 5,000 FCFA | 60,000 FCFA | 120,000 FCFA |
| 150,000 FCFA | 7,500 FCFA | 90,000 FCFA | 180,000 FCFA |
| 200,000 FCFA | 10,000 FCFA | 120,000 FCFA | 240,000 FCFA |

Mini case study
Koffi, a partner in Accra, signs a Growth showcase for a pharmacy at 500,000 FCFA: immediate commission 75,000 FCFA. The client takes maintenance at 100,000 FCFA/month, i.e. 5,000 FCFA/month recurring for Koffi. After 24 months this single client has earned him 75,000 + (5,000 x 24) = 195,000 FCFA, 2.6 times the initial commission. With 10 clients of this profile, his recurring rent reaches 50,000 FCFA/month before the next signature.
