Kellstar Corp — Partners
The longer they commit, the more you take home.
For independent reps and contractors who sell rather than refer. Paid on what closes — nothing for meetings, and we'd rather say that plainly than promise money we can't fund yet. What we do pay climbs steeply with the commitment: 20% of a prepaid service year, or 10% of a prepaid agency year — which on the entry engagement is $8,874, in one payment.
Services: 10% monthly rising to 20% on a prepaid year · Agency: 5% rising to 10% — on far bigger numbers
01 How it pays
Paid on close.
Paid most when
they pay upfront.
There is no meeting fee. Kellstar can't fund one yet, and a comp plan that promises money it can't pay is worse than one that promises less. What there is instead is a rate that climbs steeply with the commitment — because a prepaid year is cash in hand with no churn risk, and that is worth sharing with whoever went and got it.
Why month to month is the weak one. You're paid 10% of each month as the client pays it, for up to twelve months. If they leave in month three, that's where it stops. The same client on a prepaid year pays you once, immediately, and more than twice as much even if the monthly client had stayed the whole way.
02 Every service, every term
What you'd
actually be paid.
Real prices, pulled from the same file the checkout charges from. The monthly column is what you earn per month and only while they stay; the other three are a single payment, the month the client pays.
The accelerator
03 One-off work
No term to
choose.
Sold once, paid once. Websites and consultations sit at the bottom on purpose — a $300 site is a few days of Kell's time and there is no room in it for more. Sell them as the way into a conversation about being found, or about pipeline, which is where the money is for both of us.
04 Where the money is
One good deal
beats a month
of small ones.
Same work, wildly different outcomes. Every figure is computed from the table above, not an illustration.
What this means for your week. Chasing website builds and consultations is the lowest-paid way to spend it, and we'd rather be honest about that than let you find out in month two. Sell those when they're the way into something bigger — a business that needs a site usually needs to be found, too, and that conversation is where the money is for both of us.
05 When you get paid
Short, and
all of it.
And the parts that aren't in your favour
There is no meeting fee. You are not paid for booking, for pitching, or for a deal that nearly happened. If nothing closes in a month, nothing is owed for that month. That is the honest shape of this until Kellstar can fund something better, and it will be said here the day it changes.
A month-to-month client can leave. Your 10% stops with them. This is the single biggest reason to spend the conversation getting to a term rather than getting to a yes.
A deal is paid once. If you are also a referrer and a client arrives through your link and your work, it pays under one of the two — whichever is worth more to you — not both.
06 Apply
Tell us what
you sell.
There's no headcount to fill and no quota. What matters is whether you can get decision-makers into a room — if you already sell to small business owners, you're most of the way there.
07 Straight answers
Before you
apply.
No. You'd be an independent contractor: your own hours, your own methods, your own tax. There's no base, no quota and no exclusivity — you can sell other things alongside this. What you get is a published rate card and a dashboard that shows what you're owed.
Either. Set the meeting and hand it over and you still earn the full commission if it lands — you don't lose anything by not running the call yourself. If you'd rather run it end to end, that works too, and on the bigger engagements it usually closes better that way.
On a month-to-month client, your 10% stops when they do — but nothing already cleared is ever clawed back. On a prepaid term it doesn't arise: the client has already paid for the whole period, so your commission was calculated on money that is already in. That asymmetry is deliberate, and it's the argument for selling the term.
Referrals are passive — share a link, take a flat 10% of anything that closes through it, no application needed. Partnering is active: you're working the deal, so the rate climbs with the term you bring in — up to 20% on services, and up to 10% of an agency year, which is the biggest single payout here by some distance. You can do both, but a single deal is paid once, under whichever is worth more to you.
Yes — that's what the dashboard is for. Every deal you've closed, what term it was on, what you earned, and what's cleared the 30-day hold. You can log meetings there too: they're not paid, but it means Kell knows what's coming and can help you close it.
