Partner Program

Earn every month on the contractors you already serve

Point a contractor our way. When he signs up, we pay you a share of what he pays us — every month, for as long as he stays a customer. It costs nothing to join, there is nothing to sell, and nothing for your counter staff to learn.

Two o’clock on a Tuesday, and a new customer is calling a contractor who is under a house.

How it goes now

He cannot answer.

By the time he is back in the truck, that customer has already called the next name on the list.

He never knows what it cost him.

How it goes with his systems running
  1. 2:00 The call is answered in his business name. The address and the problem are taken, and the job is booked.
  2. 2:01 A text goes back to the caller before he is out from under the house.
  3. 6:40 The estimate goes out that evening.
  4. Thu The follow-up goes without him remembering to send it.
  5. Done The deposit is collected, and a week later the review is asked for.

He never stopped working.

Where all of it lands

Not one of those five things needed him — and not one of them is lost, either. Every system reports into the same screen. It is called the Hut, and it is the office: the phone, the schedule, the money and the paperwork, in one place instead of five.

CallsWho called, what they wanted, and which job it became.
Jobs & scheduleWhat is booked, who it is for, and what is still loose.
EstimatesWhat went out that evening, and what came back signed.
Invoices & paymentsWhat was quoted, what was collected, what is still owed.
Crew timeWho clocked in, where they were, and for how long.
ComplianceLicenses, insurance and warranties, before any of them lapse.

Needs you. One screen holds the short list of things only he can answer, so twenty-eight systems running never turns into twenty-eight things to check.

And it goes in his pocket. Once his account is made, the Hut asks to go on his phone’s home screen — there is nothing to hunt for in an app store, and his crew installs nothing at all.

Twenty-eight systems. He takes the ones that fit his trade, pays one flat monthly price with no contract, and we set them up for him. Everything his own customers see carries his business name, not ours.

How it runs

Three steps, and only the first is yours

  1. You introduce us

    A card, a word at the counter, or an email with his name on it. That is the whole job.

  2. We do the rest

    We work out which systems fit his trade, build them, set them up, support him and bill him. You are never in the middle of it.

  3. You get paid every month he stays

    Not once — every month, for the life of the account, with a statement that shows the math.

The deal

How you are paid

20% of what that contractor pays us for software, every month, for as long as he stays a customer. Not a one-time finder’s fee and not a first-year bonus — the same share in year three as in month one.

Nothing is added to his bill because he came from you. He pays what anyone pays; your share comes out of ours.

One-time setup is not split, because it covers work we do once at cost and there is nothing recurring in it to share.

The first commission on an account is paid once that account’s 14-day refund window has closed. We pay on money we keep.

One real package
Plumber Pro, 8 systems$492 / mo
Your share, month 1$98
Month 12$98
Month 36$98
Over a year$1,180

A real bundle at its real price, not a round number — the same figures the letter quotes. What a contractor pays depends on the systems he takes, and we go through his on the call.

Every month, in writing

You should never have to take our word for what you are owed

On the first business day of each month you get a statement listing every account you introduced, what it paid, your percentage and your total — paid by check or transfer, whichever you prefer.

Partner statement · example March
Hollis Plumbing & Drain$492.00$98.00
Redmond Heating & Air$474.00$95.00
Barrett Electric$225.00$45.00
Paid to you$238.00

Example figures. Your own statement names the real accounts and the real amounts.

What you never have to do

  • Sell it, demonstrate it, quote it or close it
  • Carry stock, or put a dollar in up front
  • Handle a support call — he calls us
  • Bill anyone, or chase anyone for money
  • Train your counter staff on anything
  • Take responsibility for the software

The questions we usually get

Do I have to sell it? No. An introduction is the whole of it — nothing to demonstrate, quote or close.
What if my customer has trouble? He calls us. Support never lands on your counter.
Am I on the hook for anything? No. You are not reselling it, billing it, or responsible for it.
What does it cost me? Nothing, ever. Free to join is how the program is built, not an introductory offer.
Can my name be on it? Possibly — tell us what you have in mind. Some partners want to be invisible and some want it presented as theirs, and those are different arrangements.
How do I get paid? Check or transfer, monthly, your choice. We send a W-9 to fill out when you are approved, and a 1099-NEC in January if you were paid $600 or more.

Where we are, honestly

We are new, and we would rather show you than tell you. Pick one contractor you deal with and we will set his systems up at no charge. Watch what it does for his business for a month. If nothing comes of it, you are out one phone call.

The two rules

One. When you recommend us, tell your customer you are paid for it. One sentence — “I get a cut if you sign up” — is enough. The Federal Trade Commission requires it, and your customer deserves to hear it from you.

Two. There is never a charge to participate. If anybody ever asks you to pay to be part of this program, it is not us.

Teach the trades? The same program works for schools

If you run a trade program — a high school shop class, a technical college, an apprenticeship — this works the same way, and it starts before anybody owes anybody anything.

  • Your students get the Trade School free. Not a discount — the courses are free with any ToolHut account, and always were. Estimating, pricing a job, reading a contract, getting paid.
  • You get curriculum you did not have to write, on the business side of the trade that most programs have no time for.
  • When a graduate goes out on his own and sets his business up with us, your school earns on that account every month, for as long as he stays — the same share, the same statement, the same payment as any other partner on this page.
  • It costs the school nothing, and there is nothing for an instructor to sell. A code on the board is the whole of it.

Tell us about your program when you apply and we will set it up as a school rather than a counter — same agreement, same terms.

Start with one contractor and see what happens.

Apply to carry a code, and we will set up a free build for one of your accounts.
