A BUSINESS YOU BUILD — NOT A JOB YOU TAKE

Build a book of business that pays $50k a month.

We hand you 100 sourced prospects a week, each already sitting on a finished site, growth plan and 20+ ads built for them. You take the call and close it — then recruit reps onto the same machine and earn an override on every deal they close.

THE OPPORTUNITY

For the first time, the work can be finished before anyone asks for it.

Meet Anna. She has no time to vet a growth vendor.

MOST OF HER WEEKInvestors, product, the ad account she already runs
HER LAST AGENCY$9k a month, a 3-week wait for the first call, weeks more for a site that looked like their last five clients’. She paid before anything existed and carried the risk.
VETTING A VENDORA call to take, a deck to sit through, a contract before proof
WHAT SHE HAS TIME FOROpening one link and looking at the finished thing
02 / 02

So we build it before we've spoken.

Nobody asked. It's already built, live at their own subdomain — the email below is the whole pitch. You take the call and close it.

Four of the eight already built, none of them asked for it. Showing up with the finished thing instead of a pitch is, for now, an unusual email to receive — and unusual is the whole advantage. How long that lasts is an open question — the numbers tell us, week by week.

How every build is made — and why this isn't everywhere yet+
60s
Onboarding under a minute
If someone can't get value in 60 seconds, they leave. Every build opens on the thing itself — no sign-up wall, no tour.
↻
Growth built in
The product should give users a reason to bring their friends, so the people using it do the marketing for you.
♥
Designed around basic desires
Curiosity, belonging, the wish to look good. Products built on those don't need to be explained.

Three things have to exist at once: build recipes worth sending, a pipeline that can deploy one per prospect, and someone willing to give the work away before a contract. Most agencies won't make that third choice — production time is what they sell.

A founder has seen a hundred pitch decks and ignored most of them. She has seen zero unsolicited, finished builds of her own brand. The pattern-match to "sales email" doesn't fire.

One thing breaks it: enough senders doing this that a finished build stops being unusual. We watch reply rates weekly — the day they slide is the day we change the opening, the segment or the offer.

What actually gets sent

REAL EXAMPLE — UNSOLICITED BUILD, NOT A CLIENT

Everyone else in this inbox is offering something and asking for a meeting to explain it. You're sending a finished build. Same prospect, same morning — here are both emails side by side.

WowCube makes a modular puzzle console. Nobody asked us to touch it — we built them a new site from scratch and put it live at wowcube.meetthedependables.com.

to anna@wowcube.com

Hi Anna — we help consumer brands scale with high-converting landing pages, creative testing and paid media.

We've driven strong results for brands in your space and I think there's a real opportunity for WowCube.

Would you be open to a quick 15-minute intro call this week to learn more about what we could do?

Best,
Alex

No link. Nothing to look at. The whole email is a request for time.

An offer to do work, and a meeting invite to hear about it. Anna gets a dozen of these a week and answers none of them.

to anna@wowcube.com

Anna — I work with Danilo, the agent behind meetthedependables; we build sites and growth plans for consumer brands. I liked WowCube enough that we just went ahead and built you one:

wowcube.meetthedependables.com

It's live. There's a growth plan, a week-one plan and 20+ ad concepts on there as well. Nothing behind a form.

If it's sharper than what you've got now, I'd take 20 minutes to walk you through it. If it isn't, tell me where it's wrong — genuinely useful either way.

Marcus

The work is the email. Nothing is asked for before she's seen it.

WHAT YOUR PROFILE SHOULD SAY

This is the only credential that matters when a founder clicks through: your name attached to real, live builds. No résumé needed, but the profile should hold up.

  • Headline: lead with what you're selling, not a job title ladder.
  • Already employed elsewhere? Keep that job as-is, and list this seat as Advisor rather than a second full-time role.

Illustration, not a real profile — the layout to copy, with names blanked out.

She opens the link and compares it to what she already has. That comparison, for four brands, is further down the page.

From there it's a normal sale: reply, 20-minute call, one-page proposal, signature. You run the relationship; we handle scope and delivery.

When a prospect asks what they'd actually run, the answer is already written — which is usually where the conversation turns to spend.

All 10 steps, the support stack, and how independent this gets+

Before the call

STEPS 01–04 · ZERO HOURS FROM YOU
01

No list, no sending, no sequence

Agents run outbound from our domains and from your own LinkedIn and email. Replies come to you, and you answer however you like — email, LinkedIn, text or a call.

02

Triage happens before you see it

Replies arrive sorted — interested, not now, not a fit — with a reply already drafted. Approve or edit.

03

Booking is a link

Scheduling, reminders, reschedules and no-show nudges all run themselves. You just show up.

04

Pre-call brief, auto-generated

Their build, their current site, what they opened, what they said, the likely objection, three questions to ask.

THE ONLY PART THAT IS YOURS

Twenty minutes, a human, a decision.

They've already seen the build. You handle the objection, agree the scope out loud, and ask for the signature.

After the call

STEPS 05–08 · YOU CLOSE THE LAPTOP
05

No note-taking

Recording becomes a transcript becomes action items, sent to both sides automatically.

06

The proposal is written for you

The scope and price are already in the packet they saw — the call just confirms it. We turn that into the contract, you never open a doc.

07

Follow-up runs itself

Recap the same day, a nudge at day 3 and day 7 — all drafted, all sent unless you say otherwise.

08

A new reason to follow up, weekly

Anyone still warm gets a fresh ad concept queued automatically. You send it and ask what they think.

Admin

STEPS 09–10 · NOTHING TO FILE
09

The CRM fills itself — you keep it current

Contacts, replies and meetings sync in from your email, LinkedIn and calendar. You move deals and add notes.

10

Commission statement is automatic

What's owed, on what, and the paid date — visible without asking anyone.

What we hand you

THE SUPPORT STACK

The build engine

The site, growth plan, week-one plan and 20+ ads for every prospect — built and deployed before you ever say a word to them.

A sourced, named queue

100 prospects a week with a decision-maker and contact route already attached — no list-building, no scraping.

Booking, triage and follow-up

Scheduling, reply sorting, recap notes and drafted follow-ups all run themselves — you show up for the call.

Training and playbooks

Onboarding, the opening lines that work, objection scripts, and a shared knowledge base of what's already been learned — you're not starting from a blank page.

Pay you can see

An automatic commission statement — what's owed, on what, and when it's paid.

How independent this gets

WHERE THIS DECOUPLES FROM ME

Sourcing

Reps find their own leads — their network, their niche, their region — instead of the weekly 100 we hand them. We supply the build engine, not the list.

Build tooling

No dashboard, no "ask Danilo to run it": a rep messages a WhatsApp number, an AI takes the prospect's name and site, and spins up their build itself. Want a different angle, a different page focus, another ad — just say so and it rebuilds.

Support

A shared knowledge base and Slack, not us personally triaging every reply — we stop being the bottleneck once the answers are written down once.

WHAT YOU GET — TRY IT

YOUR FIRST SIX WEEKS

How many you ping, and what it pays

Targets, not suggestions — we track your pace weekly against this ramp and tell you exactly where you're behind. Access Monday, first messages out the same day.

WEEK 1
40 messages, no closes expected

Read the builds cold, work the first 40 rows by hand, pick your two channels. The number that matters is messages sent.

WEEK 2
115 touches, first proposals

80 new plus week-1 follow-ups. ~24 replies, 6 calls — the first read on which opening line travels.

WEEK 3
First close, ~170 touches

Full 100 out plus follow-ups. Ten calls held. First account signed — about $1,250 a month to you, for a year.

WEEKS 4–6
Steady state, 190 touches a week

~30 replies, 12–14 calls, 4–5 proposals a week. One to two new accounts a week, each adding about $1,250 a month.

DAY 42
4–5 accounts paying you ~$5,000–6,250/mo

Roughly 900 touches against 600 sourced prospects (none built by you), ~55 calls held, 4–5 closes, and one proven opening message you keep reusing.

Who you're pinging+
  • Funded consumer and D2C brands where one person — founder or head of growth — owns the site and the ad budget.
  • Under about 60 people, raised in the last 18 months, already running paid ads, site clearly built fast.
  • Never enterprise, agencies or pre-revenue side projects: too many stakeholders or no budget.
  • Every row arrives with a named decision-maker and a contact route. If a row looks wrong, tell us and it goes.

What a deal pays

You get 25% of the profit on every account you close, for 12 months. Paid quarterly. No cap.

$2,500/mo profit → $7,500 over the year$5,000/mo profit → $15,000 over the yearPaid quarterly · stops if the client cancels
Who you can contact is tiered — how that works

Every seller and every prospect sits in a tier. New sellers start in the lowest tier, on smaller brands; the biggest companies are held for sellers who have already closed. You move up on results, and your dashboard always shows your tier and what it takes to reach the next one. Each prospect belongs to one seller at a time, so no one else can contact a company you've claimed.

One deal, then your own pace, then the pod on top — month by month below.

We expect most accounts to make between $2,500 and $7,500 a month in profit, which is where the $7,500–$22,500-a-year range comes from — that’s our estimate from pricing this work, not a track record from this seat. Nothing stops a bigger one.

The path to your own book of business

Targets we'd set together, not forecasts. Aggressive on purpose. The pod comes after your own closes: Team Lead is earned, never bought, and the override is paid only on customer profit — never on anything a seller pays us. Every number below comes from four assumptions, and you can check them against the calculator. Each account pays for 12 months, so the book holds as long as you keep closing.

Two readings of the same model. The aggressive one assumes you recruit from month two and your reps ramp the way you did; the typical one assumes recruiting starts when you're comfortable and reps ramp slower. Neither has been run yet — nobody has held this seat.

MONTH 1 — 1 CLOSE

Learn the builds, build the list

Know all eight well enough to describe them without notes. First target list of 100–150 companies. First 100 messages out.

MONTH 2 — 2–3 CLOSES

Find the message that lands, start referring people in

Keep the angle with the best reply rate. In parallel, name two or three people who'd be good at this — sourced the way you were.

MONTH 3 — RECRUIT

Your first four or five reps go live

Each one runs the same playbook, starting at month 1 of their own ramp. You earn 5% of the profit on every account they close — about $250 a month each, for a year — on top of your own share. Five reps closing one account each is $1,250 a month in override, for a year.

MONTH 4 — GROW THE POD

Eight reps on the team, coaching becomes the job

The first wave's early closes fund referrals for the next. Eight reps with 20 accounts between them is $5,000 a month in override, on top of your own $15,000. You review Fridays for the whole pod, the way we reviewed yours.

MONTH 5 — THE POD RAMPS

The pod is full, ramping toward 10 accounts each

Eight reps, each moving through the same six-month ramp you did. With 45 accounts between them that's $11,250 a month in override, and the earliest reps are already clearing $7k months of their own.

MONTH 6 — YOUR BOOK

$50k/month, from 104 accounts paying out at once

Eight reps with ten active accounts each is 80 accounts — $400k a month of client profit, $100k of it paid to them, $20,000 of it paid to you as override. Add your own 24 accounts at $1,250 each and the month is $50,000. A team number, built fast on purpose.

The full growth plan and pipeline model →

RECRUIT YOUR POD
Know someone who'd be good at this? Refer them.

You earn 5% of the profit on every account they close — about $250 a month each, for a year — from their first account on. This is step one of building the team above.

WHAT YOU PAY — PICK ONE

Pay the costs and keep more, or pay nothing and keep less.

Either way, nothing is ever taken out of your commission. You can switch plans at the start of any month.

Two calls no-show, one founder goes quiet after the proposal, two say the site is nice but they just hired an agency. There is no base to cushion it. In a ten-close month, one or two weeks look like this — the average is made of them.

What we change on the Friday: one variable, not five — the segment, the opening line, or the build we lead with. Then run it again for a week and compare.

We've worked on the growth side of consumer companies for about a decade — some of it well, one part of it very publicly badly. Both are why the work gets built before it gets sold.

We've watched enough good work die in decks. When a founder opens a new site for their own brand at a live URL, the conversation starts somewhere more useful.

WHERE THAT DECADE WENT
MAINSTREET
Founder. 70 people and $25M raised from Greylock, Khosla, Y Combinator and Tim Ferriss. It failed. We'd rather say that here than have you find it later — ask us about it on the call and we'll tell you exactly what we got wrong.
TABS
Growth and creative. Built and ran the paid creator program behind one of the most-recognised consumer brands on the internet.
PREHYPE
Entrepreneur in residence. Building new consumer companies from zero alongside operators doing it for the second and third time.
QUINTESSENTIAL
Early seat at the fund. Plus D2C launches for founders who had already built and sold a company.
HUSH
Growth work, not ours to claim as a founder. hushlullaby.com — personalised lullabies, 4.9 rating, growth strategy and paid acquisition we ran for them.

75M+ views/month

The paid creator program

Built and ran the paid creator program behind it — 10–20 creators on brand-owned accounts, 8 posts/week each, affiliate layered on top at 10–25% commission. Real reach, not a boosted post.

Questions

Is there really no base?+

No base or draw — you earn 25% of the profit on every account you close, for 12 months, paid quarterly and uncapped. There are costs to run the seat (activation, admin fee, subscription, your own Sales Navigator and Linked Helper), all listed under What you pay. Builds, inboxes and sending are on us.

When exactly do I get paid?+

Quarterly, on profit that has actually landed — not on signature, not on invoice, because collection is the only date we control. Each account pays out for 12 months and stops if the client cancels.

Do I build my own lead list?+

No. You get 100 sourced prospects a week, each with a named decision-maker and a contact route — the selection criteria are on the Growth Plan page. Bring us names you want added and we'll add them.

Can I get a package built for a specific prospect?+

Yes — the whole package, not just the site. Bring us a named company in your tier with a reachable decision-maker and a reason it's worth it. Realistically a few a week, not a few a day. Same goes for variants: tell us which warm prospects need a new angle and they go into the weekly build queue.

Who handles the work after the close?+

We do. You're not project-managing delivery. You stay on the relationship, which is where the next deal comes from.

What if the prospect wants a lower price?+

Bring it to us. We'd rather reshape scope than discount. You get 25% of the account's profit, so we're working the same direction — a smaller scope is a smaller cheque for both of us.

How much time does this take?+

Part-time works if the hours are consistent — roughly 10–15 focused hours a week. Sporadic doesn't.

Is this a job, and who handles my taxes?+

It's an independent-contractor engagement, not employment: no base, no set hours, no exclusivity, and you can keep working elsewhere. You file a W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (non-US) before the first payment and handle your own taxes, same as any 1099 contractor. Nothing is ever withheld or deducted from your commission — the tools you run (your own Anthropic key, your own sending tool) are your accounts with third parties, billed to you directly, cancel-anytime, and we take no cut of them. You can stop any time with no notice and no penalty.

What's in the seller agreement?+
DRAFT — NOT LEGAL ADVICE — FOR COUNSEL REVIEW

Seller Agreement

NILO1995 · INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

This agreement is between [Legal entity name] ("meetthedependables", "we") and the person signing below ("you"). It starts on the date you sign. Plain words are used on purpose; where a word could mean two things, the meaning that favours clarity wins.

1. You are an independent contractor

You are not an employee. There is no base pay, no set hours and no exclusivity — you may work for anyone else, including other sales programs. You decide how, when and where you work. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance and expenses; in the US we issue a 1099.

2. What we provide

Email inboxes on our domains, warmed up before use; sourced and verified lead lists matched to you; email and LinkedIn campaigns sent by our system; a CRM that records every send, reply and meeting; and finished builds (site, growth plan, ad concepts) for prospects. Replies are routed to you. You handle replies and meetings and close deals.

3. What you pay us

Activation — one-time, includes the first 2 months of campaigns$397
Subscription — from month 3; 3 inboxes and 500 leads a month$199 / month
Admin fee — from activation; setup, monitoring and support$150 / month
Optional extra leads — pack of 1,000 verified, or pay-as-you-go$99 / $0.12 each

Fees are billed through Stripe. You also keep your own LinkedIn Sales Navigator seat (Core or higher), paid directly to LinkedIn, and your own Anthropic API key for builds. We never deduct any fee from your commission.

4. What we pay you

Commission: 25% of each account's profit for 12 months on every deal you close (10% on the We cover everything plan), paid quarterly and only on money the client has actually paid. There is no cap.

Referral override: 5% of the profit on accounts closed by sellers you referred directly, for 12 months. One level only — never on sellers they refer. Paid from our margin, never from the referred seller's commission or fees.

Clawback: if the client's first payment is refunded or charged back within [30] days, the commission or override on it is reversed against your next payout.

5. Who you may contact

Every seller and every prospect is placed in a tier. You start in the lowest tier and may contact only prospects in the tiers open to yours; you move up on results, and your dashboard shows your tier and what it takes to reach the next. Each prospect belongs to one seller at a time, recorded as a claim. You will never contact our existing clients, past complaints, unsubscribes or anyone on our do-not-contact list. High-tier prospects receive approved templates only. Daily and weekly send limits apply. We log every block and exception.

6. LinkedIn

With your consent, we run LinkedIn outreach from your own account. The risks and your responsibilities are set out in the LinkedIn Risk Acknowledgment below, which forms part of this agreement.

7. Confidentiality and ownership

Prospect lists, builds, sequences, pricing and client information are confidential. Builds, data and the CRM belong to meetthedependables. You may use them only to sell under this agreement, and you stop using them when it ends.

8. Ending this agreement

Either side may end it at any time with [14] days' written notice (email is fine). Commission and overrides earned on client payments that clear before the end date are still paid. Your claimed prospects are released. Subscription and admin fees stop at the end of the current billing month. The activation fee is refundable within [14] days of payment if no campaign has been sent; after that it is not.

9. General

This is the whole agreement; changes must be in writing and accepted by both sides. Governed by the laws of [State]. If one part is unenforceable, the rest still applies.

PART OF THIS AGREEMENT — ACCEPTED IN SETUP

LinkedIn Risk Acknowledgment

In short
  • We send connection requests and messages from your LinkedIn account, for you, with your consent.
  • LinkedIn's rules restrict automation. LinkedIn can warn, restrict or ban your account, and we can't stop that.
  • We keep limits low and pause at the first warning. We never ask for your password.
  • You can disconnect LinkedIn any time; email outreach carries on without it.
  1. What we do. With your consent, meetthedependables runs connection requests and messages from your own LinkedIn account and Sales Navigator seat, on your behalf.
  2. The risk. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits or restricts automated activity. LinkedIn may warn, limit, restrict or permanently ban an account for it. We cannot prevent or reverse that.
  3. How we reduce it. Low daily limits; a warm-up ramp for new or inactive accounts; an automatic pause at the first warning sign; no scraping beyond your own saved searches and exports. We never ask for, see or store your password.
  4. Your part. Keep an active Sales Navigator Core (or higher) seat. Keep your profile accurate. Tell us immediately if LinkedIn warns or restricts you. Don't run other automation tools on the same account.
  5. If your account is restricted. We pause LinkedIn at once and email campaigns continue. Fees already paid are [not refunded / refunded pro rata]. meetthedependables is not liable for the loss of your account, connections or business that results.
  6. Your choice. You can withdraw consent and disconnect LinkedIn at any time from your dashboard. Email outreach continues without it.
I've read this and accept the risk to my LinkedIn account.

What do you do with my contacts?+

We match them against the brands on our list, so the people you already know show up first in your queue as warm intros. That's all. We never message a contact without your approval, we never share or sell them, and you can delete the import at any time. LinkedIn connections come through Linked Helper, Gmail through a read-only Google sign-in (names and addresses, never message bodies), and phone contacts from a file you upload — iMessage and WhatsApp don't let any tool read contacts directly.

How does the override work — and is it a pyramid scheme?+

Fair question, and the answer is in the mechanics. Joining costs a $397 activation, then $199 a month plus a $150 admin fee. That pays for the inboxes, leads and campaigns we run for you, not for a place in anyone's downline, and none of it goes to whoever referred you. The override is one level deep — you earn on reps you brought in, never on reps they bring in — and it's paid out of our margin on real client invoices, not out of anyone's pocket below you. Every dollar on this page traces back to a company paying for work delivered. You can also ignore recruiting entirely and just close: ten deals a month is $10k with no pod at all.

WHAT TRIGGERS IT
A rep you referred closes a client. You earn 5% of that account's profit for 12 months — $250 a month on an account making $5,000 — every account, with no cap and no tier.
WHEN IT PAYS
Same schedule as your own share: quarterly, on profit that has actually landed. It shows on the same statement, itemised by rep and deal.
WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
Our margin on the engagement — never your rep's 25%. Nobody under you is paid less because you're above them. If the margin can't carry it, we change the price to the client, not your rate.
HOW DEEP IT GOES
One level. You earn on the reps you brought in, not on reps they bring in. There is no second or third tier to chase, which is the whole reason this isn't a chain.
IF A DEAL REVERSES
If a client cancels, payouts on that account stop — for you and your rep. If a payment is refunded or charged back, the override on it comes off your next statement — same rule that applies to our own revenue.
IF A REP LEAVES
Override is per account closed while they're active. Accounts they've already closed keep paying out their 12 months; new accounts stop the day they stop. You don't inherit their accounts, and you're not charged for their exit.
Can I talk to someone already doing this?+

No — nobody has held this seat yet, so there are no earners to introduce you to and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can give you is checkable: the eight builds are live URLs you can open right now, hushlullaby.com is our own product you can buy from today, and before you sign anything we'll put you on a call with the founder of the DTC eyecare brand in the case studies as a named reference.

What if I close nothing?+

Then you earn nothing, and you've spent the hours for nothing. That's the honest downside and it's why week one exists: 50 messages, real replies, one call booked. If that doesn't happen we say so on the Friday rather than letting it drift for a quarter.

What happens after I apply?+

You get an answer within 5 hours, either way. If it's a fit we get in touch for a short conversation, then a trial week — the Week One page is exactly what that looks like — then a decision on the Friday.

APPLY — WE'RE HIRING

Eight taps and two short answers.

No résumé. We care whether you can get a founder to open a link and give you twenty minutes — and the multiple choice tells us how to pitch you a territory. You'll hear back within a few hours.

WHO THIS IS FOR
  • You've closed something before and can describe how.
  • You'd rather send finished work than a calendar link.
  • You want uncapped upside over a guaranteed floor.
  • You want weekly targets, and someone tracking your pace against them.
  • You'll get on a call with a founder, handle the objection and ask for the signature yourself.
  • You want to recruit and manage your own reps eventually — or you're happy staying an individual closer. Both are fine, the targets are just on your own closes either way.
WHO IT ISN'T FOR
  • Anyone who needs income this month — no base, no draw.
  • Anyone who wants to set their own pace with no one checking — we review your numbers every week and push if you fall behind.
  • Anyone uncomfortable sending outreach or getting on a call before a contract exists.

Tell us your background on the application — we use it to hand you the prospect segment you're best positioned to close.
