Referral links
Turn trusted recommendations into a channel you can track.
Referral links work when the person sharing them already has your buyer's trust, not when you spray them into cold traffic.
TL;DR
- 01
A referral link carries the trust of whoever shares it: a consultant, a customer, a peer in the industry.
- 02
B2B SaaS referral commissions range from flat bounties to a recurring share of revenue.
- 03
You need recurring commission tracking and an attribution window as long as your sales cycle.
- 04
Uppercut recruits publishers for B2B SaaS affiliate programs, then tracks and pays them. The software is free because recruiting is the product.
Referral links vs affiliate links
Customer referrals reward existing users for telling people they know. Affiliate links go to people who promote for a living, like bloggers, consultants and publishers, and earn a commission on the audience they bring.
What B2B SaaS needs from tracking
A unique link per partner, attribution that lasts until signup, and recurring commission on subscriptions. A proper billing integration matters more than coupon-code workarounds.
Commission structures
Flat bounties suit cheaper products. A recurring share keeps partners invested in retention. Model either one against margin and payback before you publish the offer.
Launch without a dev sprint
Add a tracking script, connect billing, set the commission rules, and recruit partners who already reach your buyer. Uppercut's free plan also gives you 30 days in a hand-reviewed B2B network.
Set the deal. We'll go get the affiliates.
