Growth Partnership SLA · Worldwide

Not an agency. Not a vendor.
Your dedicated online team.

The FAQ Growth Partnership SLA is for businesses that want consistent, professional online presence management — without hiring a full-time team. A fixed monthly retainer covers a defined scope of work. Choose your level of involvement. Scale as you grow. We work in your currency, in your market.

Most agencies spread thin across hundreds of clients. We work with fewer businesses so each one gets the attention it deserves.

Two Ways to Partner

The same commitment.
Two different models.

Both SLA partnerships share the same philosophy — FAQ becomes your dedicated online team. The difference is how we earn.

Retainer Only

SLA — Fixed Retainer

A defined monthly retainer covers a set scope of work — content, social media, product management, newsletters, and technical support. Predictable cost. Clear deliverables. Ideal for businesses that want consistent online presence management.

  • Fixed monthly fee in your local currency
  • Scope defined upfront — hours and deliverables agreed
  • All work tracked and reported monthly
  • Scale up the scope as your business grows
  • No commission component — retainer only
From entry level up to full-time team equivalent
Retainer + Commission

SLA — Retainer & Growth Share

For established businesses ready for deeper involvement. FAQ's work includes daily operational intelligence — evaluating processes, extracting content from how your business actually runs, managing leads, building your knowledge base. Retainer covers the time. Commission on sales above threshold means we share in the growth.

  • Monthly retainer covers agreed SLA hours
  • 1h/day operational involvement + monthly management session
  • 5% commission on net sales above agreed threshold
  • Retainer clients signed through FAQ's work tracked separately
  • FluentCRM lead attribution from day one
From R10,000/month retainer + 5% commission above threshold
Not sure which applies to you? Start with the Fixed Retainer to establish the working relationship and demonstrate value. Many partners transition to the Retainer + Growth Share model once the commission potential becomes clear. The fit call will tell us which is right for your situation.

How It Starts

From application to
active partnership — four steps.

01
Week 1

Application & Background Review

You submit the application. We review your business, online presence, and goals before we respond. If we see a genuine fit, we schedule a call. If we don't, we'll tell you directly — no time wasted on either side.

02
Fit Call

Scope & Plan Agreement

We discuss your needs, confirm the right plan level, and define the exact deliverables in writing. For Retainer + Growth Share partners, this includes agreeing the commission threshold and attribution model in FluentCRM. Nothing starts until the scope is signed.

03
Weeks 2–4

Onboarding — We Get to Work

Systems set up, channels connected, CRM configured, first content calendar planned. We do the heavy lifting in the first month so the ongoing rhythm is smooth and predictable for both sides.

04
Ongoing

Monthly Rhythm — Consistent & Measured

Agreed deliverables delivered, tracked and reported each month. Monthly check-in to review performance, adjust priorities, and plan ahead. The model compounds — the longer we work together, the more we know about what works for your specific audience.

Plain English T&Cs

No surprises.
Here's what matters.

Your data is yours. If you leave, once your account is settled you receive cPanel access to transfer your domain, database and code. What's yours stays yours.

2

Theme and plugin licensing. All themes and plugins used by FAQ (excluding any we specifically invoice you for) are owned by FAQ. If the contract ends, you'll need to licence them yourself for future updates.

3

12-month initial term. Early exit triggers a payout of remaining months with one calendar month's notice. After the initial term: month-to-month.
