What's in it for Me?

How does MAMA help me get more clients?

MAMA acts as the strategic marketing lead for businesses, identifying their needs and assembling the right team of specialists to execute the strategy. When a client needs a service like web design, SEO, or video production, we recommend trusted partners like you. This means you’ll receive qualified leads who already understand the value of marketing—increasing your chances of securing new projects and clients.

Will I have to pay to join MAMA?

No, there’s no upfront cost or membership fee to join MAMA. Instead, it’s a mutually beneficial partnership. You provide your expertise when needed, and in return, MAMA brings you into projects where your services are required. We all grow together by sharing opportunities.

How often will I receive referrals from MAMA?

Referral volume depends on the specific client needs and the services you provide. Some partners receive steady, ongoing projects, while others may have periodic opportunities. MAMA’s goal is to maintain long-term relationships with both clients and partners, so as our client base grows, we continue to bring projects to our network. The better the collaboration, the more frequently we can work together.

Can I still work with my own clients outside of MAMA?

Absolutely! You remain an independent business, free to work with your own clients, pursue your own leads, and run your business as you see fit. MAMA simply becomes an additional source of qualified referrals and collaborative projects to help grow your business.

Will I have to follow MAMA’s pricing or offer discounts?

No. You maintain full control over your pricing. MAMA respects your expertise and the value you bring to clients. We’ll help position you as a key specialist within the broader marketing strategy, and we’ll collaborate on scope and budget based on what’s fair and competitive. Our goal is to ensure all partners are compensated appropriately for their services.

How does MAMA ensure I get paid for my work?

MAMA oversees the client relationship and project management, ensuring scopes of work, timelines, and payments are clearly defined. We communicate expectations upfront, advocate for our partners, and ensure you’re paid fairly and on time. Our priority is to create smooth, transparent collaborations where everyone wins.

What types of projects will I be involved in?

It depends on your expertise. MAMA works with a wide range of clients who need everything from website design, SEO, and content creation to branding, video production, email marketing, and social media management. As projects arise that match your skills, we’ll bring you in as the go-to expert, helping you build a steady stream of relevant work.

What’s the benefit of being in a marketing alliance rather than working alone?

As part of MAMA, you’re no longer working in isolation—you’re part of a trusted network of professionals who collaborate to deliver comprehensive marketing solutions. This expands your reach, builds credibility with clients, and opens doors to new opportunities you might not have access to on your own. Together, we share resources, referrals, and expertise.

Will I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. Joining MAMA is a flexible arrangement, and there are no binding long-term contracts. You’re free to accept projects as they come and to step back when needed. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on mutual respect and opportunity—not lock you into rigid agreements.

Do I have to be exclusive to MAMA?

No. You’re free to work with other clients, agencies, or partnerships. MAMA is an additional source of opportunity—not a restriction. We encourage you to grow your business however you see fit, and we simply aim to be a valuable part of your network.

How does MAMA’s marketing strategy help me as a service provider?

MAMA provides the big-picture strategy, so you don’t have to. Instead of working on disconnected or unclear projects, you’ll know how your work fits into the client’s overall marketing goals. This clarity helps you deliver more impactful results and positions you as a key contributor to the client’s success—not just a task-taker.

Will I have to manage the client relationship directly?

No—MAMA acts as the primary point of contact with the client, managing communication, strategy, and deliverables. You’ll focus on doing what you do best—delivering your expertise—while MAMA ensures the client stays informed, engaged, and satisfied.

How does the referral commission system work?

When you refer a client to MAMA for strategic marketing leadership, you’ll earn a percentage of MAMA’s recurring revenue—providing a passive income stream. Likewise, if MAMA brings in a client who needs your services, you have the option to offer a referral commission to MAMA. This creates a mutually beneficial financial model where everyone is incentivized to support one another’s success.

Will MAMA promote my services?

Yes! MAMA actively promotes partner services through co-branded content, social media, webinars, and workshops. By showcasing your expertise as part of a larger marketing strategy, MAMA helps position you as a trusted resource—increasing your visibility and authority in the market.

What’s the biggest benefit of working with MAMA?

The biggest benefit is that you’re not just a vendor—you’re part of a collaborative, strategic team focused on helping clients grow. You’ll receive qualified leads, enjoy consistent work opportunities, earn referral income, and be part of a supportive network that helps you grow your business while delivering better results for clients. Together, we create a win-win ecosystem where everyone succeeds.
