No base stipend. Your earnings are entirely tied to what you actually produce — sign-ups, retentions, and the long-term health of your territory.

Monthly quota gate — must hit before any payout unlocks
You need to sign at least 2 businesses per month before any payout processes. This is the job — if you're not signing businesses, you're not stewarding. The gate protects the integrity of the role and ensures every active Steward is genuinely moving the platform forward.

The core of the job. Walk in, have the conversation, get the signup. In-person visits close at 3× the rate of digital outreach — the best Stewards show up in person.

Recurring📅
6-month retention bonus
$20 per business still active at 6 months
Paid once in month 7 for every business you signed that is still active. This aligns your incentive perfectly with platform health — signing the right businesses, not just the most businesses.
30-day hold: paid in month 7 (not month 6) to confirm continued activity. Protects against churn-and-collect.
No cap · scales with your active portfolio
Recurring🎂
12-month anniversary bonus
$30 per business at 12 months · $20 at 24 months
When a business you signed renews at 12 months, you earn $30. At 24 months, $20. Small per-business numbers that compound fast on a mature portfolio.
Completely reframes your relationship from "close and move on" to "close and keep."
No cap · highest value from a mature book

Bonus🆕
Town launch bonus
$200 per new town opened (first 5 businesses)
When you open a brand new town — sign the first 5 businesses in a community that had zero FPL listings — you earn a $200 launch bonus.
Each new town opened is worth far more than $200 in lifetime platform revenue. This is priced to motivate, not to fully compensate.
Per new town · no limit on towns
Passive🔗
Add-on MRR pass-through
5% of add-on revenue from your territory
When businesses in your territory purchase à la carte add-ons (photo gallery, specials module, booking link, review response), you earn 5% of that monthly add-on revenue automatically.
A territory with 20 businesses averaging $15/month in add-ons generates $15/month passive for the Steward.
