A complete breakdown of the partner economics — what you invest, what you earn, and exactly how this program becomes a self-funding profit center.
Your monthly partner management fee funds the entire operation — building your branded program, running the system, managing everything behind the scenes.
One flat monthly fee (6-month initial commitment, then month-to-month). No per-contractor charges. No setup fees passed to your contractors.
This fee covers everything HMG does on your behalf — every website built, every automation configured, every ad campaign managed, every support conversation handled. It also covers the technology platform, the program branding, and Jason Pillsbury's direct involvement in every contractor account that goes live.
Your contractors pay $0 to get started. The management fee absorbs the cost of onboarding new contractors, which removes the single biggest barrier to enrollment. When a contractor hears "no setup fee," they are far more likely to say yes — and every yes adds to your monthly revenue share.
With just 8 contractors on the system, the program covers your management fee. Everything after that is profit.
Your logo, your company name, and your program name on the program website, enrollment page, and all marketing materials. You name the program. HMG stays invisible.
Professional contractor websites built from scratch for every enrolled contractor — 5-page templates, premium layouts, or fully custom-coded sites depending on tier.
Full CRM configuration with custom pipeline stages, automated stage-based follow-up sequences, and lead tracking for every contractor account.
All SMS, email, and workflow automations — lead follow-up, missed call text-back, review requests, appointment reminders, and pipeline nurture sequences.
Full creation, management, and optimization of Facebook, Instagram, and Google Search ad campaigns for Growth and Market Leader contractors.
AI appointment booking bot setup, training, and management. Weekly AI lead intelligence reports generated and delivered for Market Leader accounts.
All contractor questions, technical issues, and system adjustments handled directly by HMG. You are never in the middle of a support conversation.
The entire GoHighLevel technology stack — hosting, SMS and email infrastructure, CRM platform, phone system, web chat, analytics, and reporting.
Every new contractor is personally onboarded by Jason Pillsbury. Business intake, strategy session, system configuration, and launch — handled for you.
Ongoing monitoring, optimization, and maintenance across every active contractor account. Ad performance, automation health, pipeline audits — managed monthly.
One-time configuration of your Stripe account for automatic revenue share deposits. Every contractor payment splits automatically — no invoicing required.
HMG handles the sales conversation with every referred contractor — walkthrough, tier selection, and enrollment — invisibly, under your brand.
To staff this internally, you would need a web developer, a marketing manager, a CRM administrator, an ad specialist, and a support rep. At $3,000/month, HMG replaces all five — plus the technology platform — under one flat fee with no hiring, no training, and no overhead.
Your $3,000/mo management fee (6-month initial commitment, then month-to-month) is a fixed cost. Your revenue share grows with every contractor enrolled. With just 8 contractors on the Market Leader system, the program covers your fee. Everything after that is profit.
The economics of this program are designed to reward momentum. The management fee stays flat at $3,000/mo regardless of how many contractors are active. But your revenue share scales linearly — every new contractor adds to your monthly income.
In the early months, the program is an investment. You are building your contractor base, introducing the program, and letting HMG onboard and launch accounts. During this phase, your revenue share is growing but has not yet offset the management fee.
With just 8 contractors on the Market Leader system, the program covers your management fee. Your revenue share offsets the $3,000 fee, and every contractor after that is pure profit added to your bottom line.
Every contractor beyond that adds to your bottom line. At 25 contractors you're generating nearly $10,000/mo in revenue share — and this does not account for the additional material revenue these growing contractors generate for your core business.
| Market Leader Contractors | Revenue Share | Net After Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 5 contractors | $1,997/mo | −$1,003/mo |
| 8 contractors | $3,195/mo | +$195/mo |
| 10 contractors | $3,994/mo | +$994/mo |
| 15 contractors | $5,991/mo | +$2,991/mo |
| 20 contractors | $7,988/mo | +$4,988/mo |
| 25 contractors | $9,985/mo | +$6,985/mo |
| 35 contractors | $13,979/mo | +$10,979/mo |
| 50 contractors | $19,970/mo | +$16,970/mo |
Based on Market Leader tier ($1,997/mo, 20% share = $399.40/contractor). Mixed tiers will vary — Growth contractors contribute $299.40/mo and Foundation contractors contribute $99.40/mo toward the total.
The question is not whether the program pays for itself — it is how fast. A supply yard with an active contractor network and a good introduction process can reach breakeven within the first 6–12 months. After that, every month the program runs is a month it generates profit on top of your management fee — automatically, with no additional work from your team.
The 20% revenue share is the most visible return on this program. But the real economic impact runs much deeper — and it compounds over time.
Your contractor joins the program under your brand. HMG builds their system, launches their website, and activates their lead infrastructure. You begin earning 20% immediately.
The system begins capturing and converting leads — from the contractor's own efforts or from HMG-managed ad campaigns. The contractor's pipeline fills with qualified prospects.
More leads means more estimates. More estimates means more closed jobs. The contractor's revenue grows — and so does their material volume. They buy more from you because they are selling more.
You're the company that helped this contractor grow their business. You introduced the program. You opened the door. You are no longer just a place to buy materials. You're their most important partner.
This is the flywheel that makes the program so valuable beyond the revenue share alone. Every contractor who grows through your program buys more material from you. Their average order size increases. Their frequency increases. They refer other contractors to you — not just for materials, but for the growth program itself. The revenue share is the direct return. The material volume increase is the multiplier. And the relationship lock-in is the long-term strategic moat that no competitor can replicate with a lower price.
This is an optional strategy we recommend to partners who want to accelerate enrollment and strengthen the bond between your brand and your contractors.
The idea is straightforward: offer contractors who are active on any tier of the growth program a 2% rebate on their monthly material purchases from your company.
This creates a direct financial incentive for the contractor to enroll and stay active. It also creates a reason for them to consolidate material purchases with you instead of splitting orders across multiple suppliers. The 2% costs you very little relative to total order value — but it gives the contractor a tangible, ongoing benefit tied directly to your program.
The contractor sees it this way: "If I am on the growth program, I get 2% back on every material order. That offsets part of my subscription cost. And the program is generating leads that are turning into real jobs. Why would I buy materials anywhere else?"
The result is a tighter relationship, higher material volume, stronger program retention, and a competitive advantage no other supplier in your market can match — because no other supplier is offering this.
2% rebate = $160/mo back to the contractor
Covers roughly a third of their Foundation subscription or 11% of Growth. Meaningful to the contractor. Negligible to your margin.
2% rebate = $300/mo back to the contractor
Covers 60% of Foundation or 20% of Growth. The contractor feels like the program is practically paying for itself through material savings alone.
2% rebate = $500/mo back to the contractor
Exceeds the Foundation subscription cost entirely. The contractor is saving money by being on the program — and buying $25K/mo from you instead of your competitor.
This is purely a suggestion — not a requirement of the program. But partners who implement it consistently see faster enrollment, higher retention, and increased material consolidation. The 2% creates a cycle where the contractor benefits from buying more from you, and you benefit from their loyalty and growth. It turns your program from a service into an ecosystem.
Whether you operate a single location or multiple yards, the math scales the same way. A single location can realistically enroll 15–25 contractors in year one. Here is what that looks like across each tier — and what happens when you multiply it across your footprint.

All figures based on 20 contractors per location as a year-one baseline. Actual enrollment will vary by market size, sales effort, and contractor network density. Revenue share figures represent gross share before the $3,000/mo management fee per location. Numbers do not include the additional material revenue generated by contractors growing through the program.
