Warm leads only

Every referral comes from someone in the prospect's own community. Not a cold list scraped from Facebook.

You set the reward

Choose the rand amount per offer. Higher rewards attract more connectors and better-qualified customers.

Reach hidden networks

Taxi ranks, church groups, small towns, townships — communities paid ads seldom reach at scale.

The workflow

From listing to closed sale, no cold calling in between.

You focus on closing. Community connectors handle the trust-building conversations we all know decide whether a customer says yes.

  1. 01

    Register your business

    Create your account and submit your company details. Admin verifies before you go live — usually within 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Post your offer

    Describe the customer you want. Set the reward. Attach any qualifying criteria. We handle the disclaimers.

  3. 03

    Receive warm referrals

    Verified connectors submit prospects with POPIA consent. Contact them directly from your dashboard inbox.

  4. 04

    Pay only when it closes

    Mark the referral as converted. Pay the connector directly. We keep the full audit trail for POPIA and SARS.

Model your CAC

A CAC number you can actually control.

Because you only pay on a closed sale, your customer acquisition cost is exactly your reward — no wasted spend on cold leads, no ad-network black box.

Why businesses choose us

The economics of word-of-mouth, made auditable.

  • No monthly ad spend, no agency retainers
  • You set the reward amount per offer, in rand
  • Only pay when the sale actually closes
  • Verified before you can post an offer
  • Track every referral from lead to sale to payout
  • POPIA consent captured on every referral

Compliance is a feature, not a footnote.

POPIA consent is captured before any prospect's details reach you. Regulated categories — insurance, funeral cover, real estate, credit — carry FSCA and Property Practitioners Act disclaimers automatically. Connectors introduce prospects only; they don't give advice.
