Voice AI Agency Referral Program: How to Earn 40% Recurring Commissions

Trillet's agency referral program pays 40% recurring commissions for every agency you refer, making it the only voice AI platform with a GoHighLevel-style referral income model.

Voice AI agencies have discovered a second revenue stream beyond client retainers: referring other agencies to the platform they use. While most voice AI platforms focus exclusively on per-minute usage fees, Trillet has built a referral program modeled after GoHighLevel's approach, where top affiliates have earned hundreds of thousands in passive income. This guide breaks down how the program works, what agencies actually earn, and whether it makes sense for your business.

Which Trillet product is right for you?

• Small businesses: Trillet AI Receptionist - 24/7 call answering starting at $29/month

• Agencies: Trillet White-Label - Studio $99/month or Agency $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts)

What Is the Trillet Agency Referral Program?

The referral program pays agencies a 40% recurring commission on every agency subscription they refer, for as long as the referred agency remains a customer.

Unlike one-time referral bonuses common in SaaS, this is a true recurring revenue model. If you refer an agency that signs up for the $299/month Agency plan, you earn $119.60 every month they stay subscribed. Refer ten agencies, and you have built a $1,196/month passive income stream on top of your existing client work.

The program is managed through FirstPromoter , giving you access to real-time tracking, payout history, and referral link management.

How Does the Commission Structure Work?

The 40% commission applies to the platform subscription fee, not per-minute usage charges.

Here is the breakdown by plan:

Commissions are paid monthly via Stripe or PayPal, with a standard 30-day cookie window for attribution. If an agency clicks your link and signs up within 30 days, you get credit for the referral.

Why Is This Different from Other Voice AI Affiliate Programs?

Most voice AI platforms either do not offer referral programs, or they offer one-time payouts that range from $50 to $500 per signup.

Trillet's approach mirrors what made GoHighLevel's affiliate program legendary in the agency space. GHL affiliates have publicly shared earnings of $10,000 to $50,000 per month from referrals alone, built over years of consistent effort. The key difference is the recurring nature: you are not trading time for a one-time bonus, you are building an asset that compounds.

Here is how Trillet compares to competitors:

Trillet is currently the only white-label voice AI platform offering an agency-to-agency referral program with recurring commissions.

Who Should Consider the Referral Program?

The referral program works best for agencies that already have networks of other agency owners, whether through communities, podcasts, YouTube channels, or industry events.

Strong fits include:

• Agency coaches and consultants who advise other agencies on tech stacks and operations

• Community leaders who run Skool groups, Facebook groups, or Discord servers for agency owners

• Content creators who produce YouTube videos, podcasts, or newsletters about automation and AI

• GoHighLevel power users who already have referral income from GHL and want to stack voice AI commissions

• Agency owners who network at conferences, masterminds, and local business events

If you rarely interact with other agency owners, the referral program may not move the needle for your business. Focus on client revenue first, referrals second.

How Much Can Agencies Realistically Earn?

Let us model three scenarios based on different levels of referral activity:

Casual Referrer (5 agencies/year)

• 5 agencies on Agency plan ($299/month)

• 40% commission = $119.60/month each

• Monthly earnings: $598

• Annual earnings: $7,176

Active Networker (15 agencies/year)

• 15 agencies on Agency plan

• Monthly earnings: $1,794

• Annual earnings: $21,528

Community Builder (50 agencies over 2 years)

• 50 agencies on Agency plan (assuming 20% annual churn)

• Steady-state: 40 active referrals

• Monthly earnings: $4,784

• Annual earnings: $57,408

These numbers assume all referrals choose the Agency plan. In practice, some will start on Studio ($99/month) and upgrade later, so actual earnings may vary.

What Referral Strategies Work Best?

Agencies that succeed with referral programs typically focus on education rather than direct selling.

Content-based strategies:

• Create comparison content ("Synthflow vs Trillet for agencies") that ranks for decision-stage searches

• Record YouTube walkthroughs of your agency setup, including your Trillet dashboard

• Write case studies showing client results from voice AI campaigns

• Share pricing breakdowns that help agencies evaluate platforms

Community-based strategies:

• Answer questions in Skool, Facebook, and Discord groups where agencies ask about voice AI

• Host live demos or AMA sessions for agency communities

• Speak at local marketing meetups or virtual summits

• Offer to help other agencies set up their first voice agent (using your referral link)

Relationship-based strategies:

• Mention Trillet when agency owners ask what tools you use

• Include it in your "tech stack" recommendations during coaching calls

• Add it to resource pages or toolkits you share with clients and peers

The most successful referrers combine multiple approaches, building organic discovery through content while nurturing direct relationships through communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I earn commissions on a referral?

You earn 40% recurring commissions for as long as the referred agency remains an active subscriber. There is no cap on duration.

When do commissions get paid?

Commissions are paid monthly, typically within the first week of each month for the previous month's earnings. Minimum payout threshold is $50.

Can I refer agencies outside my country?

Yes, the referral program is global. Trillet serves agencies in the US, Australia, UK, Canada, and 40+ other countries.

Which Trillet product should I choose?

If you are a small business owner looking for AI call answering, start with Trillet AI Receptionist at $29/month. If you are an agency wanting to resell voice AI to clients, explore Trillet White-Label with Studio at $99/month (up to 3 sub-accounts) or Agency at $299/month (unlimited sub-accounts).

Do referrals need to stay subscribed for a minimum period?

There is a 30-day refund window. If a referred agency cancels within 30 days, the commission is reversed. After 30 days, your commission is locked in for as long as they remain subscribed.

Can I combine referral income with my agency's client revenue?

Absolutely. Most referrers run active voice AI agencies while building referral income on the side. The two revenue streams complement each other since your client success stories become referral content.

Conclusion

Trillet's 40% recurring referral program offers agencies a second income stream that compounds over time. At $119.60/month per Agency plan referral, even modest referral activity can generate meaningful passive income. For agency coaches, community builders, and content creators with existing audiences, the program provides a way to monetize recommendations you might already be making.
