Founding Partner Network
Pessimistic case shown throughout

Ninety seven partners.
Every asset, built and shown.

16,000 operators scraped and scored, worked four times each, turned into a network of gyms and clinics that put a free physician built health check in front of their own members. Below is the plan, the honest arithmetic, and every single thing we produce, shown as it will actually arrive.

01 · The machine

Four moves, in order.

01 Scrape and score

16,000 operators, ranked by who already pays to get patients.

Gyms, BJJ and CrossFit boxes, TRT and urology clinics, chiropractors, franchise head offices. Scored on live ad spend from the Meta Ad Library, booking and records technology detected on their site, hiring activity, and a free federal endpoint file that says which clinics can actually integrate. Only what scores gets enriched, because at 40 cents a record you do not buy blind.

02 Four attempts each

64,000 dials. Never one and done.

A lead costs 40 cents, a dial costs 19. One attempt reaches 22% of records at $2.70 each. Four attempts reach 63% at $1.87. Working a record we already own always beats buying a new one, so the discipline is four attempts, always.

03 Split the close

Clinics get a human. Gyms self serve.

A clinic needs a data agreement, an integration and a clinical conversation, so a person takes that call. A gym needs a kit and a link. Putting a human on every gym call is exactly what made earlier versions of this unaffordable.

04 Make sending effortless

They forward one email. That is the entire ask.

Two thirds of signed affiliates never promote anything, and the reason is work, not motivation. So the partner gets printed posters, written emails, social posts and a staff card, all personalised. The only thing left is to press forward.

The kit, unboxed

That is the real asset, not a stand in. Printed, personalised per partner, with the matching card stack beside it.

02 · Deliverable one

The lead record.

This is what 40 cents buys. Not a business name and a switchboard. A named decision maker, a verified line, and a reason to believe they will care.

Why each signal is on the card

Paid ads live is the strongest single predictor in the set. An operator already spending to acquire patients has the problem and a budget line to think with.

Booking or EMR tech detected gates the entire clinic channel. If they cannot integrate, the best converting partner type is not available and we should not spend a human hour on that call.

The federal endpoint file is free and public and confirms a live data endpoint. Costs nothing, de-risks the slowest part of the programme.

State rule matters because Florida, Washington and Oklahoma have statutes reaching business to business autodialling. Those route to a human, not to Brooke, and the flag is set at scrape time rather than discovered later.

Records that fail the score never get enriched. Buying the whole market and dialling it blind is the expensive mistake at 40 cents each.
03 · Deliverable two

The outreach. Two audiences, two different pitches.

A gym owner is handed something to give away. A clinic director is handed an intake tool. Send either one the other's email and you lose both.

Most first visits start with fifteen minutes of data archaeology. Labs in a portal you cannot reach, a wearable nobody has looked at, and a symptom timeline the patient rebuilds from memory in the room.

Medome Men is an intake tool that arrives before they do. With the patient's consent you get their labs, wearable history and symptom timeline in one structured record, before visit one.

It prescribes nothing and sells nothing clinical. There is a BAA, a real integration, and the patient owns their data.

Worth fifteen minutes to see whether it fits your intake?

Never says it helps them sell anything. A clinic owner told us that framing is the tell that a vendor does not understand clinical practice, so it is gone everywhere.
06:10, before it opens

The only two hours that matter

The owner is alone doing admin before classes. Answer rates go above 30% and owner direct above 70%. This is the window the whole calling motion is built around.

04 · Deliverable three

The call.

Brooke's job is not to close. It is to find out whether this deserves a human's time and to book that human. Three outcomes only: booked, disqualified with a reason, or a callback.

Opening, 30 seconds6am to 8am window
BrookeHi, is that the owner? This is Brooke, an AI assistant calling from AI Marketing Co. This call may be recorded. Quick one and I will be thirty seconds. OwnerGo on then. BrookeWe are putting a free physician built health check in front of members at gyms like yours. Costs you nothing, it is HSA eligible, and you get twenty five annual memberships to give away. Worth me sending the one pager, or not your thing? She names the AI in the first ten seconds and discloses recording on every call, so no per state logic is ever needed. An owner who works it out mid call disengages and tells people.
The two objections that matter
OwnerWhat is the catch, what do you get out of it? BrookeMedome pays us to place it. You earn on anyone who upgrades, but honestly most owners take it for the giveaways. No cost and no contract. OwnerI do not want to spam my members. BrookeUnderstood. It is one email, written for you, and it is a free thing you are giving them rather than something you are selling. If it does not fit your list, do not send it. One soft objection handled. A second from a real decision maker triggers a live transfer or a booked callback. She never argues twice.
Handoff trigger

Pricing, integration, or multi location.

Any of those three and she transfers live or books a human inside the hour. Those are the conversations that become signatures and she is not the right voice for them.

Gatekeeper rule

Never pitch the front desk.

If a receptionist answers, the pitch switches off and the job becomes the owner's name and the best callback window. Pitching a gatekeeper marks the number as telemarketing and burns that location permanently.

The window

6am to 8am is the whole game.

The owner is alone doing admin before classes. Answer rates go above 30% and owner direct above 70%. Mondays underperform everywhere and Friday afternoon is the worst slot to ask for anything.

05 · Deliverable four

The SMS sequence that gets them to actually send.

A verbal yes on a call is worth very little. Roughly one in ten agreers ever does anything. Three touches, with the incentive paid on a confirmed send rather than a click, is the cheapest thing in the programme and it moves activation from about 8% to 15%.

Why it is built this way

The incentive pays on the send, not the click. A click costs the partner nothing and proves nothing. Paying on a confirmed send separates the people who meant it from the people who were being polite on a phone call.

Touch two offers them an exit. Asking to close it off gets a real answer instead of silence, and silence is what kills these programmes. A no in week one beats a maybe in week nine.

Touch three carries a real date. If everyone eventually gets founding status the label is theatre, and owners who have seen a hundred of these clock it instantly.

The last message reports a number back. 34 members opened it. That is what makes a partner send a second time, and whether they ever do is the biggest open question in this whole programme.

693 messages across the programme, about $8 of traffic. The real cost is the A2P registration, roughly $190, which you pay whether you send 700 or 70,000.
06 · Deliverable five

The kit. Printed, personalised, posted.

Every partner gets physical material with their own name on it and their own QR. About twelve dollars a partner, and the best money we spend anywhere in the programme, because it removes the work that stops people sending.

Six social posts, written and sized, his QR in frame. Nothing that names a condition, because that is what gets a post throttled.

A front desk card. Four lines his staff can say when a member asks what the poster is. In most gyms the front desk does the actual work, not the owner.

Twenty five printed giveaway codes, so he can hand them out physically. A code in a hand converts better than a code in an email.

A one page explainer for the notice board and a second copy for whoever asks him what he has signed up to.

His login to see activations and his community's aggregate numbers, which is what brings him back in month two.

07 · Deliverable six

Where the member lands.

Men's health has the highest watch through and the worst click through of any category, because clicking leaves a trail. A page that asks about erections before it gives anything loses most of what it was sent. So the order is value first, questions later.

The four rules this page obeys

His gym is named at the top. He was not sent an advert, his gym gave him something. That one line carries most of the trust.

No condition named anywhere. Not testosterone, not erections, not prostate. The hook is curiosity and control, because symptom framing is what both the platform and the man himself reject.

No email before the result. Every field asked for before value is delivered costs a double digit share of what is left. The account comes after he has seen something worth keeping.

Privacy is stated, not implied. Nobody sees this but you, in the second line, because that is the exact objection stopping the tap.

A separate page per partner and per theme, all tracked, so we can tell which angle and which partner produced which signup.

08 · The arithmetic

Pessimistic all the way down.

Every rate below sits under the base case we modelled earlier, and that base case had already been cut by two rounds of adversarial review.

The finding that decides everything

$25,902 of year one revenue sits in one product change.

Same partners, same dials, same signups. The only difference is asking for the card on day five instead of never, and moving to $19 a month, $49 a quarter, $179 a year with HSA and FSA stated on the paywall. That is why the conversion sprint sits inside this programme rather than being sold as an upsell later. Without it the work barely pays for itself. With it the same work returns nearly twice as much.

09 · What it costs

Price

$39,500.

$17.42 per free signup and $79 per paying member. Against $129.66 of year one revenue per member that is 1.64x on the pessimistic case, and above 3x if rates land where our base case had them.

Two levers on the feed

Cancellable, and shareable.

It can be switched off any month, so if month three does not need it that is $1,500 back. And a second health client in the same window halves it. That client has to be non competing on the partner network though, or we burn the gyms.

What you keep

All of it.

The scored list, the outreach engine, every partner kit, the tracking portal, the landing pages and the fixed paywall. Run it again next quarter without paying for any of it twice.

The moment that matters

Alone, on a bench, deciding

Men's health has the best watch through and the worst click through of any category, because clicking leaves a trail. This is the second we are buying.

10 · What a user is worth

A free signup is worth $45.96.
Today it is worth $15.49.

Five year lifetime value. Year one is the blended plan mix net of a 7.7% processing and store fee plus a modest consult attach. Every year after that only the annual cohort meaningfully renews, at RevenueCat's measured 44.1% yearly retention, compounding.

Lifetime, per PAYING member$148$209
Lifetime, per FREE SIGNUPPaying member value multiplied by trial to paid: 10.5% today, 22% on the ladder.$15.49$45.96
The whole argument, in one line

We charge $17.42 a signup.

Against a $45.96 lifetime value that is 2.6 to 1. Against today's $15.49 it is 0.9 to 1, which is under water. Same traffic, same partners, same work. The only thing that moves it is where the card is asked for and what the plans cost.

Per paying member

We cost $79. They are worth $209.

2.6 to 1 over five years, and the payback lands inside year one because the annual plan bills up front. The recurring years are the part that makes this a business rather than a campaign.

Where this could be wrong

Years two to five are borrowed.

They compound one published retention figure and Medome has no subscribers to measure. Year one is solid. If real retention lands at half of RevenueCat's, lifetime value falls to about $169 rather than $209. That is why the contract prices against year one and treats the rest as upside.

11 · Everything we tested

Nine approaches modelled. One survived.

Same denominator for all of them, because it is the only fair test: what does one paying member cost. Not a view, not a signup. We built each of these properly, wanted several of them to work, and set them aside when the arithmetic said no.

Why the winner wins

Everything else buys attention. This buys access.

Every other route pays for attention and hopes it converts. This one pays for access to an audience somebody else already built, already has permission to contact, and is already trusted by. A gym owner emailing his members is not media, it is a recommendation, and it converts at 22% against 10.5% for cold traffic. Same man, twice the chance of paying, because of who asked him.

The caveat we owe you

Only the winner has been audited twice.

The partner row went through two adversarial review rounds, which roughly quintupled its modelled cost per member from $6.42 to $68. The other eight sit at the standard our partner number was at BEFORE those audits. Put them through the same scrutiny and they all get worse too. The ranking holds. The size of the gap flatters us and we would rather say so.

12 · Why you cannot buy half

Halve the budget and you get 50% of the result for 73% of the cost.

This is the question every finance person asks and it deserves an arithmetic answer rather than a sales one.

ScopeRecordsClinics livePartnersPayersCost$ per payer
100%, the programme16,0005.797499$33,926$68
75%12,0004.373373$29,307$79
50%8,0002.949251$24,730$98
25%4,0001.425126$20,111$160
Reason one

$14,442 of it does not shrink.

The data feed, the scrape build, the call scripts, the kit design, the portal, the deliverability setup and the conversion sprint cost the same whether we work 16,000 records or 4,000. At full scope that fixed block is 43% of cost. At a quarter scope it is 72%. You would be buying overhead instead of outcomes.

Reason two

Clinics are rare and they carry the value.

Six live clinics come out of 4,000 clinic records. Quarter that and you get 1.4, which rounds to one, and one clinic can fall over for reasons that have nothing to do with us. A clinic is worth roughly nine gyms, so losing clinics is exactly where the revenue disappears.

Reason three

The sales cycle does not compress.

Ninety days is already tight for a channel that needs a data agreement and an integration before one patient sees anything. Fewer conversations in the same window does not mean the same conversion at lower volume. It means fewer at bats inside a fixed calendar, and the clinics that would have closed in week ten never get started.

13 · If a month is the budget

The pilot is $14,500.
It gets you a fifth of the result.

We will absolutely run it, and we would rather you bought it than nothing. But it is not a smaller version of the programme, it is a different and much weaker thing, and here is exactly why.

 One month pilotFull ninety daysDifference
Price$14,500$39,5002.7x less money
Records worked4,60016,0003.5x fewer
Active partners28973.5x fewer
Clinics live0.3, which means none5.7the whole channel
Paying members1184994.2x fewer
Cost per paying member$123$7956% worse

Pay 37% of the price and receive 24% of the paying members. That is the trade, stated plainly, and it gets worse the smaller you go.

What actually breaks

Zero clinics. Not few. None.

A clinic needs a data agreement and an integration before one patient sees anything, six to ten weeks on its own. Four weeks of outreach models 0.3 live. Clinics are worth nine gyms each and they are 41% of the full programme's revenue, so the pilot is all gyms by construction.

The calendar

Six weeks elapsed to deliver four.

Weeks one and two are build, identical in both versions, with zero outreach. Weeks three to six are live. Then it reports, while week five partners have not sent yet and week six senders have not converted a trial, because a trial takes seven days. You would be judging the engine on its worst month.

The buildout does not shrink

Same scrape, same scripts, same portal.

Everything gets built once whether it runs four weeks or twelve. That fixed block is a manageable share of a ninety day programme and a punishing share of a one month one. It is the single biggest reason the per member cost jumps from $79 to $123.

Why we will still sell it

Our margin on the pilot is $2,344. Sixteen percent, on purpose.

It is the honest way in. $14,500 is a decision one person makes this week, and if the send rate and the click rate come back where we modelled them, the ninety days stops being a forecast and becomes arithmetic off real numbers. The pilot is not where we make money. It is where we earn the right to the full programme. What it cannot do is tell you anything about clinics, and nobody should conclude anything about that channel from it.

14 · Priced near cost

$39,500, of which $33,926 is hard cost and paid work.

What our margin actually is

$5,574. Fourteen percent.

That is not an agency markup, it is a partnership rate. The feed, the leads, the dials, the kits and the tooling pass through at what they cost us. The labour is 230 hours at $50, which is what the people doing the work are paid. We are taking fourteen points to carry the delivery risk and to be the ones answering for it in week six.

Why we are pricing it this way

We want the second contract, not the first one.

Everything built here is reusable: the scored list, the outreach engine, the kit templates, the portal and the fixed paywall. If this works, the next ninety days costs a fraction of this one because the buildout is already paid for. Taking a fat margin on the first engagement is how you never get to the second.

One lever on the feed: it is cancellable any month. If month three does not need it, that is $1,500 back to you, not to us. And a second non competing health client inside the same window halves the $6,500, which we would pass on rather than pocket.
15 · Who checked every step

Seventeen review passes.
Here is who said what, and when.

To be exact about what these are: specialist review seats, each briefed with the full model and a specific remit, run independently so none could see the others. They are modelled expert reviews, not consultants we retained, and we would rather say that than dress it up. The published data underneath is cited separately so you can check it.

Step 1 · Four model council
the architecture call
"The single thing most likely to kill this plan, and it is not iOS: the product has zero social proof. Employer and clinic buyers will ask who is already on this, and influencers will not attach their name to a ghost."
What it changed: proof work moved ahead of spend, and it talked us out of gating everything on shipping an iOS app, correctly, because the funnel is web and an iPhone converts in Safari today.
Step 2 · Paid media and clipper CFO
broke the clipper case
"Real benchmarks for organic clipper content into a link in bio, across every campaign I have reviewed, in any vertical, blended: 0.05 to 0.15%. Viral clips spike to 1%, but blended across a real cohort you land under 0.15% almost every time."
What it changed: our click rate fell by a third, and the seat separately caught that our $1.00 CPM is on views paid for while we only receive 70% verified, so the honest transacting rate is $1.43 per 1,000 delivered.
Step 3 · Men's health category buyer
disagreed with step 2
"I have run neutral health at 0.9 to 1.6% link CTR on the same creator footage format. Men's health specifically, TRT, ED, low T, I have seen 0.12 to 0.35%. Four to eight times worse, because clicking leaves a trail."
What it changed: two seats disagreed and we show both rather than average them. The same seat gave us the landing page rule that rebuilt the funnel: "The fix is not softer copy, it is sequencing. If your registration asks anything explicit before step one completes, that is your leak."
Step 4 · Affiliate programme operator
cut the partner numbers
"210 signups from a 1,200 patient base, 17.5% of the entire panel, is fantasy. And there is a structural conflict nobody flagged: these are already TRT patients being actively treated. The clinic has zero incentive to push a competing app."
What it changed: it knocked roughly 500 paying members out of the plan, and cited PartnerStack, Impact and Rakuten network data showing 60 to 70% of signed affiliates never produce a single click, which cut our send rate from 50% to 35%.
Step 5 · Clinic owner, 1,200 patient panel
reversed step 4
"A bounty for pushing an app to my list is me renting my patient relationship to a vendor with no clinical upside. This is different. I am not promoting an app, I am adopting an intake tool. One is a marketing favour, the other is infrastructure."
What it changed: it restored the clinic channel and rewrote how we pitch it. It also produced the sharpest warning in the exercise: "If a vendor pitches it as helping me sell TRT, that is the tell they do not understand clinical practice, they understand conversion funnels." So we never say that.
Step 6 · Adversarial CFO
caught us cheating
"The clipper click rate already incorporates the influencer content improvement, so those signups are already in the clipper line. The clipper return banks the uplift without bearing the cost, while the influencer line separately claims credit for the same signups. That is the double counting."
What it changed: we had argued the creators were really $7.90 a signup. They are $28.95, the worst line in the plan. The same seat found a $28.06 versus $27.40 arithmetic error in year two revenue.
Step 7 · Second round, self serve specialist
broke our own fix
"35% is not a number anyone who has run a partner activation programme has ever seen. It is what you get when you assume a verbal yes behaves like a signed contract. Round one already told you that lesson. You moved the same optimism one stage over."
What it changed: gym activation fell from 35% to 8 to 12%, so 139 active gyms became about 40. A 71% cut to the number the whole self serve case rested on, and we had flagged our own suspicion about it before the seat confirmed it.
Step 8 · Deal structure and risk
fixed the contract
"Deliverables defined as inputs, not outcomes. Floor case is the contracted number. Agency is not responsible for what a partner's list does after the partner sends to it."
What it changed: the contract now names 60 active partners as the floor with signups labelled illustrative, payment split 40 / 30 / 30 against input milestones, and a week six checkpoint so month three is never a surprise.

17 · The model we are running

Partner distribution is not our idea.
It is a $2 billion playbook.

Everything above describes one specific model: put a consumer health product in front of members through the operators who already own the relationship. Two companies proved it at scale and one of them wrote the playbook for the first hundred partners, which is exactly the phase we are in.

Wellhub, formerly Gympass
proof the model scales
Partner network50,000 to 55,000 gyms, studios, trainers and apps
Corporate customers15,000, including 10,000+ employers
How partners get paidMonthly, per check in, terms set in contract
StructureB2B2C. The employer or operator holds the relationship, the platform holds the product
What it proves: this is not a scrappy workaround, it is a category with a multi billion dollar company sitting on top of it. Fifty five thousand partners exist because operators genuinely want something to give their members. We are asking ninety seven of them, which is 0.18% of a network one company has already built.
ClassPass, 2013 to 2016
the playbook we are actually copying
"They would court the best studios by offering more generous rates and sign up bonuses worth thousands to get exclusivity. Once top studios were on board, it was often easier to convince tier 2 and tier 3 studios to follow."
The tactic we are taking: anchor tenants first. Do not spread the budget evenly across 16,000 records. Win a small number of marquee operators in each metro, overpay them in status rather than cash, then use their names in the next wave of outreach. ClassPass went from $200,000 a month to over $10 million a month in two years on the back of that sequencing.

What we are doing differently: we are not buying exclusivity and we are not paying sign up bonuses. Our version of the anchor incentive is Founding Partner status, free access for the owner and all staff, and 25 memberships to give away. Same psychology, no cash out the door, because a $120 a year product cannot fund what a fitness marketplace could.
So this changes the plan

The first ten partners get treated completely differently from the next ninety.

ClassPass's lesson is that partner acquisition is not linear, it is social. The eleventh gym is easier than the first because you can name the first ten. So weeks one to four are not a volume push, they are a hunt for anchors: the best known box in each metro, the clinic with the biggest panel, the franchise with the most locations. We overspend attention on those and then the outreach email stops saying "we are placing this with 50 gyms" and starts saying "we are already in with these three near you", which is a different email entirely.

Where the analogy holds

Same shape, same psychology.

An operator with an existing member relationship, a product that costs them nothing to offer, a per outcome payment, and a network that gets easier to build as it grows. Every structural element of Wellhub and early ClassPass is present here.

Where it does not

They had a marketplace. We have a referral.

ClassPass sent paying customers into a studio's empty capacity, so the studio made money from day one and had a hard commercial reason to stay. We are asking a gym to hand something free to its members for a modest commission. That is a weaker hook, which is exactly why the incentive stack leans on status, staff access and giveaways instead of cash, and why we model a 35% send rate rather than assuming enthusiasm.

18 · What we contract

The floor, not the forecast.

Contracted

60 active partners.

Active means their tracking link recorded a click and a timestamped confirmed send. A verbal yes on a phone call is not active and never counts. Signups and paying members are labelled illustrative in the agreement, because we do not control what a partner's list does once they send to it.

Paid

40 / 30 / 30.

Kickoff, the week six checkpoint, the final report. Each tranche tied to an input milestone and independently earned. A disappointing month three costs the final tranche rather than the whole engagement, and week six is a documented moment to course correct together.

Said out loud

This is a harvest until proven otherwise.

Nobody has shown a partner sends twice. Treat 2,267 signups as a one time harvest across 97 lists. For clinics it is starker: most of their contribution is draining an existing panel once, and the recurring trickle after that is roughly 15 a month and decays without management.

How we got here

Our own forecast, cut twice.

Two adversarial rounds. The first found our labour estimate was a third of the real job and that we were quietly selling signed as active. The second found our gym activation overstated threefold and a clinic number that came from one owner's recollection. Every figure here is what survived.

The ask

$39,500. Ninety days.
Sixty partners contracted, ninety seven modelled.
