Here's everything that happens from the moment you become a Slate client to the moment money hits your bank account. No secrets. No surprises.
When you sign up for Slate, you're automatically enrolled in the referral program. No forms. No opt-in. You'll get a text that says you're in. That's it.
Text REFER to us. You'll get back a link that looks like this:
https://refer.slatesystems.io?ref=YOUR_ID
That link is yours. It tracks everyone who clicks it. You also get a referral code (like JOHN2847) that you can share in person.
Send your link to any contractor you know. Text it. Post it on Facebook. Drop it in your trade group chat. Mention it on a job site. It doesn't matter how — just get it in front of other contractors.
When a contractor clicks your link, they land on our referral page. A cookie saves your name as the referrer for 60 days. That means even if they don't sign up right away, you still get credit if they come back within 60 days.
First click wins. If two partners share links with the same person, whoever got them to click first gets the credit.
The person books a free demo call with our team. When they do, we save you as the referrer on their record. You'll get a text that says: "Someone just booked using YOUR link!"
If they sign up and make their first $297 payment, you start earning. You'll get a text that says something like: "CHA-CHING! John just signed up through YOUR link! That's more money straight to your bank every month."
This is when your payout starts. Not when they click. Not when they book. Only when they pay. That way, you're only earning real money — not promises.
On the 1st of every month, we add up all your active referrals. Each one earns you $97. The total goes to your bank account via direct deposit (Stripe). No invoices. No chasing. No waiting.
You'll get a text with your payout amount: "PAYDAY! You earned $291 this month from 3 active referrals!"
Text BALANCE to see how much you're earning right now. Text STATS to see every person you've referred — their name, when they signed up, and their status.
If a person you referred cancels their Slate subscription, you stop earning for that one referral. But nothing else changes — all your other referrals keep earning as normal. You'll get a text letting you know.
You'll hear from us regularly. We send milestone celebrations when you hit earnings goals. We send quarterly summaries of your earnings. And we'll always remind you that your link is ready when you are.
When someone signs up through your link, they automatically become a referral partner too — so they can earn just like you.
Every referral earns you the same rate. No tiers. No minimums. Simple.
You earn $97 every month for each contractor you refer to Slate. No work needed. Just share your link.
Text REFER to our number. You will get a personal link back right away.
$97/month per referral. No cap. Refer 3 = $291/month. Refer 5 = $485/month. Refer 10 = $970/month.
Monthly on the 1st. Your referral needs to make their first payment before you start earning. You earn $97/month for each active referral.
Text BALANCE to see your total earnings. Text STATS to see your referral list.
No. Anyone can be a referral partner.
Via direct deposit (Stripe). You set up your bank info once and get paid automatically every month.
Yes! Slate works for ALL trades — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, landscaping, and more. You don't have to refer people in your same trade. Refer anyone who does contracting work.
No. Slate limits how many contractors we take on in each market to avoid overlap. Plus, you can refer people from completely different trades — a roofer can refer a plumber, an electrician can refer a painter. Your edge stays yours.
No. Only new clients count. If someone is already using Slate, they don't count as a referral.
Yes! Post it anywhere. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, text groups, email — the more people see it, the more you earn.
You only earn when they pay. Once they make their first payment, you start earning $97/month for that referral. No payment from them = no payout to you.
We'll send you a secure link to enter your bank details. You only set it up once. After that, payouts happen automatically on the 1st of every month.
You'll get a text letting you know. You stop earning for that referral, but your other referrals keep earning. Nothing else changes.

We made it easy. Our Share Kit has pre-written text messages, social media posts, an email template, and talking points — all ready to copy and send.
Open the Share KitWhen you share your link, you must mention that you earn money from it. A simple "I'm a Slate partner and earn a commission if you sign up" is enough. This is required by federal law.
