Selling digital services can be profitable. Building an agency capable of delivering those services is a different challenge.
Websites, SEO, marketing, content and automation require specialists, software, processes, project management and ongoing client support. Building that infrastructure takes time and money.
But you do not necessarily need to build an agency to sell agency services.
The Studio 17 Sales Partner programme is designed for people who want to focus on what they do best: finding opportunities, building relationships and closing clients.
01You Sell. Studio 17 Delivers.
Studio 17 is a multidisciplinary marketing agency based in Cyprus and working internationally across marketing, technology and digital growth.
Sales Partners can introduce businesses to services including:
- Website design and development
- SEO and local SEO
- AI search optimisation
- Digital marketing
- Social media and content
- Branding and creative services
- CRM and automation
- AI systems
- Custom digital solutions
You do not need to design the website, manage the SEO campaign or build the automation yourself.
Your role is to identify businesses that could benefit from Studio 17's services, start the conversation, understand the opportunity and help move the potential client through the sales process.
Studio 17 handles the strategy, technical work and delivery.
Focus on sales, not fulfilment
You bring the client opportunity and develop the commercial relationship. Studio 17 provides the services, technical capabilities and delivery infrastructure behind the sale.
02Earn Between 20% and 30% Commission
Studio 17 Sales Partners work on a performance-based commission model.
| Performance | Commission |
|---|---|
| Standard commission | 20% |
| 5+ qualifying sales and €3,500+ qualifying monthly revenue | 25% |
| 8+ qualifying sales and €5,000+ qualifying monthly revenue | 30% |
Once the requirements for a higher tier are reached, the corresponding commission rate applies across the qualifying sales revenue for that commission period.
For example, if you generate €5,000 in qualifying revenue and meet the Tier 3 sales requirement, a 30% commission would equal:
€1,500 in commission.
The model rewards both individual sales and the ability to build a consistent pipeline of business.
03Your Clients Can Continue Generating Commission
The opportunity does not necessarily end after the initial sale.
Sales Partners can also receive a 5% continuing commission on eligible recurring payments and additional eligible services purchased by clients they introduced, subject to the programme terms.
This means that building strong client relationships can create value beyond the first project.
04Who Is This For?
You do not need to be a developer, designer or SEO specialist.
The Sales Partner programme is designed for people who are comfortable communicating with businesses, recognising commercial opportunities and developing professional relationships.
It may suit:
- Independent sales representatives
- Business development professionals
- Freelancers and consultants
- People with an existing network of business owners
- Experienced B2B salespeople
- Professionals looking to develop an additional commission-based income stream
Technical knowledge can help, but it is not the core requirement.
What matters more is your ability to understand what a business is trying to achieve, identify where Studio 17 may be able to help and move a genuine opportunity forward.
05Why Studio 17 Is Expanding in the United States
Studio 17 works internationally and is expanding its network of independent Sales Partners in the United States.
Digital services can be delivered internationally, but sales remain heavily influenced by relationships, communication and market knowledge.
Someone who understands their local business environment can recognise opportunities that generic outreach may miss.
Studio 17 provides the services, portfolio, internal systems and delivery capabilities.
You bring the opportunities and relationships.
06You Do Not Need to Build an Agency to Sell Agency Services
Starting an agency from zero means becoming responsible for far more than sales.
You need to find clients while simultaneously building the team, processes and infrastructure required to deliver what you sell.
A Sales Partner model separates those responsibilities.
You can focus on identifying businesses that need better websites, stronger search visibility, marketing support, automation or other digital solutions without having to build the delivery operation behind those services yourself.
Find the opportunity. Build the relationship. Close the sale.
Studio 17 handles the delivery.
07Build Your Sales Pipeline With Studio 17
For the right person, becoming a Sales Partner offers a way to sell a broader portfolio of digital services without creating an agency from scratch.
Your income depends on the opportunities you create and the sales you generate, rather than a guaranteed salary. The programme is therefore best suited to people comfortable with independent, performance-based sales.
Studio 17 is currently expanding its Sales Partner network in the United States.
If that model fits the way you work, you can apply to become a Studio 17 Sales Partner and start the selection process.
