Refer to TLK Source. Earn a percentage on every invoice.

How it works

You qualify and introduce. We do the rest.

1

You qualify.

Find a contact in your network who looks like a fit — a business that's spending real money on freight and could benefit from independent oversight. You don't need to know all the details — a brief, honest sense is enough.

2

You introduce.

Make a warm intro. Your contact must know we'll be reaching out — that's the line we hold. From there we run the call, the proposal, the contract. You're not selling.

3

You get paid.

A percentage of every TLK Source invoice your introduced client pays — calculated on the final invoice price after any negotiated discount, Year 1 and Year 2. Direct deposit. Net-30 from each settled invoice. For referrers with strong commercial networks, the programme can become a meaningful recurring income stream.

The shape of it

Percentage on every invoice. Trail in Year 2. Built to scale.

Year 1

A material % of every invoice they pay

Whether they choose a freight product (Freight Monitoring, Freight Tender) or a 3PL product (3PL Health Check, 3PL Cost Monitoring, 3PL Tender) — you receive a percentage of every invoice they settle in Year 1, calculated on the final price the client actually pays after any negotiation.

Year 2

Reduced % trail on continuing clients

If they continue with the managed freight service or warehouse cost monitoring into Year 2, you continue to earn — at a lower percentage, paid the same way, on the final invoice price.

We keep the specific percentages and the worked maths in the partner pack we send you on approval. If you want the numbers before you commit, email hello@tlksource.com.au and we'll send the structure.

Who this is for

Anyone with the right contacts.

You don't need to come from freight. You don't need to be a former salesperson. You don't need a CV in the industry.

What you do need is a network — operators, finance leaders, business owners, advisers — who answer your calls and trust your judgement on who to speak to. If you know companies that are spending real money on freight or 3PL services and aren't sure they're getting honest advice, you have what we need.

Built as a steady recurring trail rather than a one-off commission. For referrers with strong commercial networks, it scales to a meaningful income stream over time.

Why your contacts will say yes

What makes TLK Source easy to introduce.

Banded published pricing, so smaller shippers can start affordably and larger shippers are priced fairly. Above $8M annual spend, both tender products auto-quote within one business day. Pricing is on the website — no scoping call needed to find the band.
No success fees, no share of savings, no contingency. Banded fees, period.
30 years of carrier-side experience at major Australian freight businesses behind every engagement.
Subscriptions are annual; one-off products are one-off. Cancel a subscription anytime — you keep access until the paid period ends.
Australian-built and operated. Cloudflare infrastructure with Australian-region storage controls where available. No carrier or 3PL rebates, ever.

What we won't do

The four lines that don't move.

We won't approach your contacts directly without your introduction.
We won't poach clients you bring us to other parts of our network.
We won't pay you in equity, options, or anything that isn't cash.
We won't be late. Net-30, monthly, every month.

I confirm that any contact I introduce to TLK Source will know I am introducing them and will have agreed to be contacted by TLK Source. I will not pass details of anyone who has not consented.

We will respond within 24 hours with the partner pack — including the percentage breakdown, the unique attribution code, and a copy-paste intro template you can use.

FAQ

Six questions, answered straight.

A percentage of every invoice your introduced client pays in Year 1, and a smaller percentage on continuing engagements in Year 2. Calculated on the final invoice price — the amount the client actually pays after any negotiated discount, not the list price. Same programme applies across both Freight Intelligence and 3PL Intelligence products. The exact percentages and worked examples are in the partner pack we send on approval — or email hello@tlksource.com.au for the breakdown before you commit.

Two things. First, your contact has agreed to be contacted by us — we don't cold-approach anyone. Second, the contact roughly fits — they're spending real money on freight and could benefit from independent oversight. You don't need to interrogate them; a brief sense is enough.

Net-30 from each TLK Source invoice your referred client settles. Direct deposit, monthly. You'll get a statement with every payment showing which invoices it relates to.

We check on every referral. If they're already in our active sales pipeline, we tell you immediately and we don't take the introduction. We don't claim leads we already had.

Yes. There's no exclusivity, in freight or warehousing. We don't ask, we don't track, we don't care.

Earnings scale with the number of qualified referrals and how long each client continues with TLK Source. For referrers with strong commercial networks introducing a steady flow of qualified businesses, the trail income compounds into a meaningful recurring stream. Most referrers treat it as a side income on top of their primary work, which also works well by design.
