FAQ for this niche

How do we avoid conflicts with channel partners?

Limit referral payouts to net-new accounts and notify partner managers weekly.

Should legal approve every landing page?

Use the built-in disclosure language and route major changes to counsel once a quarter.

What if LTV varies by plan?

Bundle the ROI math worksheet so AE teams plug in tier-specific guardrails.

How do we keep ambassadors motivated?
