Fintech / Lead-gen

Cut affiliate onboarding from 14 days to 72 hours with a partner ops system.

A fintech with 40+ pending partners had no onboarding system. We shipped an affiliate brief, traffic rules, payout event docs, and a partner CRM tracker - and onboarded the backlog in three weeks.

Situation

Where we started

40+ partners were waiting on links. Onboarding was an inbox thread. No traffic rules, no creative brief, no payout event doc, no follow-up cadence.

Action

What we shipped

  • Wrote the affiliate brief, allowed sources, payout events, and escalation playbook.
  • Built a partner CRM tracker with lead status, follow-ups, and notes.
  • Standardised onboarding into a 4-step flow with templated comms.
  • Set a weekly ops rhythm: pipeline review, traffic QA, partner check-ins.

Result

The measurable outcome

  • Onboarded 38 partners in 3 weeks; new avg time-to-live is 72 hours.
  • Compliance escalations dropped 64% with clearer traffic rules.
  • Partner manager freed ~12 hours / week from manual coordination.
