Quick Start for Affiliates

Why This Document Exists​

This guide is for a new affiliate partner who has just registered and wants to quickly understand:

  • What to do first
  • What to do second
  • How to go from registration to first recommendations

Nothing more — just the shortest correct path to getting started.

The Shortest Logic​

To get started correctly, you need to do 5 things:

  1. Find your referral link
  2. Understand who to recommend Hanc.AI to
  3. Choose 1--2 clear niches
  4. Grab a ready-made message template
  5. Make your first recommendations
info

That is the entire starting sequence. Everything below explains each step in detail.

Step 1 — Find Your Referral Link​

After registration, the very first thing to find is:

  • Your referral link — this is how every recommendation gets tracked back to you
  • Your affiliate code — an alternative tracking identifier
  • Your recruitment link for sub-affiliates (if available in your account)
Important

Do not start making recommendations until you have confirmed you are using the correct link. If you send people to Hanc.AI without your referral link, the referral will not be attributed to you.

Step 2 — Do Not Try to Recommend Hanc.AI to Everyone​

It is better to start with 1--2 clear directions rather than spraying recommendations everywhere.

Strong starting niches include:

  • Dental clinics — missed calls = lost patient appointments
  • Medical practices — high volume of repetitive scheduling calls
  • Restaurants — lost reservations during peak hours
  • Businesses with high incoming call volume — where every missed call costs money
  • Local service companies — electricians, plumbers, repair services
  • Multilingual businesses — where language barriers cause lost calls
  • Agencies and consultants with a client base — they can recommend Hanc.AI to multiple clients at once

Step 3 — Remember a Simple Product Explanation​

Use a short formulation:

Hanc.AI helps businesses stop losing incoming calls and automate repetitive phone interactions such as appointments, reservations, FAQs, and after-hours calls.

There is no need to explain the product in overly technical terms. Do not talk about "omnichannel voice AI platforms with orchestration and workflows." Instead, explain it through the business problem it solves.

Step 4 — Grab a Ready-Made Template​

Do not invent everything from scratch. Use the templates that are already prepared for you:

  • Email template — for sending a recommendation by email
  • Referral message — for messengers and short personal recommendations
  • Intro template — for warm introductions between a prospect and the Hanc.AI team
  • Social post template — for LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Facebook communities

This speeds up the start and reduces the chance of mistakes.

Step 5 — Make Your First Recommendations​

The most sensible start:

  • Send a few targeted messages to people you know
  • Make 1--2 warm intros to business owners in your network
  • Share your referral link in a suitable channel or community
  • See where there is a response
Quality over quantity

5--10 targeted recommendations are better than 100 random ones. Focus on businesses where missed calls, appointments, reservations, after-hours availability, or multilingual communication create a real problem.

What to Do if Someone Shows Interest​

The simplest path:

  1. Send your referral link — make sure it is your tracked link
  2. Briefly explain why Hanc.AI could be useful for their specific situation
  3. If needed, make an intro — connect the prospect with the Hanc.AI team
  4. Hand the contact over — let the Hanc.AI team take it from there
You do not need to run the entire sale

In the affiliate model, your job is to direct the right referrals and use the right message. Hanc.AI helps bring the prospect to a sale from there. You do not need to be a full-cycle account executive.

What Not to Do​

  • Do not recommend Hanc.AI to everyone indiscriminately
  • Do not use overly long and complex explanations
  • Do not promise things you are not sure about
  • Do not start with overly heavy enterprise cases
  • Do not forget to use your referral link with every recommendation

If You Have Very Little Time​

The minimum correct path looks like this:

  1. Copy your referral link
  2. Choose one niche
  3. Take one ready-made template
  4. Make 5 targeted recommendations
  5. Hand off interested contacts to the Hanc.AI team

This is already enough to get started. You can always expand your approach later after you see where there is the most response.
