Tips for Successfully Referring Schools
SMS Naija Team · 25 August 2026
The most successful Royal Marketers tend to share a few habits worth adopting.
Lead with genuine value, not a hard sell — explain specifically what problem SMS Naija solves for the school you're talking to (chasing fees, compiling results by hand, no parent visibility) rather than a generic pitch. Proprietors respond better to a real conversation about their pain points than to a script.
Be accurate about pricing and features — misrepresenting either doesn't just risk your commission, it damages trust with an institution you were hoping to build a relationship with. Follow up after an initial conversation; many proprietors need a second nudge before registering, not because they're uninterested, but because running a school leaves little time for anything else.
And be patient — a subscription-onboarding commission plus an ongoing royalty means a single well-placed referral can keep paying you long after the initial sign-up.
