Everything you need to refer and get paid.
Zen Front Desk builds AI receptionists that answer every call, ask the right questions and book appointments, 24/7. You make the introduction. Ava does the selling. You get paid when they sign up.
Someone who misses calls: on a job, in court, with clients.
Copy a message below, attach the sheet for their industry.
They tell Ava you sent them. Text Nick the business name the same day.
What you earn
Disbursed on the 1st of the month after the referred business completes two consecutive monthly billing cycles in good standing. One reward per new business.
- Payout Schedule: Referral rewards are disbursed on the 1st of the month following the referred business's second consecutive cleared monthly billing cycle in good standing (without refunds or chargebacks).
- Attribution: Credit goes to the partner the business names when they call Ava, the referral link used at online checkout, or whoever texted Nick their business name first.
- No Self-Referrals: You cannot refer yourself, your own business, or any entity where you are an owner, officer, partner, or billing contact.
- Payment Method Separation: Referred accounts sharing the same payment card, billing address, or IP address as the partner are disqualified to prevent collusion.
- Tax Compliance: Paid by direct deposit or check. A Form W-9 is required once your cumulative earnings reach $600 in a calendar year (IRS requirement).

Do and don't
Ava answers the details. Your job is the introduction, so keep promises to what's below.
Do
- Tell them to call Ava at (832) 900-3600 and say your name, or check out zenfrontdesk.com/lite.
- Text Nick the business name the same day, so you get credit even if they call a demo line first.
- Invite them to try to interrupt Ava. That's the best pitch there is.
- Use the list prices above, exactly.
- Mention our 48-Hour Live Turnkey Guarantee for full suites (Legal, Advisor, Front Desk) once onboarding details are submitted. For Lite, setup is instant in 60 seconds.
- Say "Official AI Phone Partner of the MLK Grande Parade."
- If you post publicly, add a line like "I earn a referral fee if you sign up." The FTC requires it for paid recommendations.
Don't
- Don't promise custom discounts or unapproved pricing.
- Don't refer doctors, dentists, therapists or chiropractors.
- Don't promise software integrations.Google Calendar and Google Meet sync is live. Outlook works through calendar invites. There's no Clio or practice-software sync.
- Don't say Zen is partnered with or endorsed by the City of Houston or the Black Heritage Society.
- Don't name Zen clients other than the MLK Grande Parade.
- Don't say it gives legal, financial or medical advice. It never does.
Partner FAQ
When do I get paid?
Commissions are paid on the 1st of the month after the business you referred completes their second consecutive monthly billing cycle in good standing without refunds or chargebacks. Paid by direct deposit or check.
Why is there a 60-day (2-billing cycle) period before payout?
Because the public can participate as partners, this standard holding window ensures the client is genuinely active and prevents collusion, chargebacks, or early refund cancellations.
How does Nick know I sent them?
Ava asks every caller who referred them and writes it into the call summary. If they sign up online, your referral link tracks it. Texting Nick the business name the same day is your backup, and it's the rule for ties.
They called the lawyer or advisor demo line instead of Ava. Do I still get credit?
Yes, if you texted Nick their name. The demo lines don't always ask who referred them, so the text is what protects you.
What if two people refer the same business?
Credit goes to the person they name to Ava, the referral link used at checkout, or whoever texted Nick first.
Is Ava a real person?
No. Ava is an AI receptionist and says so at the start of every call. Most people are surprised how natural she is.
Can they keep their phone number?
Yes. They forward the calls they can't take, or all calls, to their receptionist. Nothing changes for their customers.
Do I have to sell anything?
No. Make the introduction and let Ava and Nick handle questions, pricing and setup.
