Alakris Partner Playbook — A Practical Guide for Partners
Version: 1.0 Date: July 2026 Target Audience: Integrators, Sales Agents, Strategic Partners
1. Purpose of This Document
This Playbook turns the Alakris partner program from a document into action. Every section contains specific steps, templates, checklists, and KPIs — everything needed for a fast start and systematic growth.
Who this document is for:
| Role | What you’ll find |
|---|---|
| New partner | Quick start, onboarding, first sales |
| Sales agent | Sales playbook, qualification, demo, closing |
| Integrator | Implementation playbook, deployment, configuration |
| Partner leader | Support, marketing, KPIs, growth |
Core principle: Alakris is a digital workers (AI agents) platform for SMBs. A partner doesn’t just sell software — they sell and implement “employees” that work 24/7 with no vacations or sick days. This fundamentally changes the pitch, objections, and ROI arguments.

3. Sales Playbook
3.1 Lead Qualification
Decision Tree: Which Tier Fits the Client
Is the client an SMB (5-200 employees)?
├── No → Refer to Alakris (large clients have a separate process)
└── Yes → How many communication channels?
├── 1-2 (website only / social only) → Self-Service (₽4,900/mo)
├── 3-5 (website + social + messengers) → Professional (₽14,900/mo)
└── 6+ (full omnichannel) → Enterprise (₽49,900/mo)
Qualification Checklist (BANT)
| Criterion | Question | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | “What budget are you allocating for communication automation?” | “No budget” / “Under ₽3,000/mo” |
| Authority | “Who makes the decision on implementing AI tools?” | “I’m the only one, but I need to align with…” → find the Economic Buyer |
| Need | “How many leads are you losing because of slow response?” | “We manage fine” → pain isn’t voiced |
| Timeline | “When do you want to launch?” | “Someday” / “Next year” |

Principle: problem-agitate-solve — show only what solves the client’s pain, not every feature.
Demo Script (30 minutes)
| Stage | Time | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Introduction | 0–3 min | “We have 30 minutes. I’ll show exactly what solves [client’s pain]. Agreed?” |
| 2. Discovery-in-demo | 3–7 min | “Last time you said [pain]. Is this still a priority?” |
| 3. Platform | 7–17 min | Show Merchant Admin + widget in action (ONLY relevant screens) |
| 4. Result | 17–22 min | Analytics dashboard: “Here’s how many leads would be lost without AI” |
| 5. AI workers | 22–26 min | “This is Alex — he answers visitors 24/7. This is Marina — she manages the lead funnel” |
| 6. Case | 26–28 min | Proof: “A similar situation at [client in niche] — after launch [metric]” |
| 7. CTA | 28–30 min | “Next step — [specific action: proposal today / call with Economic Buyer / registration]” |
Typical objections and responses:
| Objection | Response |
|---|---|
| “Too expensive” | “Let’s calculate together: you lose [N] leads/mo × [average check] = [lost revenue]. An AI worker costs [price] and catches [M]% of missed leads. Payback — [X] months” |
| “We have a manager” | “A manager works 8 hours. AI works 24/7. Night requests, weekends, holidays — that’s [%] of the time when clients go to competitors” |
| “AI won’t understand my clients” | “Our AI workers train on your data: FAQs, catalog, price lists. They answer exactly the way your best manager would” |
| “We’ll try on our own” | “Great! The Self-Service tier is ₽4,900/mo. But note: without configuration for your business, conversion will be 40–60% lower. We recommend Professional with implementation” |

## What We Offer
Commission is determined by the partner's program tier (see the tier table below and your
Partner Agreement), not by activity archetype — the archetype affects which tier a partner
usually reaches and how quickly, not the rate directly.
| Tier | One-time | Recurring | Recurring duration | SLA |
|------|----------|-----------|--------------------|-----|
| Registered (0–3 mo) | 15% | 10% | 6 months | 48h |
| Silver (3–12 mo, ≥3 deals or ≥₽500K ARR) | 20% | 12% | 12 months | 24h |
| Gold (12+ mo, ≥10 deals or ≥₽3M ARR) | 25% | 15% | 24 months | 12h |
| Platinum (strategic / by invitation, ≥₽10M ARR) | 30% | 18% | 24 months | 4h |
Typical partner profiles and their usual tier trajectory:
| Role | Revenue model |
|------|---------------|
| Integrator | Implementation services (100% yours) + commission at your tier (usually starts Registered, grows to Silver/Gold as deals accumulate) |
| Sales agent | Referral commission at your tier — starts Registered (15% one-time / 10% recurring for 6 mo), MDF/terms improve as tier progresses |

9. FAQ
General Questions
Q: How long does implementation take? A: Basic implementation (widget + FAQ): 3–5 business days. Extended (CRM + telephony): 10–14 business days.
Q: Do I need a technical background to work with the platform? A: No. Merchant Admin is an intuitive interface. The basic Alakris Academy course takes 2–3 hours.
Q: How do AI workers train on client data? A: You upload FAQs, product catalogs, and price lists to Merchant Admin. The AI trains on this data and answers based on it. The process takes 1–2 hours.
Q: What languages are supported? A: Russian, English, Arabic. AI can switch between languages within a single conversation.
Partnership Questions
Q: What is the minimum entry threshold? A: There is no threshold. Registration is free, training is free. You start earning from the first deal.
Q: When is commission paid? A: Monthly, after payment is received from the client. Payout is within 10 business days.
Q: Can I work with several clients at the same time? A: Yes. There is no limit on the number of clients. We recommend starting with 3–5 clients and gradually increasing the load.
Q: What if a client wants a refund? A: Alakris offers a 14-day trial. If a client paid and wants to cancel within the first 30 days — full refund. After that — proportional to the unused period.
Technical Questions
Q: Does the widget slow down the website? A: No. The
script loads asynchronously (async) and doesn’t block page
rendering. Script size is <50 KB.
Q: What if the site is on HTTPS and the widget is on
HTTP? A: The widget supports HTTPS. Make sure the script URL
starts with https://.
Q: Can the widget be styled to match the website? A: Yes. Merchant Admin has settings for color, position, avatar, name, caption, and RTL for Arabic.
Q: How do I integrate with amoCRM? A: Merchant Admin → Integrations → CRM → amoCRM → enter API key → configure field mapping → test.

11. Risks and Mitigation
11.1 Partner Risks
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client unhappy with AI quality | Medium | High | Thorough FAQ setup, pilot before launch, operator fallback |
| Long sales cycle | High | Medium | Precise BANT, work with Economic Buyer, set deadlines |

| Client churn after implementation | Medium | High | Regular check-ins, metrics, proactive support |
11.2 Client Risks
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI doesn’t understand the business specifics | Medium | High | Individual AI training on client data, regular FAQ updates |
| Employees fear AI | Medium | Medium | Change management, training, focus on “AI helps, not replaces” |
| Integration breaks the website | Low | High | Staging testing, asynchronous loading, rollback plan |
12. Growth Recommendations
12.1 Short-Term (0–3 Months)
- Focus on one niche. Don’t try to sell to everyone. Choose 1–2 industries (restaurants, healthcare, services) and become an expert in them.
- Collect 3 cases. Every successful client is a story. Document metrics, screenshots, testimonials.
- Run 10 demos. Practice is the only way to become confident. Every demo makes you better.
- Set up processes. CRM, templates, checklists — everything should be ready before scaling.
- Get certified. Associate is the minimum for credibility. Professional is needed for Gold.
12.2 Mid-Term (3–6 Months)
- Scale outreach. 50 contacts/week → 100 contacts/week.
- Launch co-marketing. 1 webinar/mo with Alakris = 20–50 leads/mo.
- Set up support so you can scale without disproportionate headcount growth.
- Develop the niche. Guides, cases, videos — content that brings leads.
- Move up to Silver/Gold. Higher commission, more resources, more opportunities.
12.3 Long-Term (6–12 Months)
- Become a Platinum partner. 30% commission + MDF + co-sell + exclusivity.
- Build your own team. 2–3 certified specialists = capable of handling 10+ clients simultaneously.
- Develop industry expertise. “The best Alakris partner in the restaurant business” is positioning.
- Join the Partner Advisory Board. Influence platform development.
- Consider white-label. For large partners — an option to offer the solution under your own brand.
12.4 Antipatterns (What to Avoid)
- Feature dump. Don’t show everything. Show only what solves the client’s pain.
- Selling price, not value. “₽4,900/mo” without context = “expensive.” With ROI context = “cheap.”
- Ignoring the Economic Buyer. If you’re talking to someone who can’t decide — you’re wasting time.
- No follow-up. 80% of deals close after the 5th contact. Don’t quit after the first “no.”
- Underestimating onboarding. A poorly trained client will leave in a month. Invest in training.

Appendix C: Commission Calculation Formulas
Referral commission consists of two parts — one-time and recurring:
C_one-time = S × R_one-time (single payout from the first payment)
C_recurring = S × R_recurring × T (monthly, for the recurring duration of the tier)
C_total = C_one-time + C_recurring
S — client subscription amount (₽/mo)
R_one-time / R_recurring — rates for the partner's tier (see tier table in section 7.3 above)
T — number of months of recurring payouts (no more than the tier's recurring duration: 6/12/24/24 months)
Example: Client subscribes to Professional (₽14,900/mo), partner is Silver (20% one-time, 12% recurring, up to 12 months):
C_one-time = 14,900 × 0.20 = ₽2,980 (single payout)
C_recurring = 14,900 × 0.12 × 12 = ₽21,456/year (if subscription stays active all 12 months)
C_total (year 1) = 2,980 + 21,456 = ₽24,436
Implementation bonus:
B = B_base × K_level
B — bonus
B_base — ₽10,000 (Silver) / ₽25,000 (Gold) / ₽50,000 (Platinum)
K_level — 1.0 (base) / 1.5 (with certification) / 2.0 (with reference)
This is a working document and will be updated as the Alakris partner program evolves.
