Are all of the marketers qualified?
Yes! We hold our marketer community to a high standard. All of our marketers are pre-vetted so you don’t have to worry about that process yourself. We take into account several factors including past experiences, work samples, and education when deciding who we bring on board.
Do all of your marketers work remote?
Most of our marketers are located in the U.S. and Canada and work remotely for the organizations they are matched with. Depending on your business’s location we will try to accommodate any needs you have for in-person marketers.
Does Marketable Connections require long-term contracts?
We have no long-term contracts and you can cancel all retainer agreements at any time – we simply ask for a 30 day notice of cancellation. For every project, our team will compile a project agreement to be signed by both parties with the stipulations of the work to be done.
How do I sign up as a marketer and what are the vetting requirements?
All new marketers interested in working with Marketable Connections should start by filling out the New Marketer Application form. This form will give us a better idea of who you are and the types of clients you are hoping to work with through our platform.
What if a marketer has a disagreement with the client?
We require both parties to sign a project agreement before the project can begin, ensuring that both the marketer and business are aware of the project stipulations. If a dispute does arise, our team is happy to help mitigate those disagreements and will usually refer back to the project agreement for reference.
What is the typical process after a business submits a project form?
After the original project form is submitted, our team will take a look at your needs and scan our database for the marketer that best meets those qualifications. At this time, you can schedule an optional strategy call with our team if you wish to provide more clarity around your project and the type of marketer you would like to hire – our goal is to find a marketer that fits seamlessly with your team and your overall marketing strategy. Within a few days we will get back in touch with you with more information about the selected marketer and even set up a complimentary call between you and the marketer to assess compatibility on both sides. If you’re both satisfied, our team will type up a project agreement to be signed by both parties and the work can begin!
How quickly should a business expect to be matched with a marketer?
We normally set up an introductory call between you and your suggested marketer within 48 hours of your initial project submission. However, this can take longer depending on specialized needs, scheduling, and availability.
What fees are taken out of marketer payments?
We strive to give every marketer their typical rate for every project worked with us – that means that we include the service fees, processing fees, and all additional funds related to ongoing support in the price charged to the client.
How much should businesses expect to pay?
Pricing for projects depends on a variety of factors including the scope of the project, the specialization needed, and the going rate of a particular marketer. However, businesses can expect payments to fall in one of two ranges: for one-time projects or variable ongoing work, projects typically range from $60-$120/hour. We offer a 20% discount for retainer agreements, with typical hourly rates falling in the $48-$96 range. Once we receive preliminary information on your budget and project needs we can provide an exact price quote.
When are businesses required to pay?
When your project begins, you will be asked to submit a payment method. Hourly work and retainer projects will be charged every other week, while the funds for one-time projects will be held in escrow until the project is completed.
