Skedler is building a network of technical advisors and consulting practices across the US, UK, Germany, and the wider EMEA region.
If you already work with Grafana users, or you're helping clients escape unpredictable SaaS observability pricing (Datadog, New Relic, Splunk) by moving to open source, this is a way to monetize those relationships without adding a full sales motion.
The difference
Most referral programs hand the customer back to the vendor after the intro. We don't. You can stay in the deal, lead the technical evaluation, and own the customer relationship through onboarding. That's where the higher commission lives, and it's why senior consultants pick this over generic affiliate programs.
What you'll do
- Identify Grafana users in your network with reporting, SLA, or compliance needs.
- Identify clients running paid SaaS observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, Splunk) who want to escape unpredictable renewal pricing, and position a migration to an open source stack with flat pricing.
- Hold initial technical conversations to confirm fit.
- (Higher commission) Lead the full evaluation and onboarding, with our engineering team backing you up
- Register deals through our partner portal so your opportunities are protected
Compensation
- Up to 25% commission on new deals (typical deal size $10K USD)
- Recurring commission on every annual renewal
- Top tier reserved for partners who lead the full evaluation
- Uncapped, paid on collected revenue
What we provide
- Product and technical training, plus direct access to our engineering team
- Free trial and Proof of Value licensing for your prospects
- Customer case studies, architecture decks, and deal registration
- Migration playbooks for moving clients from Datadog, New Relic, or Splunk SaaS to an open source observability stack with flat, predictable pricing
Who this fits
- Independent consultants and solutions architects working with IT ops, DevOps, or compliance teams who want to add a productized revenue stream to their practice.
- MSPs and small consulting practices serving Grafana, Splunk, Datadog, or New Relic users in regulated industries.
- Consultants leading observability cost-out migrations. Your clients are stuck with paid SaaS tools (Datadog, New Relic, Splunk) where every renewal brings unpredictable price hikes from data volume and seat growth.
Who this isn't for
- Pure affiliate marketers or lead-gen agencies without technical depth in observability.
- Generalist business development reps looking for any product to sell.
- Anyone expecting inbound leads from us.
