The Founding Partner Invitation Letter

Use this template to invite your first 10 strategic SA trade consultants. Replace [Consultant Name] and [Industry/Sector] before sending.

Subject: Exclusive Invitation: Join the Africa-EU "Trust Architect" Founding Circle

Dear [Consultant Name],

As the global trade landscape shifts toward the 2026 EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), African exporters across all 54 nations are facing a "Liability Wall." Without a verified Digital Product Passport (DPP), market access to the €355 billion Africa-EU trade corridor is at risk.

I am writing to you because of your reputation in [Industry/Sector]. I am launching digitalproductpassports.co.za — Africa's premier "Registry of Truth."

We aren't just providing QR codes; we are building the JSON-LD Manifests that European AI procurement agents require to safely recommend African suppliers.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU:

I am looking for 10 Founding Partners to join our elite referral network. As a Founding Partner, you will receive:

1. Preferential Commission: A 25% fee on every "Audit & Setup" you facilitate (R375 – R2,750+ per client).
2. Recurring Revenue: A 10% perpetual trail on the monthly SaaS subscription (R49.90/mo per client) for every client you bring to the registry — this compounds indefinitely as long as they remain active subscribers.
3. The "Verified" Advantage: You will be the first to offer your clients a "Market Access" guarantee, positioning you as their most valuable compliance strategist.

THE TECH ADVANTAGE:

Our registry is built on Cloudflare's Global Edge infrastructure, ensuring that whether a buyer is in Berlin or Johannesburg, the product data is served instantly and securely. We provide the "Hardened Data" that bypasses customs friction.

NEXT STEPS:

I would like to host a brief 15-minute briefing to show you the "Trust Architect" Dashboard and how we can onboard your top 5 clients before the 2026 deadline.

Are you ready to help your clients bridge the Liability Wall?

Best regards,
Tony Peacock
