Qualification gate
What we look for before signing a partner
Operating or advisory experience
10 or more years for Founding Partners. Five or more years for Certified Partners. Demonstrated in named engagements, not just stated on a profile.
Referenceable client engagements
Founding Partners must name three or more referenceable SME clients in at least one of our five ICPs. Certified Partners need one. References are checked.
Brand voice fit
A one-page writing sample, reviewed by Appetals against the brand voice standard. Threshold: 75 out of 100. This is not optional. Every partner writes client-facing content under the Appetals and Marg standards.
Tooling literacy
Basic familiarity with AI tools, modern CRM platforms, Google Workspace, and workflow automation (n8n awareness helpful). Full training is provided, but orientation matters.
Founder reference call with our Founder & CEO
Required for all Founding and Certified Partners. A 60-minute call with Ishwar Jha, Appetals' Founder & CEO. Regardless of how every other criterion scores, a partner who does not pass this call does not proceed. This protects the brand quality of every engagement in the network.
