3 From Corporate Director to Six-Figure Business Owner

How James built a £100k annual income in 12 months

*For illustration purposes only - not a real example. This demonstrates what your success story could look like.

James's Journey: Former Global Research Agency Director → SCR Affiliate Manager

The Starting Point

Leaving Corporate Life

"After 15 years at a leading global research agency, I knew everyone in the industry. But I was tired of the politics, the bureaucracy, the ceiling on my earnings. I wanted to build something of my own."

James's advantages: Deep industry knowledge, extensive network, credibility

His challenge: How to monetize relationships without starting from scratch

Months 1-3: Building Smart

Strategic Team Assembly

James's recruitment pitch was simple:

"You already know CEOs who need research. I'll show you how to turn those relationships into £30-50k annual income with just 2-3 hours per referral. No selling, no follow-up, just introductions."

His first recruits:

  • Marcus - Tech consultant with Microsoft/Dell contacts
  • Sarah - Banking RM managing 20+ pharma accounts
  • David - Healthcare advisor to medtech CEOs
  • Emma - Retail strategist with FMCG connections
Months 4-6: The Reality

Light-Touch Management That Works

What James expected: Hours of hand-holding and training

The reality:

  • 15-minute monthly check-ins via WhatsApp
  • Quick email forwards when opportunities arise
  • Monthly SCR call for best practices
  • Focus remained on his own deal flow

Key insight: "I spent 80% of my time on my own referrals, 20% supporting the team. The beauty is that good affiliates are self-sufficient - they just need occasional guidance."

Months 7-12: Acceleration

The Numbers Start Compounding

Q3 Results:

  • James personally: 4 referrals = £400k revenue
  • Team combined: 15 referrals = £1.2M revenue
  • Override kicks in on everything

Q4 Explosion:

  • Word spreads about SCR's quality
  • Referrals become easier as trust builds
  • Clients start coming back for more projects

8 Essential Questions Answered

What don't I have to do as a manager?

You focus solely on relationships and introductions. You DON'T: manage clients after introduction, handle project delivery or quality control, chase invoices or payments, need technical research knowledge, or do any hard selling or cold calling. SCR handles all project execution, client management, and administration. Your role is purely to connect the right people and guide your team.

How is this different from being an affiliate?

As a manager, you earn on two levels: your personal referrals (10% on first project + 5% on ongoing revenue for 6 months) AND a 2.5% override on all team revenue. Plus, you get enhanced support, tools, and direct access to SCR leadership. Affiliates typically earn £20-50k; managers earn £50-100k+.

What investment is required?

As a founding manager, you join FREE forever (worth £199/month from 2026). No joining fees, monthly charges, or hidden costs. Your only investment is 10+ hours per month of your time. We provide all training, tools, and support at no cost. You earn from Day 1.

Can I do this alongside my current role?

Yes! Most managers start part-time while maintaining their primary income. The 10-hour monthly commitment is designed to fit around a busy schedule. Many transition to full-time once their SCR income exceeds their salary.
