WERKSGILDE – Software for the trades. Simple. Clear. Practical.
WERKSGILDE is a new trades software developed specifically for small and medium-sized trades businesses. Our mission is simple: Digitalization should reduce the workload, not create new work.
The software supports trades businesses with their daily administrative and organizational tasks—from managing customers and projects to creating quotes, orders, and invoices, as well as other practical functions for day-to-day operations.
We are looking for independent sales partners and sales representatives nationwide who would like to actively establish WERKSGILDE in the market and grow with us over the long term.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for independent sales partners and sales representatives who enjoy direct B2B sales.
We are particularly interested in partners with existing contacts in:
• Skilled trades businesses
• Small and medium-sized enterprises
• Trade associations and craft-related organizations
• Electrical, HVAC, construction, and finishing trades
• Other craft-related industries
Experience with software or SaaS is helpful but not a mandatory requirement. What matters most are strong sales skills, initiative, and a good understanding of the realities faced by small and medium-sized craft businesses.
YOUR ROLE
You will independently acquire new prospects and customers for WERKSGILDE.
This includes, in particular:
• Reaching out to suitable craft businesses
• Presenting WERKSGILDE
• Qualifying prospects
• Scheduling and conducting meetings or product demonstrations
• Supporting the prospect through the entire process until the contract is signed
• Building long-term customer relationships
WERKSGILDE handles product development, technical enhancements, software provision, and ongoing technical support.
THE COMMISSION MODEL
The partnership is performance-based and operates on a commission basis.
You will receive:
• 20% commission on net license revenue in the first contract year
• 5% recurring commission on the net license revenue generated by the customers you acquire in subsequent years—for up to a total of five years
• Additional commission for subsequent upgrades in accordance with the agreed-upon commission structure
This means you benefit not only from the one-time sale but also from long-term customer relationships.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN?
A concrete example:
With 2–3 new GESELLE customers per week, that amounts to about 10 new customers per month.
GESELLE Edition:
€990 annual license (net)
SIGN-UP COMMISSION IN THE 1ST YEAR:
20% = €198 per new customer
With 10 new customers per month:
€1,980 in commission per month
With a steady 10 new customers per month:
120 new customers per year = €23,760 in sign-up commission.
AND AFTER THAT, YOU CONTINUE TO EARN:
For every customer you acquire, you’ll receive a 10% recurring commission on net license revenue for each of the following four years, provided the contract remains in effect.
With an unchanged GESELLE license fee of 990 €, this means per customer:
Year 1: €198 commission (20%)
Year 2: €99 recurring commission (10%)
Year 3: €99 recurring commission (10%)
Year 4: €99 recurring commission (10%)
Year 5: €99 recurring commission (10%)
TOTAL COMMISSION PER GESELLE CUSTOMER OVER 5 YEARS:
€594
An example with 120 acquired customers:
Year 1: 23,760 €
Year 2: €11,880
Year 3: €11,880
Year 4: €11,880
Year 5: €11,880
That’s a total of up to 71,280 € in commissions from these 120 customers—provided that the customers and you, as a sales representative, remain with akvit at WERKSGILDE for the entire period and the corresponding license revenues are actually paid.
And while the recurring commissions from your existing customer base continue, you can earn additional 20% commissions on new contracts and thus build an ever-growing commission-eligible customer base.
In short:
You don’t just earn money on the initial contract. With every new customer you acquire, you build a portfolio that can earn you commissions for up to five years.
WERKSGILDE offers various editions tailored to craft businesses of different sizes. As a result, the offering ranges from small businesses to growing craft enterprises.
WHY WERKSGILDE?
• Clearly defined target audience
• Large German skilled trades market
• Easy-to-understand product with clear practical benefits
• Different editions for businesses of various sizes
• Recurring annual license revenue
• Ongoing commissions for customers you acquire yourself
• Additional earning opportunities through upgrades
• Nationwide distribution
• Long-term collaboration expressly encouraged
WERKSGILDE was not developed to burden tradespeople with even more software complexity.
Our guiding principle is:
ONE GLANCE. ONE CLICK.
Functions should be where they’re needed. Workflows should be easy to understand. Software should take work off the craftsman’s hands.
FORM OF COLLABORATION
We are exclusively seeking independent sales partners or sales representatives. This is not a permanent position. The work can be organized flexibly and carried out nationwide.
Regional exclusivity is not planned at this time. In the event of a successful partnership and sufficient customer potential, further agreements can be discussed on an individual basis.
