WHO THIS IS FOR
Refer only

You're already on the job site. That's the advantage.

Your client trusts you. When a backyard office comes up, you refer — we close, deliver, and install. Pure upside, zero overlap.

What contractors say.

★★★★★
“I had three pool clients in a row ask about a backyard office while I was on site. Once I had the WorkPod brochure to hand them, two of them ordered within two weeks. Easiest commissions I've ever made.”

★★★★★
“I was going to pass on a client with a $15K budget for a backyard structure — couldn't build anything custom for that. Referred them to WorkPod, they bought a Pro, and I earned the referral commission and handled the install. Best of both.”

★★★★★
“The permit question always came up. Once I had the permit FAQ from Autonomous, I could actually answer it. That alone builds trust with the client before they even look at the product.”

Common questions.

How does the commission work exactly?+
When a client purchases a WorkPod through your unique referral link, you earn up to 10% of the sale price. WorkPod models range from $13,900 to $19,900+, so a single referral can earn $1,390–$1,990 or more. Commission is tracked automatically and paid out monthly.
What if I want to handle the installation myself?+
You keep 100% of the installation fee — Autonomous takes nothing. You coordinate directly with the client on timing, your crew handles the on-site assembly, and we provide full installation documentation. Installation typically takes 2–7 days and requires no crane or permanent foundation.
Do I need to stock or store any inventory?+
No. There is no inventory, no upfront cost, and no minimum referrals required. You refer, the client orders directly through Autonomous, and we handle all logistics, shipping, and installation coordination (unless you're handling installation).
Do my clients need a building permit for a WorkPod?+
In most US cities, no. WorkPod models are 80–105 sq ft — under the 120 sq ft permit-free threshold in most jurisdictions. Your onboarding kit includes a permit FAQ by state so you can answer this question confidently on the job site.
Is there a geographic restriction on the program?+
No. Shipping is available to most US states (except Alaska and Hawaii). If you're in California, installation is fully coordinated by Autonomous. If you're in another state and want to handle installation yourself, we can discuss that during onboarding.
