Get Paid Every Time a Business Owner Finds Their Answer.
You already know business owners who are stuck. SAI pays you to point them to the answer.
“If you have business owner clients who are stuck — and you do — you owe it to them and to yourself to put this diagnostic in front of them. It costs them $89 to find out what’s wrong. It costs you nothing to make the referral. And it pays you every time.”
— Lawrence M. Schneider, Founder & CEO, Schneider Axiom Institute — Founder of U.S. Lock Corporation, acquired by Home Depot
The Product You Are Referring
A Diagnosis. Clean and Complete.
Lawrence M. Schneider spent 50 years in the seat — founding companies, turning around broken businesses, and ultimately building and selling U.S. Lock Corporation to Home Depot. In that time he developed a diagnostic framework that identifies the specific class of constraint limiting a business’s growth. Not a theory. Not an academic model. A battlefield-tested system.
The Schneider Axiom Institute has codified that system into the Business Constraint Diagnostic — an 81-question diagnostic that pinpoints which of the Seven Classes of Business Constraints is the governing problem.
The Seven Classes of Business Constraints
Market — Operational — Financial — Organizational — Strategic — Leadership — Credibility
For $89, a business owner receives a personalized diagnostic report — written, specific, and immediately actionable — that tells them exactly where their constraint lives and what they need to address first. No vague advice. No upsell pressure. No consultant relationship required. A diagnosis.
Your Role Is to Send a Link.
You don’t sell. You don’t explain the methodology. You don’t close anyone. You send a link — to a client, a member, a contact — and say:
“I came across this diagnostic. $89, takes about 30 minutes, and gives you a real answer about what’s holding your business back. Worth doing.”
That’s it. When they buy, you earn. When they upgrade to a credential program, you earn more.
Your Commission Structure
| Product | Price | Your Rate | You Earn |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Constraint Diagnostic | $89 | 25% | $22 |
| FDC — Foundational Diagnostic Credential | $697 | 20% | $139 |
| CAS — Certified Axiom Strategist | $1,997 | 20% | $399 |
| CAE — Certified Axiom Executive | $4,997 | 20% | $999 |
Run the Real Numbers
You have 200 business clients. You mention this diagnostic to 50 of them over the next 90 days.
| 30 buy the diagnostic ($22 each) | $660 |
| 6 upgrade to a credential program (conservative 20%) | $834 – $5,994 |
| One corporate referral — a team through CAE ($999 × 5 people) | $4,995 |
| 90-Day Realistic Earnings — From One Referral Channel | $6,600+ |
This isn’t theoretical. This is arithmetic. For a banker with 200 business clients, a trade association with 500 members, a PEO with 100 employer accounts — this is a serious revenue stream.
Zero Referral Risk
Why Your Clients Will Thank You For It
Most referrals put you at risk. If the product disappoints, you own that. This one works the other way.
$89 Is a Zero-Resistance Decision
No long-term commitment, no retainer, no consultant relationship. It’s a diagnostic — like a blood panel for a business. Your client spends less than a dinner out and gets a written answer to a question that has been costing them real money.
It Makes You Look Smarter
When you refer someone to a specific, credentialed diagnostic process — not just “talk to a consultant” — you are adding professional value to the relationship. You become the advisor who found the answer everyone else missed.
The Result Is Immediately Actionable
They get a real report. Not a sales pitch for more services. A written Diagnostic of their specific constraint class with direction on what to address first. Their next conversation with you will be better because of it.

This is the rarest kind of referral — one where everybody wins. Your client gets a written diagnosis of the constraint that has been holding their business back. You get paid for making the introduction. And the referral costs your client less than a dinner out. There is no downside. There is no risk. There is only the question of whether you are going to put this in front of the business owners who need it — or leave it on the table.
