Read the commitment and the measurement together
Ramp Year builds and runs a complete B2B sales motion, then transfers it to the client. The public base fee is $160,000 across four paid months. Approved engagements target $160,000 in eligible first-year customer revenue signed for the business. If needed, operating work continues through month six without extra base agency fees; a remaining shortfall is refunded up to fees paid.
A 10% commission applies only to eligible first-year customer revenue signed above $160,000 during the engagement. Approved tools and data are separate. Attribution, eligibility, client responsibilities and payment/refund mechanics need written agreement before signing. These articles explain the public offer; they do not invent additional contract clauses.
The free research funnel is a separate, earlier step. Five researched accounts and an assumed $10,000 annual value illustrate $50,000 of potential account value. That is not a booked pipeline, proof of demand or a promise of five wins.
How much does Ramp Year cost and what is included?
Ramp Year's public base fee is $40,000 per month for four paid months: $160,000 total. The engagement builds and runs a connected B2B sales motion with research, infrastructure, outbound, senior selling, hiring-team support, training and handover. Approved tools and data are separate. A 10% commission applies only to eligible signed first-year customer revenue above $160,000 during the engagement.
How does Ramp Year’s $160,000 signed-revenue guarantee work?
Approved Ramp Year engagements target $160,000 in eligible signed first-year customer contract value. The target is pursued during four paid months; if needed, operating work continues through month six without extra base agency fees. A remaining month-six shortfall is refunded up to fees paid. Eligibility, attribution and client responsibilities are agreed before signing; the target is not a cash or profit guarantee.
Does a signed-revenue guarantee mean collected cash or profit?
No. Signed first-year contract value records a contractual commitment under the agreed eligibility definition. Cash is what the customer has actually paid. Profit depends on revenue recognition, delivery costs and other expenses. ARR describes an annualized recurring run rate. A signed-value guarantee protects one defined measure, not all of these outcomes.
What happens if Ramp Year misses its approved engagement target?
If an approved engagement needs more time after the four paid months, Ramp Year continues operating through month six without extra base agency fees. A remaining eligible signed-value shortfall at month six is refunded up to fees paid. The agreement defines eligibility, client responsibilities, attribution and remedy timing; a public example cannot settle those conditions for a specific customer.
When does Ramp Year charge commission?
Ramp Year's public commission is 10% of eligible first-year customer revenue signed above $160,000 during the engagement. It applies to the excess, not automatically to the whole signed amount. There is no automatic commission on renewals or future client-led selling. Eligibility, attribution and invoicing mechanics are agreed before signing; approved external costs remain separate.
Who qualifies for Ramp Year’s free pipeline research?
Ramp Year's free pipeline research is for B2B companies that are funded or have at least $1m ARR, with annual deals of $5,000 or more. It follows a qualifying call. Those criteria identify the intended research audience; they do not automatically approve a paid engagement or confirm that target accounts are currently buying.
Is the free $50,000 pipeline offer confirmed demand or researched potential?
The free $50,000 pipeline offer represents researched potential account value, not confirmed demand or qualified sales pipeline. It illustrates five accounts at an assumed $10,000 annual value. Research can identify relevant companies, stakeholders and opening hypotheses; only buyer conversations can establish a problem, active decision and accepted opportunity.
Can I book a qualifying call before committing to a sales agency?
Yes. Ramp Year's start flow leads to a qualifying conversation before a paid engagement. Use it to discuss your buyer problem, current sales ownership, deal economics and whether free research or a full sales scope is appropriate. Booking the call is not a commitment to the $160,000 engagement or confirmation that the guarantee applies to your company.
What does a four-month embedded B2B sales engagement include?
A four-month embedded engagement connects market research, client-owned infrastructure, outbound, human-led selling, training and handover. Ramp Year's paid scope is four months at $40,000 per month, with a conditional two-month operating buffer for approved engagements if needed. Activities overlap according to buyer evidence; the timeline is a delivery plan, not a promise that customers buy on schedule.
What client responsibilities affect a guaranteed sales engagement?
Client responsibilities should be agreed before a guaranteed engagement: accurate product context, deliverable scope, technical and security support, authorized commercial decisions, access, timely collaboration and internal ownership. The public offer does not specify every contractual condition. Ask which responsibilities affect your approved target and how blocked actions are recorded, escalated and resolved.
