Certification you can't talk your way through.
70%
Playbook rounds
Discovery, objections, closing, compliance — eight questions, six minutes per round. Best round per area counts; every miss maps to a course.
20%
The roleplay
Ten turns against Marco: a blunt two-location restaurant owner who got burned for $18k and wants a number. Run discovery, survive both objections, earn the close.
10%
Cognitive index
Twenty reasoning items, optional, displayable. Sharp reps like showing it; buyers like seeing it.
One hard rule: promise review-gating or invent a claim in the roleplay and you fail compliance automatically. Businesses trust the pool because we enforce it.
Better rank, better doors.
Businesses pay for visibility gates on their mandates. At the bottom you grind the open floor with everyone else; at the top you're one of a handful who even see the offer.
- Obsidian880–1000Summit mandates, assigned accounts, top rate bands. The floor nobody else sees.
- Gold700–879Prime postings, tier-3 scale work, lead roles.
- Silver500–699Vetted postings — the serious work starts here.
- Bronze300–499Ranked bidding on the open floor; your score shows next to your bid.
- Unranked0–299Open floor only. One assessment away from everything above.

The reps businesses ask for by name.
The top of the rep ladder, live. Mandates find these names first.
Nothing to sell yet? Sell ours.
Every certified rep sells Meridian from day one — our own merchant AI platform, live across the US and Canada on Square. The niche is every business with a till and a phone line: restaurants, cafés, QSRs, food trucks, salons, auto shops — anywhere orders ring and data piles up unread. The applications ride one subscription: POS analytics that finds the money they're leaving on the table, an AI phone line that answers every call and takes the order, and a website built in 48 hours. Recurring commission on every location you sign — structure per your rep agreement.
The wedge — their own data, finally talking
POS Analytics
Connects to the Square or Clover account they already run — no install, no hardware — and turns it into a daily operating brief.
- Sales, tickets, and margin vs. the prior 30 days — trends, not totals
- The recoverable-money card: dollars left on the table, itemized
- Top 3 Actions daily — kill a losing promo, reprice an item — each with a confidence score
- Margin leakage per product; staffing laid against the sales curve
“Your POS already knows why slow Tuesdays happen. Want to see?”
The expansion — every ring answered, every order captured
The AI Phone Line
An AI agent on their own number: answers every call, takes the order, sends it straight to the POS. This line never rings out.
- They pick the agent's voice from a whole cast — same ordering brain on every one
- Live demo lines — hand the owner your phone and let them order from the agent mid-pitch
- The call log reports the dollars it took — the subscription defends itself
- Pay-by-text — no card read over the phone
“Every missed call during a rush is a ticket you already paid to lose.”
The close — built work, sold on the same signature
Websites & Custom CRMs
The Site Sprint: $500 flat, a 48-hour contest where ranked builders build the actual site — the owner clicks through live previews and keeps one. And when they've outgrown spreadsheets, you sell the custom CRM: lead pipelines, job tracking, customer records, built to their operation by the same ranked bench and priced per scope.
- Finished sites, not mockups — the card only settles when they pick
- A five-minute brief you can walk on the call; they watch the contest live
- Custom CRM builds: quoting, dispatch, follow-ups — whatever their whiteboard does today
- Monthly hosting rides behind it — free on Vetted+, which sells the upgrade for you
- Billed and delivered through Foundry — off your plate after the close
“Close it tonight — you'll click through finished sites this weekend. The CRM conversation starts itself.”
The big ticket — sellers become business owners
Peptide Vendor Launch
The prospect is already selling research peptides — through DMs, group chats, and payment apps. They have customers; they don't have a business. Foundry builds it: storefront with research-use-only compliance gating, payment rails, order desk with shipping labels, AI phone line, text line, owner's console. $2,000 establishment fee, real costs passed through at cost, website folded in for $1,000 more.
- The pitch writes itself: they're one screenshot away from losing their whole operation — a real storefront is the upgrade they already know they need
- One flat fee for the entire operating stack — the same one our own research-vertical stores run on
- Costs at cost with receipts — domains, hosting, phone lines, supplies; zero markup, which closes the trust objection for you
- Website add-on rides the same checkout — one signature, two products
- A one-screen brief you can walk on the call; they pay online, the build starts, and it's off your plate
“You've built the customer list the hard way. For two grand you stop being a phone number and start being a store.”
How the sell runs
01
Open with their data
“What did your slowest hour cost you last week?” Their POS knows. They don't. Show them.
02
Demo live, never slides
Demo accounts per vertical, in your portal. Ten minutes in a real dashboard beats any deck.
03
Land, then expand
Analytics is the wedge. The phone line attaches once they feel the missed-call math.
04
Bolt the website on
The $500 Site Sprint rides the same signature — the easiest yes of the call.
The three objections you’ll hear tonight
“Square already gives me reports.”
Square shows what happened. Meridian says what to do about it.
“Another monthly fee.”
One recovered dinner rush covers the month — and the demo shows the leak before they pay for the plug.
“I'm not technical.”
Nothing to install. It connects to the POS they already run; the phone line is just a number that starts answering.
Everything a closer needs. Nothing else.
Mandates match your rank
Commission offers from real businesses, gated by tier. Climb and the offers get bigger, warmer, and less crowded.
The academy climbs with you
