I Build Affiliate Programs That Stop Leaking Revenue


Most B2B SaaS affiliate programs quietly underperform. A handful of inactive partners. Commissions that don’t convert. No one actually driving it forward.

I’m Nicole Pyzyk. I’ve spent 6+ years inside B2B SaaS, the last 3+ running affiliate programs across three products at MailerLite. I plug in as your fractional affiliate program manager and fix what’s stalled.

A man sits at a desk with a laptop, surrounded by charts and dashboards, looking overwhelmed and stressed.

Sound Familiar?

You launched an affiliate or partner program. Here’s the story it’s probably telling right now:

  • A few affiliates signed up, then went quiet
  • You don’t know which partners actually drive revenue
  • Commission structures feel like guesswork No one’s actually owning recruitment, activation, or reporting
  • Growth’s flatlined and you don’t know which lever to pull

Your program doesn’t need to be rebuilt. It needs to be managed. That’s what I do.

A Recent Example

A B2B SaaS client came to me with an affiliate program that had made $70K in total affiliate sales over the previous three years; barely moving.

Within 4 months, I grew it from 4% to 25% of the company’s total ARR. That’s 6X growth.

By month 6, the affiliate channel was generating $70K/month in recurring revenue on its own, matching three years of production, every single month.

(Full case study coming soon via PartnerStack.)

How I Manage Your Program

  • Audit & diagnosis — full review of tracking, commissions, partner mix, activation rates
  • Commission & structure optimization — models that motivate partners and protect margin
  • Affiliate recruitment — finding and onboarding the right SaaS-fit partners, not just volume
  • Reporting & ongoing management — clear monthly reporting on the metrics that matter.
  • Activation & enablement — onboarding sequences and resources that get affiliates actually promoting.

ABOUT ME

I’ve run these programs from the inside, not from a playbook

I spent six years inside MailerLite, the last three managing affiliate programs across MailerLite, MailerSend, and MailerCheck, before moving to agency-side work.

I know what breaks at scale and what’s just noise.

I work with B2B SaaS companies that have a program that isn’t performing, or that want to build one properly from the start. Based in Spain, working with clients across Europe, North America, and Latin America.

Three ways I work with B2B SaaS teams

Whether you’re launching from scratch or fixing an underperforming program, I handle the work end-to-end.

Partner recruitment


Finding affiliates who are actually aligned with your product and can drive qualified signups, not just clicks.

Activation & enablement


Getting signed-up partners to actually promote. The gap between recruitment and revenue is almost always activation.

Program infrastructure


Platform setup, migrations, reporting, and revenue tracking. The operational layer most programs skip and regret.
