Local businesses are the backbone of every community in America and they're losing ground to national chains, rising costs, and technology they can't access alone. Bag Carriers is building a curated network of solution providers who share a belief that local business is worth fighting for. Frank vets every partnership personally.
Walk down any main street in any mid-size American town and count the empty storefronts. Most of those closures weren't inevitable. They happened because the people running those businesses didn't have access to the right tools or anyone in their corner who understood both the problem and the solution.
National chains have teams to evaluate vendors, negotiate pricing, and implement systems. Independent owners get whatever their cousin recommends or whatever salesperson calls first. The gap between the tools available and the businesses that need them is exactly what Bag Carriers was built to close.
Independent operators have real businesses to run. They need someone who already did the evaluation work, who knows the product deeply, and who is personally accountable for the recommendation. That's the role Bag Carriers plays. That's why partners matter.
Every solution Bag Carriers carries gets a human being who understands it deeply, believes in it, and introduces it personally to business owners who need it. With context, not a cold pitch.
Every introduction follows a real conversation Frank has already had.
Purpose-built copy around the problem you solve, hosted by us.
High independent business density that national teams underserve.
Clients who feel supported convert better and churn less.
Trust built in one vertical transfers across the network.
When something goes wrong, partners hear about it directly.
Not a reseller program. A curated network of solution providers who share a belief that local business is worth fighting for and who have built something worth carrying.
This is not a volume game. Bag Carriers carries a small number of solutions in each category, the ones Frank can genuinely recommend to a client and stake his name on. Here's what clears the bar.
Not enterprise customers who happen to have a small business version. Something that makes a measurable difference for an independent operator with 2 to 50 employees, limited technical resources, and real problems to solve.
Hidden fees, processing markups buried in fine print, and annual contract lock-ins are disqualifying. Bag Carriers has built its reputation on helping owners understand what things actually cost.
Frank personally vets every solution. That means understanding it deeply enough to explain it, demo it, and defend it when a client pushes back. If the product doesn't hold up under that scrutiny, it doesn't go in the network.
The worst outcome is a client who trusted Frank's recommendation and got abandoned post-signing. Partners are expected to support customers we send with the same accountability Bag Carriers brings to the relationship.
Bag Carriers earns through referral arrangements, residuals, or reseller agreements depending on the solution. We're not looking for the highest commission. We're looking for a fair structure that aligns incentives and reflects real value.
The businesses Bag Carriers works with aren't one-time transactions. The solutions we carry need to be built on the same philosophy. A client who is better off in year three than they were in year one because the solution kept delivering.
Bag Carriers tells clients when a solution isn't right for them, even when there's a commission at stake. Partners should expect and respect that.
Tell us about your solution. Frank reviews every application personally. If there's a fit, you'll hear back within a few business days for a real conversation, not a form letter.

First introductions to real clients
Once Frank knows the solution well enough to represent it honestly, the introductions begin. Qualified, contextualized, and delivered personally.
We're selective because we have to be. Every solution I carry is attached to my name and my clients' trust. If I can't stake that on your product, I won't recommend it. If I can, there's no more motivated channel you'll find.
