Subject: Qualified AI MBA leads for [University Name] — performance basis, no upfront cost

Hi [First Name], I hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out because I run MBAs.ai — a comparison engine specifically for AI-focused MBA programs — and I believe [University Name]'s [Program Name] would be an excellent fit for our partnership program. Here's the short version of what we do: We drive thousands of business professionals each month who are actively searching for AI-focused MBA programs. They complete a 4-question matching quiz telling us their goals, format preferences, budget, and background. We then match them to programs like yours and deliver the full lead record directly to your admissions team. You pay nothing upfront, and nothing per lead. Our commission is 10–15% of first-year tuition, invoiced only on confirmed enrollments. Every lead you'd receive includes: • Full name, work email, and phone number • Professional background (title, industry, years of experience) • Stated goals and budget range • Compatibility score with your program Given [University Name]'s [mention specific program feature — e.g., ACBSP accreditation / AI concentration / fully online format], I expect your program would perform exceptionally well in our matching algorithm. Would you have 20 minutes this week or next to explore whether this would be a good fit? I'm happy to share our traffic data and lead volume projections. Best regards, [Your Name] MBAs.ai | partnerships@mbas.ai

Tip: Find the right contact by searching LinkedIn for "[University Name] MBA Director of Admissions" or checking the program's website for a "Contact Admissions" page. Program directors respond better than generic admissions inboxes.

Subject: Introducing MBAs.ai — AI MBA lead source partnership

Hi [Partnerships Team / First Name], I'm reaching out because MBAs.ai — a niche comparison engine for AI-focused MBA programs — generates significant intent-driven traffic from business professionals actively evaluating AI MBA programs. I know [Risepoint / your OPM] works with universities like [NKU / example university] on their MBA enrollment marketing. I believe we could be a complementary lead source for the AI-focused programs in your portfolio. What we offer: • Pre-qualified leads (goal, budget, format, industry all captured) • Real-time webhook or CSV delivery • Performance-based pricing — we earn on enrollment, aligned with your model • Niche audience: business professionals specifically seeking AI-integrated MBAs I'd love to explore whether a referral partnership or sub-affiliate arrangement makes sense. We can be flexible on structure — revenue share, flat fee per enrolled student, or a hybrid. Would it make sense to connect with the right person on your partnerships team? Best, [Your Name] MBAs.ai | partnerships@mbas.ai

Tip: For Risepoint, look for their "University Partnerships" or "Channel Partnerships" contact. For 2U and edX, search LinkedIn for "Partner Development Manager." Lead with your niche — AI MBA is a hot category they'll recognize.

Subject: Re: Qualified AI MBA leads for [University Name]

Hi [First Name], Just following up on my note from [X days/weeks ago] about a potential lead generation partnership with MBAs.ai. I know you're busy, so I'll keep this brief — I have [X] leads in our system right now that matched to AI MBA programs at the [$15K–$30K / $20K–$40K] tuition range. These are business professionals who completed our quiz in the last [30 days] and are actively evaluating programs. If [University Name] isn't the right fit or the timing isn't right, no problem at all. But if there's any interest in receiving a sample lead record or a brief call to see if this makes sense, I'd love to make it easy. Happy to start with a simple 30-day pilot — no long-term commitment required. Best, [Your Name] MBAs.ai | partnerships@mbas.ai

Tip: Send this 7–10 business days after your first email if you haven't heard back. Keep it very short. Offering a "30-day pilot" dramatically reduces the perceived risk and increases response rates.
