I use ArboStar to run my tree service business. It has helped my business thrive and is an excellent tool for business owners looking for systems to improve workflow.
Tell us what you do and what you would talk about. We tell you what we can offer.
Benefits
Here is what you get.
The full system for your company, whatever its size. Tree companies pay from US$149 a month for it. Onboarding, training and support included.
US$300 to US$2,000 for every referred company that becomes a paying customer, plus cash milestone bonuses as their signed contracts add up. Full table below.
We make posts, reels and videos with you and share them on ArboStar's Instagram and Facebook, with credit to you and a link to your channels.
Be a guest on an ArboTalks webinar or a podcast and talk about estimating, hiring, equipment or safety.
Product feedback sessions, so what is slow or missing in ArboStar reaches the people who build it.
Join us at industry events alongside ArboStar's partners.
Referral rewards, in the open
These are the standard rewards from our Referral Program and the starting point for every ambassador.
| Referred company's annual contract | Your reward |
|---|---|
| Up to US$3,000 | US$300 |
| US$3,001 – US$5,000 | US$500 |
| US$5,001 – US$10,000 | US$1,000 |
| US$10,001 and up | US$2,000 |
Rewards are paid in cash within 30 days of the referred company's first cleared payment, and reversed if that company refunds under the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Paid for qualifying referrals that become paying ArboStar customers. Existing customers and companies already talking to us do not count as new referrals. How the referral program works
Ambassadors receive free ArboStar software and cash referral rewards, and disclose that relationship when they talk about ArboStar.
We will not promise views. We will put your work in front of people who do your job.
Why ambassadors
ArboStar was built by arborists, for arborists. Tree companies on five continents run on it now.
We want the people talking about ArboStar to be the ones who use it on the job, not an agency. That is what the ambassador program is for.
Founding Partner
A seven-part documentary about the people working in tree care, filmed over three and a half years in the UK, Europe and North America by our ambassador Simeon Balsam of Visual Climber.
ArboStar is a Founding Partner of the series alongside the Tree Care Industry Association. The premiere is planned for November 2026.
When Simeon shared his vision for The Arborist documentary, supporting it was a no-brainer for us.
Saby SattlerDirector of Sales, ArboStarActivities
Owners show how they schedule crews or write an estimate. Climbers film a normal day. Trainers show how they assess new climbers.
If something in ArboStar annoys you, say so. We want to hear it.
Run your business on ArboStar and show how you plan the week or build an estimate, as Aaron Schmitz and Odon Molina do. Introduce other tree companies if you want to.
Join a webinar or a podcast to talk about training, assessment and the practical side of tree care, as Oliver Moore does with the climbers he assesses.
Tell industry stories in your own format, as Simeon Balsam does with his podcast, YouTube channel and documentary.
These are examples. You decide how much you do.
Who it is for
Small accounts are welcome. If you do the work, already show it somewhere in public and have an opinion about it, apply.
You climb, cut or lead a crew, and show it: social, video or teaching.
You schedule crews, write estimates and chase the invoices, and talk about it: a channel, a podcast or a stage.
You train or mentor climbers, or run courses.
You post, film or podcast about tree work.
How it works
Fill in the form below: who you are, what you do, and why you want to work with us.
A conversation with our partnerships and sales team about your work, your audience and what you would like to do.
A first post, a webinar slot or a product feedback session, whatever we agreed, with someone from our team alongside you.
Before you apply
No. There are no scripts and no quotas. We agree what makes sense for you and your audience, and it is yours to change if life gets busy.
No minimum. If you work in tree care, share it somewhere in public and have something to say, apply.
Say so. Nobody will ask you to say something you do not believe. Feedback on what is slow or missing is one of the reasons the program exists.
Nothing. You do not pay to apply or to join. Every approved ambassador runs the full system free, at any size.
As much or as little as you agree. A first step can be one post, one webinar slot or one product feedback session.
No. Referral rewards are one part of it. If you mainly want to refer companies and give product feedback, the Referral Program is the lighter route.
Our partnerships and sales team. If it looks like a fit we set up a call about your work and your audience. If not, we tell you.
Yes. Ambassadors receive free ArboStar software and cash referral rewards, and disclose that relationship when they talk about ArboStar.
Apply
Two or three lines about your work is enough. We will tell you what we can offer.
