Your Make partnership just got an unfair advantage: Make AI agents + MDF.

If you’re a Make partner (or building services on top of Make), the fastest path to pipeline right now is a repeatable, industry-specific webinar where you demo 2–3 Make AI Agent use cases and live-build one.
In this post you’ll get a ready-to-run webinar format, a positioning script for Make AI Agents, and an MDF-backed promotion plan that turns one webinar into a month of consult calls.
What are Make AI Agents (and how to position them in client conversations)
Make AI Agents are best positioned as “automation that can decide,” not just automation that runs.
Use this simple positioning ladder:
Automation: rules-based workflows (if X, then Y)
AI-assisted automation: AI helps draft/extract/classify, but you still decide the next step
Agentic automation: the system can plan/choose actions and execute across tools, with guardrails
When talking to clients, keep it practical:
Start with a high-cost, high-frequency workflow (intake, lead follow-up, ticket triage, reporting)
Name the decision the agent makes (what to do next, who to route to, what to ask for)
Name the guardrails (approved actions, confidence thresholds, human review when uncertain)
The webinar that sells: the 45-minute “3 agents + 1 build” format
This is the repeatable format to run once per month per vertical.
Webinar title formula
Use: “3 Make AI Agents for [ROLE/INDUSTRY] + live build”
Examples:
“3 Make AI Agents for Real Estate Teams + live build a lead follow-up agent”
“3 Make AI Agents for Staffing Agencies + live build an intake & screening agent”
“3 Make AI Agents for MSPs + live build a ticket triage agent”
Agenda (45 minutes)
3 minutes: The problem (manual ops + context switching)
Step 2: Agent prompt (decide: qualify + next action)
Step 3: Action router (route to Slack, CRM, email, task)
Step 4: Human-in-the-loop (approval step for low confidence)
Pro tip: if you also use Zapier, highlight how Make and Zapier differ in “agentic” use cases, then recommend the right tool for the audience’s level of complexity.
The MDF-backed promotion plan for partner-led webinars
Many partner programs use MDF as a reimbursement model: you pay for approved co-marketing expenses up front and get a portion reimbursed after you provide proof of execution.
Here’s a simple MDF-ready promotion plan for your next webinar:
2-week timeline
Day -14: landing page + registration form + tracking
Day -12: email #1 (announce) + partner co-branded social
Day -9: paid ads start (LinkedIn + retargeting)
Day -7: email #2 (value + agenda)
Day -2: email #3 (reminder)
Day 0: webinar + live CTA
Day +1: replay email + consult CTA
Day +3: “here’s the template” email (only after attending or booking)
What to submit for MDF approval
The webinar abstract + target audience
Co-branding plan (logos, landing page, ad creatives)
Budget breakdown (ad spend, design, list rental if allowed)
“Agents are risky” → Guardrails + approvals + limited actions
“We don’t have clean data” → Start with one workflow + one source of truth
“We already have automations” → Great: agents sit on top to decide what to do next
