Internet Marketing -- 7
Important Criteria for Picking a Good Associate Program Software
1. Real Time Tracking for Associates -- This means your associates can check how many people they have sent you and how many sales they got any time day or night by going to a web page and putting in their passcode.
2. Order Confirmation for Associates -- When an order is placed, your associate gets an email notifying them about the order. This can be very motivating for your associates.
3. Fair payment for associates -- Your software should track the sales accurately and provide means to track the sale whether it comes on the Internet, via fax or phone.
4. Automatic check writing capability -- Writing commission checks by hand can be very time consuming. This allows the software to output to your accounting program so you can print the checks for your associates.
5. Associate Newsletter capability -- This function allows you to broadcast an email to all or part of your associates.
6. Web Based Admin Center -- You must think globally. This function allows you to work with your associate tracking system wherever you have web access. You are not forced to be at your home computer.
7. Associate Search capability -- Associates are forever forgetting their passcodes and other simple administrative things. This allows you to find them quickly in your database to help them out.
