Hi there, I'm running a small SEO/PPC company which I would like to expand by getting a few more customers. After being a affiliate marketer for x amunt of years I've always been a fan of this business model. Do you guys think it's possible to adopt in into a marketing firm where the firm pays affiliate marketers to send clients their way for a provision? My biggest consern would be how to track the sales. Should the affiliate marketers rely on my honesty by telling them how much whatever deal I make with the client cost them (since their entitled to a share of it)? Are there any companies that already do this?
I think you should discuss with the owners of the firms directly in detail about your prospects, if you impress them, you can have a deal. Remember all size of businesses are looking for sales and won't neglect any good offer.
