I am trying to figure out the best way to track my leads via email. I want to forward buyers to the seller, but make sure i get compensated for leads. Is there a program already out there? I was thinking of giving the buyer a masked email address which sends and email to all 3, Me, the buyer and the seller, and all 3 will get a MASKED emaill address. If the seller gives out peronal info, such as website/ his/her own email I can disable the masked email address so it no longer sends to the buyer. This way i can always make sure I get money for any leads.; What is the best way to do this? are there scripts out there for this?
So you send email to 3 parties with the lead, I suggest you to include only links to your site. Also, send emails individually from your server so no email masking is necessary. In this way you can restrict all access only through your website.
consider the following pseudo code. for each trade lead prepare email (probably using a HTML template) with links only to your site send email to seller's email address send email to buyer's email address send email to yours email address (with information about buyer and seller) next Code (markup): What you get from this... seller doesn't get buyers contacts and buyer doesn't get seller's contacts. But you get all the information and their contacts. See How to send email using PHP.
