Hey everyone! I'm super excited to announce the launch of our new affiliate program!
It's new for a couple reasons I'll explain below but yes we did previously have a referral program. We actually had over 230 people sign up as affiliates and nearly half of them referred at least 1 customer. On the contrary that means we had over 100 people that signed up and never referred a single customer. Also, our average number of sales from our affiliates was about 3 and just one person referred more than 10.
Ultimately the success of the program is on me. Admittedly I didn't spend too much time on our program after the initial setup. I didn't talk to affiliates and see what they wanted, I didn't ask them if they had enough resources to be successful, and overall I just didn't put my time into the project.
HOWEVER, 2020 is a new year and this is something I'm jazzed about. I want this new program to absolutely blow those previous numbers out of the water. A couple things we're doing different this time:
- We're paying 20% recurring commissions for every sale you make from your referral link. And the 20% recurring commission is for the LIFETIME of the account. Previously we were paying 10% commission to start and then it scaled up to 20% as the volume increased. We also previously would cut off the commission payments after 2 years. This time we're starting at 20% and paying out commissions for as long as the customer is active with PhoneWagon.- We've switched backend platforms. We're now using a platform called First Promoter which was designed for SaaS businesses. It's super easy to use and I'm excited for everyone to check it out!- More time investment. I'm committed to making our affiliate program a wild success and will be spending a lot of time working with affiliates to figure out how we can make them successful. This means more assets, more ideas, more content, etc. This will be a high priority for me.I'm definitely looking for help to make the program a success. If you know anything about running a successful SaaS affiliate program please reach out to me. I will literally pay you and be forever grateful.If you have ideas on how to recruit awesome affiliates, cool promotions that would move the needle for affiliates, and other ideas to make this thing a success, please share!Here's some links to get started with the PhoneWagon Affiliate Program:
