Question
My fiancee is a Speech Pathologist managing a small business, where she provides therapy to children with developmental needs. She's considering partnering with another local speech therapy provider(s) to set up an affiliate arrangement, wherein she would receive some type of referral commission for passing on quality leads.
She's in a good position as her schedule is full and she doesn't have the bandwidth to help out all the families that inquire about services.
Do you have any advice on a reasonable, fair compensation structure for an arrangement like this? Is there any way to accurately track her referrals, or will she simply have to trust that my partners would credit me if a lead converts?
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Vince
Answer
I would use an existing service like JVZoo. They already have the platform and structure and you don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are Wordpress plugins that will help with affiliate tracking as well, but I don't trust them as much (which is simply my opinion, not a fact about their validity).
I do believe this specific idea you've described for referrals is a good one, because of the reasons I discuss in this video:
