Hey people.
Thanks for all the advice over the years. I'm calling on the community for another fact/opinion-based recommendations based on my newest business venture.
The business:
I have a technology product, a completely unique angle, a headstart, and access to decades of experience, including my own. So before anyone wants to share advice on how competitive this is and so forth, trust me - this is a real thing, making money, and I won't be deterred. There is a high consultative element to this product, meaning working with, and talking to clients. I'm experienced in this and 100% prepared to scale on that front. I'm working on my close, networking, and materials, but for now, my close rate is average 40 days from first contact and 3 out of 10 prospects have closed. Two more are still considering. I suspect I will be able to double that with better planning, targeting, and closing experience. I'm not a career salesman but this is fun.
The scale:
I have decided to unleash affiliates into the picture. i want affiliates to locate and qualify potential clients for the business. In order to make it enticing, I am paying affiliates 3% monthly on the gross of sales. That is unending, and at some point, nearly all clients up their consumption, which will increase the payments to affiliates. To give you an idea of the kind of gold we're talking about - an average target client spends about 8-10K a month on this product. On the high side, that's $350. Over 12 months, that's $4200 - and new sales compound on that without limit, without expiration.
I may be assuming a lot, but I think that a competent marketer would see that yearly payout and scale their assess off to bring clients through the door.
Find clients, gather and qualify, and help me get appointments. It's that simple.
Question:
My question is this - what is the best affiliate network for this kind of program? I want to access more sophisticated, hungry marketers with ability to programatically qualify candidates, engage in some contact with them, while understanding a sophisticated technology and its value.
Thanks for your answers.
