Press Release Body: As a small business owner you may find yourself in a situation where you want to partner with another business but they are asking for a commission on your services. You will want to be prepared to handle such a request BEFORE you find yourself in this situation. Whenever someone asks you for a commission in exchange for marketing your product or service, it is basically an affiliate or referral program. This can be one of the most powerful forms of marketing because it promotes word-of-mouth marketing. Who better to refer clients or customers to you than someone who fully understands the value of the services you have to offer?
Often these people are your current satisfied customers, or as is the case with this question, they may be strategic partners. Strategic partners are those individuals or businesses who agree to refer business to you, sometimes in exchange for you doing the same for them, or perhaps for a commission. Either way, it is important to make sure it is a win-win situation for both sides.
If you consider these individuals or businesses are in effect doing your marketing for you, then you realize paying a referral incentive or commission is merely a marketing expense.
When you consider that referred customers are \"warm leads\" and are a lot more likely to purchase from you than a \"cold\" prospect because they come with an endorsement from someone they trust, then you see even more how valuable this referral marketing can be.
My suggestion is to approach this as a potential business partnership. Make sure they completely understand the benefits you can provide to their customers and let them know you would like to design a mutually beneficial partnership. Before you offer to pay them a commission, find out what is important to them.
What are they looking for that you can possibly help them to get? In this case the potential partner IS your target audience so knows them and approaches them with a relevant proposition. Be willing to pay a referral fee or commission if that is all they are interested in, but also be open to other ideas.
I have negotiated some amazing partnerships just by spending some time talking and brainstorming with potential partners. In other cases I have straight affiliate/commission partnerships. It all depends on the partner and how we determine we can BEST HELP EACH OTHER to be successful. Techno Marketing
In the IT sector, Technical Knowledge is really necessary. Whether the person is in Sales, Customer Support, and Marketing and nevertheless in the Technical Department. We need to upgrade ourselves everyday & everymoment. It's just like a doctor who needs to upgrade with new medicines and therapies everyday. But the main magical word is marketing & sales. With the knowledge we are implementation many new things, that good but we need to market those products. I\'m not talking about the market. Just talking about the new product to be first demonstrated among the internal customers (fellow colleagues), the management, and the internal users. If the organization is confident about the product then the organization can market it properly to the outer customers. There might be several faults in the product but afterall we do not sell a product but our attitude. Once the attitude is sold positively we are happy. But the basic this is the marketing funda & nothing else. So good Technical knowledge + Proper Marketing Funda = A positive Deal
