Grow by word of mouth

Referred leads are the best leads

Don’t miss the opportunity to get referred customers, who are far more likely to buy and buy again. It’s worth it to pay for these high-value customers.

Don’t pay for leads you ended up marketing to

Made a sale today to someone who was referred a year ago? You decide the time limits on referrer credit so you’re not paying for leads you ended up closing.

Reward referrers to keep them engaged

Set up reward programs to thank referrers for their business when they hit a certain number of referred customers or other milestones.

"The best part of Ontraport’s affiliate program capabilities is the history log that provides massive transparency. You're sure you're paying the right people the right amounts. It's also simple to set up in Ontraport if you understand what you're trying to achieve."
