- Additional bonuses of 500.00 for second conversion

Feel free to research our company thoroughly and you'll see
the effort we've put into ethics & integrity.

Thank you in advance

What states can you NOT service?

Registered w/Attorney General
Registered w/Secretary of State​

How much lead info has to be captured?
Is there a form I can put right on my websites?

 

[Marc Chase]

Affiliate program

We can work in all 50 states. Our licensing and bonding is federal so it covers all states, attorney general and secretary is required additionaly for our home state only...so no problems there.

For mortgages 36 states (can gather list of you need)

I can certainly create a form for you, great idea.

Thank you for the questions and let me know if you have any others.

Respectfully,

Marc Chase

 

[AffiliateGuild]

Yes, I'd like to know which states for the mortgages as well. Thanks!

What is the life of the cookie?
Is the cookie set by first-in or last-in?

What info is required on your forms for sign-up?
Can you show me a sample?
I realize credit/debt/mortages take in a lot of info,
but what I'm asking is how much info is needed in
the initial form? What's the barrier to entry?

 

[AffiliateGuild]

Also, who is the owner(s) of this company?
Thanks!

 

[Marc Chase]

Mangie Koza is owner

Interesting you brought that up. We've tried several things
to make the sign up as easy and non-intrusive as humanly
possible. We had a form which was simply name & email for
awhile so we had a chance to chat with clients before having
to put vital info.

our program is extremely hands on, personalized and in depth.
once somebody calls for questions, interviews etc. Our sign
up ratio is extremely high....literally like 95%

and below is approved states. (7 additional states pending)

Ok, thank you for that information.

Would they consider a life-time cookie?
Is the cookie set by first-in or last-in ... meaning, by the
first affiliate to introduce the cookie or the last affiliate to
introduce the cookie?

A lifetime cookie or a 365 day cookie with a first-in would
be very appealing.

I'm looking at your Fix Your Credit | Reduce Your Debt | Eliminate Credit Card Debt
"Settlment" is a typo you might want to fix for better seo.
I like the debt intake form there with only the three items.
Is that something that could be agreed upon to place on the affiliate's website?

And, your site is very nice looking.
I think it would convert to clients very well.
A personalized in-take process is also a great conversion strategy.

 

[Marc Chase]

Thank you very much for the compliments.

Its no surprise this is a horrible industry. Our strategy has
always been very straight forward. Its a huge industry, its
a necessary one and needed ethical, helpful leadership.

We are putting our hearts and souls into being that company so
your compliments are truly appreciated (so is the typo)

365 day cookie i have no problems with and the first in first out
thing....in all honesty, I dont know what it means. (were new to affiliates)

If its recommended, we're all ears

The form on affiliate sites I think is a good Idea, so yes.

Thanks for all the suggestions. If you are familiar with all this
which obviously you are, we just may need a little instruction
on things like first in, last out etc.

I looked at this page.
That might be a good in-take for you as the parent company.
I think it is far too much for an affiliate's site.
The least amount is best on the affiliate's site.
I think it's best to get the contact info: name, email, phone and
then you (the company) contact the clients for the rest of the info.
The amount of the debt isn't important ... just have the affiliates
say what is the minimum amount of debt you can work with.

What do you think of this?

 

[AffiliateGuild]

First-in = first affiliate to introduce the cookie

If the client clicks on my link as the first-in affiliate, if they become a sale in the 365 days time of the cookie ... I earn income.

Last-in = the last affiliate to introduce the cookie

Last-in cookies say that which ever affiliate was the last to influence the sign-up of the client, is the affiliate that would earn the income.

There is debate on which is better, but I think with finance services like yours, the first-in is the most fair to the affiliates. Your clients usually take a longer time to sign-up ... they debate which services to use. So, to be fair to your affiliates for helping to bring you these hard to get clients, I think first-in is more fair.

 

[Marc Chase]

again thank you

first of all, I dont want to overload the board here if thats a problem, so feel free to email me. If its not a problem great!

Ok, as mentioned we're new to affiliate marketing. I was told to have affiliates go directly to sign up because affiliates tend to be afraid
the client would get "stolen" if they called us first.

Now, it makes no sense to me to lose a hard working affiliate over a
couple lousy dollars, but i got the point.

If that info is wrong...again Im all ears and if you're interested in working
with us....as I said, we'll do anything possible to accommodate.

 

[AffiliateGuild]

One more thing is that you should probably pay a good English editor to go through your website and correct grammar and typos for you. That would give you stronger credibility.

Also, debt-settlement.html page says that you have your own settlement programs that different from others? How so? What makes yours better?
I think answering these questions in more detail will help your potential clients feel good bout giving you their contact info.

I'll check back later for your answers.
Thanks for your time on this.

You're not overloading the board.
We're educating the affiliates on what makes a good finance affiliate program
here ... and you're sharing about your program in the appropiate place.

Yes, I absolutely would not send you clients first and hope you paid me
afterwards. You're right. First sign-up affiliates and then work with them to
help them help you.

I'm not sure where I lost you with my questions?

It's clear you're new to affiliate marketing, and yes you have a hard niche.
I'm trying to help you get a solid and excellent affiliate program to offer
to affiliates. Even now, I have affiliates reading this series of posts.

 

[Marc Chase]

we have somebody working on grammar as we speak.

Debt Settlement. Its rather lengthy so I'll paint some broad strokes
1) Greed - average fee is 14% we charge 8%. It still makes a ton of money. I dont understand 14%

2) because we have a credit repair mentality, credit scores are first things we think of. So, while client is saving their "settlement" money, we keep the debts tied up with validation, method of validation, FCBA requests etc. What this does (not always) is prevents them from marking the accounts late while they are saving. Goal being to get them debt free and preserving their credit.

3) Greed again: Settlement companies get paid on the total amount of debt settled. Many debts that arent even necessary to settle are included because its more commissions. We work on repair first (where applicable) if we can get something removed, then its less the client has to pay. Again, still a ton of money.

4) we always attempt to pay for deletions (credit repair mentaility). Collection agents usually just care about money and will delete the tradeline entirely as long as they get paid.

Again, settlement companies dont do credit repair so those things aren't their concern. Since we want everybody to eventually turn to a mortgate, it is in our best interest to perfect their score no matter what service were providing.

Marc, this strategy makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for outlining it!

Your help is really, really appreciated. We truly want to run a solid affiliate program. We've held off because one of the largest credit repair companies uses a lot of affiliates and lets them say illegal things, so we were always a little gun shy.

If you think this is something that would have potential for you, perhaps I can pay you to help consult initially and iron out the fine details. We know we are good at what we do, our record is flawless and will stay that way.

The affiliate thing we're just going to have a little learning curve, but not worried.

Again, your input is very appreciated.

Thanks for the offer to consult for you.
I'm afraid I won't be able to take you up on that offer.
I think you're on the right road to success.
I'll follow up with you later when your program is more developed.

Like I said, in addition to what you've listed,for me these items would be ideal:
- 365 day cookie
- first-in cookie
- short form for my website: name, email, phone only

Your BBB record is VERY impressive.
Is there a link to it?

As for what the affiliates say, make them keep it legal or don't have them as
affiliates. Don't allow bad affiliates to harm your business.

Offer your affiliates the correct words to say!!!

 

[Marc Chase]

I changed the thing to 365. I wrote the software company about the first in thing because I dont see it in the control panel and finally, I'll get you a code for a form.

the BBB record can be found on their website

just tell me how to get it to you. Dont know if code will work on this forum.


A little shameless plug; we were just named an honorable mention by the Chamber of Commerce for Best Customer Service Company. considering the industry, we were thrilled and that is on the Chambers website somewhere as well

 

[Linda Buquet]

Congrats Marc!

Bobbie gave you lots of good feedback. Maybe any further details can be worked out between you 2 in PMs and then just let us know if there are any major updates to the program in this thread.

 

[Marc Chase]

hahahah I told him was a lot of board space. Now he got me in trouble

Sorry and thank you very much for a terrific site where new guys can learn.
