Free affiliate recruiting resources

Evaluate affiliate recruiting results

Judge recruiting by relevant placements and business results. Directory access and account registrations are steps in the process, not proof of successful recruiting.

How to review a result

Start with the program, product category, period and goal. Record qualified prospects contacted, replies, approvals, active placements and valid orders or qualified leads. Account for refunds, cancellations, duplicate leads and existing customers.

Ask what changed

Did the new partner reach the intended audience? Did a relevant placement appear? Was the commission economically workable? Compare results with the program’s baseline and describe what remains uncertain. Avoid attributing every tracked order to incremental demand without evidence.
