1. What do I need to join the Alliance? Any production requirements or residence restrictions?
We have no production requirements, but we do pay larger and/or consistent producers more. We also have plenty of contests and quality perks to make it even better regardless if you sell a lot or a little.
International affiliates are welcome! We pay by Dwolla, Paypal, or by mailing you a check. If you're a strong producer we can arrange to wire commissions internationally on our tab. ...that should make some of you guys really happy.
You don't need a website (although having your own website helps). Some of our producers fax in hand written order forms after having face-to-face meetings with their clients. That's great with us. Others use online ads to drive targeted traffic... and that's fine too. All we require for marketing efforts is that we approve the material used. This industry is full of too much 'sort-of right' promotion and statements. This policy keeps clients happy and returns absent.
2. How much will I be paid for referrals? How do I know I'll get proper credit if I promote you?
'How much' seems like a simple question. As a general rule we pay 30% of the total sales price to you. But it's a lot like asking 'How much is a car?' ...well, do you mean new or used? Honda Civic or Audi Q7? The shortest answer is a disservice to you and us.
The longer answer is that we offer options for nearly any level of investor (including some current clients with eight figure portfolios). From single transaction 'marketing compensation' payments in the thousands on a real estate transaction to simple, recurring, $15 monthly payments that can build into thousands monthly (as you send more clients)... we've worked hard to make our platform the best 'other' thing you can do.
Our Alliance program has more accurate tracking than anyone else's we've spoken with. We use per-affiliate custom phone numbers and email addresses. We tag all PDF reports and presentations. We tag order forms for your use. Add to those efforts, PostAffiliatePro (used by thousand of firms, and widely considered the best affiliate software available), and KISSmetrics data (a second funnel tracking solution allowing us a 'backup' method, a cross-check, and the ability to report back to you where different types of traffic fall off in our funnel if you take the time to tag your traffic).
It boils down to one thing. We do right by our producers. If you'd like to learn more about cookies, flash cookies, IP logging, client data cross-checking, or anything else we do to track and properly credit you just shoot us an email at: alliance@completeira.com
Commissions are sent by your choice of Dwolla.com, Paypal.com, or check. If need be, we can arrange to pay by wire too. Payments are issued twice a month on approximately the 15th and 30th of each month.
4. How am I allowed to market CompleteIRA or it's related services?
Our products are very unique. People rarely want a drill. They want a hole. You may market our product as an add-on to what you're already doing (this is very common with Realtors and Financial Planners), or you may make it a combination promotion with some other product or service (like gold or silver coins, insurance, or estate planning). Or you can just focus on giving people more freedom than they have right now.
Our only rule is that we must approve the promotion ahead of time. This is set-in-stone to protect both us and you. Slight changes in wording make all the difference as far as client expectations (and compliance regulations) go. This keeps satisfaction up, and confusion down.
5. Do you have a training program for Alliance members? Any materials to use in promotion?
Yes! We have a fantastic marketing director who makes training videos to cover key points and ideas, as well as being available for one-on-one training. We have technical folks available for joint phone calls with clients to answer complex questions, and for internet based promotions we have some excellent resources and ideas to stay fresh and unique.
