There have been many good answers offered to this question. I agree heartily with many of them.

Mentioned already:

-Help them prepare the appropriate documents to sign up.
-Help them make their first 1 or 2 listings.
-Treat them as a customer and provide good customer service.
-Promote their products in your stream messages and PSA/CSA mailer.

All these are very good ideas. There are 2 more that I would like to add.

1. I offer 10 Triple

Excellent question;

One of the most important piece of this business is TripleClicks ECA's.

I have a few steps I follow in order to refer a new ECAS:

First I meet with the owner in order to check their products, availability, quality, etc.

Next I check their web page, if the have one.

After reviewing and explaining how ECA program works I refer them.
One thing I emphasized is documents they should supply, in order to be approved faster.

Admittedly this is something I am learning quickly how to do myself. One step at a time.

What has helped me understand how the e~commerce section and its affiliates work was firstly to become one. Thus I explored the hands on approach ensuring that my knowledge I was going to share was current and up to date [as far as a constantly changing internet environment will allow that is]. As I was experimenting I found

Hello Stephan Devos,

I almost didn't want to answer this question but i have to, simply because i was in a similar situation some days ago with an ECA i have referred.

Back to your question "How do you help a new ECA you've referred to start faster, get his/her products listed, and stay active?"

You have done the most part of the job by referring an ECA which i think is the most difficult thing. So what do you now do after confirming that he has done all

The ECA that you have referred is to be guided to get started up quickly, for this you must first help them complete all the registration formalities. On completing this they must get their products listed which needs approval by TripleClicks and this takes maybe up to a maximum of 24 hrs.

Next and the most crucial part is to help them get sales as this is the only thing that will keep them active. For this you can do the following:

1. Promote there ECA link to your SFI contacts

That's a great question sir.The answer below is what i am thinking about your question..

Mostly the ECA gets referred by us through our gateway which is published in websites or we personally give gift cards to friends ,family or our co-workers..Most of them doesn't know the TripleClicks policy completely..The information here is overwhelming ,so most of them will not read every article to get started..That's where our job comes in..We must train them step by step..

1.Registration

Thanks for this question because it gives us a chance to organize our activity based on a conscious strategy in the topic...

I suggest to follow these steps if you would like to work successfully here at SFI with an ECA Partner:

1. You have to be more or less familiar with the products fo this ECA.
2. It is practical if you have knowledge about the available offer for similar products
at TripleClicks if there was any.
3. During the invitation of this ECA Partner

Help them make their first 1 or 2 listings

Promote their products in your stream messages and PSA/CSA mailer.

Send them some gift cards. Gift Card gives them a tool to help customers know about their online store and there are many customers

It generates activity for the ECA and he will stay active. You get the commissions from these established buyers where as you would not get commissions if they were buying from the ECA directly

Do a little bit of work

Once the ECA has registered, you can encourage them to start listing as soon as possible. Of course there are some ways to encourage them and i do the listed ones here

1. Once they are registered, they need to purchase at least one TC to start listing. If they hesitates, i issue them a Girt Certificate to purchase TC and start listing immediately. Of course, this gives me 100 VP too after there first listing.

2. I ask the product they are going to list and keep my ads ready

ECA program is a remarkable project that offers the most convenient way to advertise and sell products throughout the world. The conditions of eligibility and registration are simple and do not need complicated administration or payment in advance. Such conditions provide an opportunity to easily achieve the interest of potential customers.
