Our system is set up so that when you refer a
visitor, our phone/fax/mail order form and our 'Contact'
page displays your
Affiliate ID. On those pages, it is called a Book
Code. So when one of your referred customers calls to
place their order, our reps ask if there is a book code
below the phone number on the page. When they answer
yes, the rep fills the Affiliate ID # in their order form
and you get paid for the sale.
The same is true of mailed and faxed
orders. Your Affiliate ID is displayed on the form. So when
the order arrives, your Affiliate ID (Book Code) is
displayed, and you get paid for the sale!
To test this
now, do this:
1-
Go to this
banner page and enter your Affiliate ID to create a
banner
2- Click on the banner (this puts your Affiliate Cookie
on your PC)
3- Hit your 'Back' button twice to come back here
4- Go to either our "Contact" page or
Phone/Fax/Mail form
Your
Affiliate ID will be displayed in green!!!
On those pages, it is called a Book Code. Our
Client Services Representatives look ask for this number
when anyone calls to place an order and our order
processing dept staff take note of this number on mail
and fax orders. This ensures you get paid on
all your referred orders.
