Sub-account Affiliate Manager

it would be great to have a campaign setting which sets affiliates to be automatically removed after X allotted time of inactivity. i.e. if an affiliate has no referrals, sales, or leads after 6 months, there is an email sent to them warning of removal from the campaign, along with an internal notification for staff to be made aware. This would encourage affiliate performance, and reduce administrative overhead in maintaining active affiliate database.

It would be helpful to be able to see which accounts are active and which are paused in list view for Sub Accounts. Right now you have to click into the account to see that it is paused. We would like to see from the list of accounts if an account is Active or Paused. Thank you.

I’d like to propose adding a Ranks & Rewards feature within the Affiliate Manager. This would allow businesses to create a tiered ranking system for affiliates, complete with rewards and incentives based on performance. Benefits: Motivate Affiliates: A structured rank and reward system can boost motivation, encouraging affiliates to strive for higher performance levels. Clear Progression Path: Affiliates can see their progress and understand what they need to achieve to reach the next rank, promoting goal-setting and increased engagement. Customizable Rewards: Businesses can tailor rewards to fit their specific goals and incentives, offering cash bonuses, product discounts, or exclusive access to resources. Enhanced Tracking: Easily track affiliate progress and reward distribution within the GHL platform, reducing manual tracking and improving efficiency. Implementation Ideas: Introduce a Ranks & Rewards section in the Affiliate Manager settings. Allow businesses to define rank names, criteria for achieving ranks, and associated rewards. Include options for automatic rank upgrades based on performance metrics like sales, leads, or conversions. Provide affiliates with a dashboard to view their current rank, progress, and available rewards. Adding Ranks & Rewards to the Affiliate Manager would not only help businesses drive affiliate performance but also enhance the overall management and engagement of their affiliate programs.

As an agency that regularly needs to be active in every sub account it would be beneficial to have a way to sort them into groups. Many of our clients have multiple locations with their own sub account but it would reduce scrolling and ease of use of the tool when switching between sub accounts.

For agencies who will create similar Affiliate Programs for various clients, it is important to be able to clone/copy an affiliate campaign. That way a template location/sub-account with a template affiliate campaign can be created. When this template location is copied, all assets (including the affiliate campaign) will also be copied in order to quickly customize the full template for a client.

Right now, when you have a sale that didn’t get correctly attributed to an affiliate, you can’t connect it to the affiliate unless it is part of a funnel. This seems like an arbitrary limitation - I should be able to connect any order in my account to any affiliate no matter where the sale came from.

I'm currently working on a referral marketing system that I want to offer my clients so I have been researching best practices... I see sites like 'referralcandy' has decent functionality on how to predict self-referral fraud... so I'm trying to model off some of these in my custom GHL build system... I assume that is done on the back end by referencing the IP Address Could something like that be made possible on GHL? I see other scenarios commonly mentioned as referral fraud... ... a high volume of referrals in a short time and referral codes leaked on coupon sites Those would be much harder to handle ... But the self-referrals scenario I do like...

When we are approving payouts we need to be able to click into the contact that signed up and verify they didn't churn or get refunded. It just shows the affiliates name and amount which tells us zero about what we are approving.

Why is there no way to export affiliate sales data easily from the affiliate platform (or blackhole) as it should be known as.

It would be awesome to have a field on the contact record that tells us the affiliate the contact was referred to us by, so we can easily see this on the contact record.
