Track ‘n Trade LIVE
Commission rates from 10% to 50%
Here's how the Gecko Software Commission Scale works for orders you generate during each month. Please
review the details below to help you completely understand how the final commission totals are calculated.
Three (3) Step Affiliate/Client Action List:
1.
Affiliate (you) place a banner or text link on your website, or advertise Track ‘n Trade in
some other fashion, such as email, PPC, or PPV ads, using your private coded link.
2.
Visitor clicks your coded link, and is given a 60 day cookie by our system. (Cookie
identifies that individual as your referred client for a period of 60-Days; anything they
purchase from Gecko Software during that time period, is credited to you! If they click
the link or banner again, within the 60-day period, the cookie is updated to start the
60-day count down all over again.)
3.
When a visitor is referred from your website, or coded link, and purchases a Gecko
Software product, within 60 days of clicking on your banner or link, you'll receive a
commission of 20%. (It’s that simple.)
Lead Generation Program
As a registered Gecko Software affiliate, you are automatically enrolled into our “Lead Generation Program.”
The life-blood of any business is the ability to generate quality leads, or clients. Without a solid method of
collecting names, leads, or clients, any business will fail.
Gecko Software has designed our affiliate program to be more than just a way to make commissions, we’ve
designed it to be a life-blood supply of qualified clients or leads for your business.
Here’s how it works:
Many companies spend thousands, and thousands of dollars to advertise their websites, but when their
prospects visit their website, they are always leery of being “sold” something; people don’t like being sold, but
they do like buying stuff they want.
Many visitors to a website will resist any attempt you make to collect their contact information; a bounce rate
(number of people who hit your site and leave without looking beyond the first page.) of 80 to 90% is not
uncommon for many websites; this is what causes advertising to be so very expensive.
This is where Track ‘n Trade comes into play. Again, people will resist giving you their contact information at
almost any cost, but if you highly recommend, and also offer a “free trial” of our software, Track ‘n Trade,
without requiring them to provide you with any contact information to take the free trial, you’ll be surprised
how many of your website visitors will take you up on that offer.
You see, it’s a psychological phenomenon, people want to take your advice, but they want to also remain
anonymous, and if they can get some “free” advice from you, or take your recommendation, then they
feel like they’ve gained an advantage without having to sacrifice their anonymity.
Once a clients clicks on your “more-info recommendation” to try Track ‘n Trade, we drop a cookie on their
system, and track them for the next 60-days. Then, when they register the software, we require that they
provide their contact information, which almost nobody ever thinks twice about providing a software company
their registration, or contact information, that’s pretty much par for the course; the minute we receive their
software registration/contact info, our system automatically emails it back to you.
This has proven to be the most effective method of building a huge, and very responsive list of clients that are
truly actively seeking solutions within our industry.
If you set this program up, I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the amazing client list you’ll build.
Sales Rep Intervention Program:
It has been proven time and time again, that affiliates who personally assist their clients in making their
software purchases earn way more commissions, up to nine times more commissions, than affiliates who do
not assist their clients in making the purchase.
But, due to the fact that many affiliates are untrained or unable to assist their clients in making their trading
software decisions, Gecko Software has hired and trained inside sales reps to assist our affiliates in closing
more sales.
If you, as our affiliate, allow our Gecko Software inside sales representatives to assist your clients through the
sales process, it has been proven that you will increase the number of sales closed, as well as significantly
increase the dollar amounts of each sale.
Statistics show that a client who is assisted by an inside sales rep is nine times more likely to make a purchase,
and the size of the purchase is nearly triple the dollar amount; but we must also pay these sales reps to help
us increase our joint efforts and income, so if you allow it, our reps will help your clients make their purchases
for a split of your affiliate commission.
Each new affiliate is automatically added into the “sales rep assist” program, but if you wish to opt out of the
inside sales rep assist program, please contact Gecko Software directly, and we will remove you from that
program.
Obviously, the more effort you, as the affiliate, can put into facilitating the sale, the more you'll be rewarded;
but inside sales reps are available to take over, for a small fee, if you prefer.
Earn higher commissions as a "Value Added Reseller" (VAR).
To apply for VAR status, please contact us at: 1-800-862-7193 Ext 104.
VAR Non-Inventory Program #1:
As a Non-Inventory VAR, you pay a discounted rate for bulk purchases of Track ‘n Trade.
30% = You purchase between 5-19 of each item.
40% = You purchase between 20-49 of each item.
50% = You purchase 50+ of each item.
Example of a non-inventory VAR would be a large financial educator or institution that wants to create several
premium bundles including education, seminars, and software tools. This type of educator, or institution may
plan on holding a one time large event to sell these products and services; this is generally done either at a live
seminar, or a live webinar.
Because the presenter has no idea how many bundles he’s going to sell, there is no point in purchasing
“inventory.”
In this case, Gecko Software works directly with the presenter to build custom bundles to sell to their clients;
at no cost to the presenter until the packages have been sold. This is what is known as “just in time
marketing,” the presenter sells the product to the clients, and then purchases the product after the sale has
been made, therefore no inventory over-runs are experienced, and no inventory investments are ever incurred.
VAR Inventory Program #2:
As an Inventory VAR, you pay a discounted rate for your inventory; then, when you sell the product, you
charge the full value to your customer, or client. It is recommended that you sell the software for the
manufacturers suggested retail price, but with the VAR program, our primary intentions are that you "bundle"
the software with one of your own products or services, thus the term "Value Added Reseller," where the actual
“price” of Track ‘n Trade is no longer the primary factor.
When you pre-purchase, inventory and ship any Gecko Software products for resale through your own website
or store, the following wholesale discounts are available. These discounts are taken off the suggested retail
price.
30% = You purchase and stock a minimum of 5-19 of each item.
40% = You purchase and stock a minimum of 20-49 of each item.
50% = You purchase and stock 50+ of each item.
Who has done this in the past?
