Referral & Affiliate Programs

Sales & Revenueby Helm

Turn happy customers into your best channel.

Overview

The Referral and Affiliate Programs skill teaches an agent how to design and run programs that grow word of mouth: setting incentives, timing the ask, recruiting partners, and tracking what works. It starts with referrals before building out affiliates.

What's inside

The frameworks it teaches.

Referral vs affiliate

When to use each and why referrals come first.

Incentive design

Double-sided rewards tied to a qualified action, not vanity signups.

Program mechanics

Easy asks, the right timing, and a frictionless path for the referred.

Partner recruiting

Finding partners who already reach your buyer and equipping them.

Example tasks

Things you can hand it.

  • Design a double-sided referral incentive.
  • Write a referral ask timed to a customer win.
  • Plan an affiliate program with commission tiers.
  • Pick the metrics to track for a referral launch.
