I have many sales reps

I use clientexce

When they signup it says Reffer:
They put the sales reps name

If they leave it blank

I just simply ask

$20 is very low considering how much it costs to buy or aquire clients via ads.

Agreed. As a point of referent, Hostgator uses a tiered structure starting out at $50/referral.

yes it is very low but when signing up it takes 1 - 2 months to see if they are still with the host then the affiliate is happily appraised with his 50. A twenty may be instantly when he signs up

It's all relative. You can't just say $20 is very low without knowing the hosting services that are involved and the company in question. Just because one company has a higher payout does not mean all others should follow.

Keep in mind, also, that cost per client is different with every company. Some companies have a low cost per client because of their approach to marketing. Some companies have a higher cost per client for the same reasons. Those reasons can often depend on the company's ability to retain clients once they have signed up, long term goals of the company, and limitless reasons.

idev + modernbill works like a charm

$20 is low? How long are you planning the customer will stay with you to receive that affliate amount back. I'm surprised the big companies can give $50 and the likes back. But then again, I don't know that much on marketting.

I agree with "idev + modernbill works like a charm"

Try it out :)

Your current clients are the perfect people to try and get signed up to the affiliate program.

Yes but more things work like a charm with MB too like lets say you use WHMCS its so easy to use there transfer thingy and swap back or forwth, also the way the domain register with enom is setup is very nice also.

I am an affiliate of company which sells $4.95/mo. plans and pays me $130 per sale. It looks like it is more then they earn so how is it possible? Easy - some % of customers order from another computer or clear cookies. I have read a study which says that up to 50% of affiliate sales is lost due tracking issues.
