Have you given a webinar to your clients about QIMA?
This is a great way to engage your client base. You can ask your QIMA affiliate Manager to be a guest in a webinar you give to you clients and educate them about a topic like inspections, audits, testing, etc. It is always great to engage with your client base and bring them some value. Your Affiliate Manager should be able to either speak on the topic themselves or bring in other QIMA subject matter experts to help deliver the information to your clients. And be sure to provide clickable links in the webinar and follow up emails that include your affiliate ID so that QIMA can track any leads you provide and you get the referral credit.
Best ways to use referral URL
You have a unique referral URL from QIMA. Always using that ensures that anyone who goes to the QIMA site from seeing your content, then you get that credit. Yes, you can post that on your website, but where else can you use it? I use it in email campaigns, on my LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook posts, and in my email signature. I would love to hear other ideas from everyone else.
