If for example someone could pull out a deal with some specific diving shops at some location.
How can you set up a program that will make sure you are being paid for all the leads?
Would that kind of deal only be working if the person buys directly from the internet, and not fom the phone for example?
Would the diving shop had to change his site to follow up on the leads you are generating them?
Thanks
It depends on how you define a "lead." If you are just linking to the dive shop's site, it's pretty easy to setup tracking to see how many time people click on the link.
If you are openly displaying the dive shop's contact info (phone, address, etc.), there's pretty much no way to track.
For sales, if the site is doing e-commerce, they probably have to modify their site to add tracking. Unless they're already doing tracking for other sites, then they just give you a tracking code.
If they're mostly offline sales, not a whole lot you can do for tracking. Even if the shop is completely trustworthy, if a salesman forgets to ask how the customer found out about it (or more likely the customer will respond, "I don't remember- some web site I think."), you're out any commission.
Alternatively, if they are mostly offline sales, you can build them an e-commerce site hosted by you- then you can directly track all online sales.
