Apparently this model was discussed at last years Pub conference in London - I wasn't there, but from what I heard from the feedback of the conference its a popular model for SEO guys who have the skills to get top lisitngs and generate qualified traffic.
Its a model thats work for us in some cases but fallen woefully short in others...
The problem is, of course, one doesn't have ownership of following up on enquiries.
Are there guys who work in this way?
How do you manage your partners, making sure they follow up efficiently and promptly?
Is there a "guideline" we can use to educate parters as to how they should respond to enquiries that come off the web sites?
If you have control over the leads that are generated Take time out and do a customer survey.

Try to stay away from phone based tracking as well - in my experience someone doing phone sales will just put "yahoo" on every enquiry just because they can't be bothered to scroll through the options. Even if you have your own unique phone number - this will still happen. Stick to electronic tracking from start to finish and go with a supplier who is recommended by someone already in the business.
