Agent Program FAQs
General Questions Regarding the Agent Program
Q. Does it cost anything to become an agent?
A. No. Joining the OneMoreCustomer agent program is absolutely free to qualified
agents.
Q. I see you also have an affiliate program. What's the difference between an agent
program and an affiliate program?
A. The OneMoreCustomer Agent Program is designed for individuals or businesses that
sell or promote products through a mix of sales strategies. Typically, sales agents
are focused on providing products to a specific niche or vertical market. Examples
of agent sales strategies would include face-to-face selling, email marketing to
an existing customer base and online marketing. Affiliates, on the other hand, do
not engage in face-to-face selling and typically sell or promote products using
online sales strategies only.
Q. I'd like to refer a friend. Do you have a referral program?
A. We absolutely welcome referrals. However, at this time we do not have a referral
program in place but do have plans to introduce on in the near future. As soon as
it's available, we'll be notifying all of our agent members. If you would like to
discuss a significant referral opportunity, please call our offices to discuss.
Q. Who is your target customer?
A. OneMoreCustomer products were designed with smaller businesses in mind and we
would define a "typical" target customer as a business with fewer than
10 employees. However, we encourage you not to limit your sales and marketing efforts
solely to these types of businesses, since individual business professionals inside
larger organizations are often just a day away from becoming entrepreneurs.
Q. How do I let you know if my contact information changes?
A. If you'd like to change the contact information we have on file for you, start
by logging in to your agent account. (You can access the OneMoreCustomer agent member
site by
clicking here.) After entering your username and password, you'll be taken
to your profile page which displays your most current contact information. To make
a change, simply edit the information in the appropriate fields and click the "Save"
button at the bottom of the page. Your agent account profile will immediately be
updated with the new information.
Q. Do I have to have a website to be a part of the agent program?
A. The OneMoreCustomer agent program was designed to provide sales agents with the
means to promote a quality business-to-business product and earn a commission by
selling the OneMoreCustomer products either to their existing customer base or to
new prospects through a mix of selling strategies. While promoting OneMoreCustomer
products through your web site is certainly an option, it's not required that you
have a website in order to participate in the program. However, we make a variety
of online creative materials available to our agents to use on a website, so if
you don't have a site, it may be worth considering adding one.
Q. I have a large database of email addresses I've collected from both current and
former customers. Is it OK for me to promote your product via email to these lists?
A. Providing information about the OneMoreCustomer products and services via email
is a great way to "get the word out" and we provide email templates that
agents can use as the basis for an email marketing campaign. However, please note
that we do not condone or encourage our agents to engage in the distribution of
Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) otherwise known as "Spam" and ask that
agents conform to the provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act when conducting email campaigns.
If your former or current customers haven't specifically opted in to receive emails
from you, we would ask that you not promote our products via email to them. If you
have any questions about participation in the program, please contact the OneMoreCustomer
agent support center at 877.872.6869 or email us at
agentsupport@OneMoreCustomer.com.
Q. What do the provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act require me to do when conducting email
marketing campaigns?
A. The CAN-SPAM Act requires email marketers to ensure the following when executing
email marketing campaigns:
- Don't use false or misleading header information â€" Your "From", "Reply-to"
and routing information must be accurate and identify the person or business that
initiated the message.
- Don't use deceptive email subject lines â€" The subject line must accurately reflect
the content of the message.
- Identify the message as an advertisement â€" There's leeway on how you can do this
but early in the message you must identify it as being an advertisement.
- Tell recipients where you're located â€" Your message must include either your valid,
physical postal address, or the address of a post office box you've registered with
the postal service or private mailbox company.
- Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving messages from you â€" The message must
have a clear and conspicuous way for recipients to opt-out of receiving emails from
you in the future.
- Honor opt-out requests promptly â€" Opt-out requests must be honored with 10 business
days of your receipt of the request and the process you use to handle opt-outs must
be capable of processing a request for up to 30 days after you send the message.
Q. I sell a number of different products. What types of products would be a good
complement to the OneMoreCustomer products?
A. OneMoreCustomer products are designed to help small businesses manage and grow
their business by providing them with a suite of affordable & easy-to-use software
tools. If you're currently selling to small businesses or start-ups, it's likely
that our products are an excellent complement to what you're already selling. Some
examples of great complementary products and services include:
- Credit card/transaction processing
- Payroll services
- PEO services
- Office supplies and equipment
- Computer peripherals and computer supplies
- Telephony equipment
- VoIP services
- Marketing materials & collateral such as letterhead and business cards
- Printing services
- Mailing list services
- And many others!
This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you have any questions about how to position
our products with your existing products & service, please contact the OneMoreCustomer
agent support center at 877.872.6869 or email us at
agentsupport@OneMoreCustomer.com.
Q. I'm not located in the U.S. â€" Can I still become an agent?
A. If you're not located in the U.S. you can still be a member of the OneMoreCustomer
affiliate program. However, please note that a number of our products have been
designed specifically for the North American market and may not be a fit for businesses
located overseas. Also, be aware that all commissions are calculated and paid in
U.S. Dollars so if you are located overseas, please ensure you're able to accept
and deposit a commission check paid in U.S. Dollars.
Q. If I'm a OneMoreCustomer agent, can I carry competitive products?
A. Yes. We understand that many agents promote "niche" products or products
designed for specific verticals or business types. As such, we're fine if you choose
to carry out products alongside competitive products.
Q. Do you offer free trials of your products so I can check them out before I advertise
them?
A. Yes. Many of our products offer a trial membership that you can take advantage
of before applying for membership in the agent program. However, we have implemented
an extensive training program for new agents and provide comprehensive product materials.
Rather than sign up for a trial, we would encourage you to attend the online training
sessions where you'll learn about the entire suite of products. OneMoreCustomer
schedules and hosts monthly product & sales training webinars. As an affiliate
you are encouraged to participate. All webinars are recorded and posted on the OneMoreCustomer
agent site. Also, we have product specialists who are available to answer product-related
questions and provide you with a product overview. If you're interested in scheduling
a product tour, please contact the OneMoreCustomer agent support center at 877.872.6869
or email us at agentsupport@OneMoreCustomer.com.

that have already been paid to me?

a monthly subscription payment and subsequently decides to cancel their subscription
and requests a refund of that payment. If a commission has already been paid to
you for a subscription payment that was subsequently refunded, an amount equal to
that commission payment will be deducted from the next commission payment due to
you.
Q. Do I get credit if someone subscribes to one of your products and decides to buy
subscriptions to additional products when they're on you site?

directed them to via your affiliate tracking id located in your unique URL, text
link or provided banner.
