Now a Refresher on the Benchmark Email Partner Program

Partners, you receive recurring monthly income when a referral signs up for a paid plan. There is no payment threshold or monthly target, just 25% of every payment the referred customer makes. For a single purchaser of one of our larger plans, you can make up to $125 in monthly residual income on an open-ended basis. And multiple referrals add up quickly. Some of our Benchmark Email partners earn over $5,000 per month.

3 New Software Upgrades

We promised our users that they would always have a voice at Benchmark Email. At our Features Request Forum, we make good on that promise. The latest features that have been added at no extra charge to our users broadens the usability and scope of our email editor. First up, users can Add a Personalized Greeting to their test emails to leave their recipients messages or notes/comments with their templates. And when a user is searching for an address amongst their bulky contact lists, they can now Search Contacts Across Lists, no matter how many targeted segments they have. Last but certainly not least is our Email Capacity Notification. We're especially proud of this feature as it allows users to see when they have expended 95% of their allowable emails for the month. With this new notification, users can easily avoid overages and renew their plan. They can even upgrade to a new plan without contacting support.

Expert Advice

The internet is big and far from faceless; in fact, it has several hundred thousand faces, all looking for a way to give your potential customer a wink and a dubious offer and send them indignantly on their way. Customers don't like to be marginalized. Treat every prospect as a friend or neighbor and give them something positive to associate your brand with. Adopt the old policies of placing the customer's needs before your own. It may hurt, and sometimes seem downright impossible, but in the long run you will earn your client or prospect's trust. That, in turn, will lead to word-of-mouth that no money can buy. Even when there is no sale, at the very least you will stand out from the horde of internet profiteers - and online forums or social networks will attest to your customer support.

How do you treat your customers and potential clients? No matter how vast the internet may be, a frustrated customer seldom remains anonymous for long. Treat small issues quickly and fairly before letting them develop into PR disasters.
