Value Bombs:

“The word affiliate (marketing) scares people but… you are just paying a referral fee.” -Tim

“The key is your message. You have to not only have a message that's going to attract a customer, but you also have to be able to attract the affiliate. And those two messages are different.”-Tim

“If you have a referral program where people get paid to send business to you, they will send it.” -Jeff

“Money doesn't always motivate, so it's not always about how much you're paying your affiliates. It's about how well you know them, and how well you connect with them and build that trust.” -Tim
