Coopersmith

Finally, about the referral program mentioned on this site, it’s not credit towards a Coopersmith exam – it’s cash. You sign up as an affiliate (free); you refer someone to us; s/he puts your name in the referrer box, and you get a check (assuming the payment goes through, obviously). Why do we do this? Well, to get people to refer their friends, of course.

Hi Stephen,  thanks for your informative post!

So, I'll be signing up my son for 2 Coopersmith courses later this summer.  When I enter JSD's code #38, what's he get in return and is there a discount for the new student too?  Help me understand the process a little better, thank you.

20% of whatever was ordered (not including ProctorU). There's nothing else you need to do.

I have a few "pending" referrals (I believe this means they've signed up to take an exam, but haven't paid and actually taken the exam yet). It looks to be if anyone follows through, I get $30 (iirc) via PayPal? Works for me

Hopefully the referred gets something out if it too.

That's the kind of coupon I like the best.  Not regarding jsd, but to simply say "hey use my referral- there's nothing in it for you, but use it because I get money" is a little funky- that's not the kind of coupon I'd share in my homeschool community (it's also the kind I would delete if someone else posted) but  most businesses do something like "share this and you sign up we both get $5" or whatever.  That's a better play because everyone benefits.  I'm curious which type this is, mainly because I'm trying to decide if *I will be sharing it too.

The way we do it now, it's just to the referrer. It's really an extension of the "salesperson" model we've always used. We make the exams available to marketers at wholesale and they charge their clients. 

But your comments are appreciated and perhaps we'll re-think the model.
