Tracking Bulk Account Creation

Quick Answer

Enterprise bulk account creation requires special tracking coordination. Email [email protected] BEFORE referring any enterprise client to ensure all accounts created through templates or bulk processes are properly attributed to you for the full 30% commission.

Overview

When enterprises create multiple accounts through Heritage Web's bulk listing service, standard cookie tracking doesn't work since accounts are created by Heritage Web staff using templates. Pre-coordination ensures you receive credit for every account and all associated revenue within the 12-month window.

The Bulk Creation Process

How Enterprises Create Multiple Accounts

Standard Individual Process:

  1. Each professional clicks your affiliate link

  2. Creates their own account

  3. Cookie tracking captures attribution

  4. You earn commission automatically

Enterprise Bulk Process:

  1. Organization provides Excel template with all professionals

  2. Heritage Web staff creates accounts in bulk

  3. NO cookie tracking possible

  4. Manual attribution required

  5. You earn commission ONLY with pre-coordination

Why Pre-Contact is Critical

Without pre-contact:

  • No automatic attribution for template-created accounts

  • Lost commission on potentially hundreds of accounts

  • No way to claim attribution after creation

  • Missed opportunity worth thousands in commission

With pre-contact:

  • All bulk accounts attributed to you

  • Full commission on every professional

  • Tracking confirmed before creation

  • Protected commission for 12 months

Step-by-Step Tracking Process

Step 1: Initial Enterprise Contact

  1. Identify enterprise opportunity

  2. Have preliminary discussion with client

  3. Confirm their interest in Heritage Web

  4. Note approximate number of accounts needed

Step 2: Email Affiliate Team (REQUIRED)

Send email to [email protected] with:

  • Enterprise organization name

  • Contact person and role

  • Estimated number of professionals

  • Expected timeline for setup

  • Your affiliate ID or email

Email Template:

Subject: Enterprise Referral - [Company Name] - Pre-Attribution Request Hi Affiliate Team, I'm about to refer [Company Name] with approximately [X] professionals who need Heritage Web listings. Organization: [Full Legal Name] Contact: [Name and Title] Estimated Accounts: [Number] Timeline: [Expected setup date] My Affiliate ID: [Your ID] Please confirm attribution tracking before I make the introduction. Thank you, [Your Name]

Step 3: Wait for Confirmation

  • Affiliate team responds within 1-2 business days

  • Receive confirmation of tracking setup

  • Get any special instructions

  • Proceed with introduction only after confirmation

Step 4: Make the Introduction

  • Connect enterprise with Heritage Web sales team

  • CC [email protected] on introduction

  • Reference your pre-attribution confirmation

  • Let Heritage Web handle the sales process

Step 5: Monitor Account Creation

  • Heritage Web creates accounts via template

  • All accounts show in your Affiliate Portal

  • Commission calculates as accounts are created

  • Track bulk creation progress in your dashboard

Tracking Multiple Phases

Staggered Account Creation

Enterprises often create accounts in phases:

Phase 1 (Month 1): 10 senior attorneys

  • Setup fee: $1,000

  • Sponsors: $2,400

  • Your commission: $1,020

Phase 2 (Month 3): 15 additional attorneys

  • Additional sponsors: $3,600

  • Your commission: $1,080

Phase 3 (Month 6): 25 support staff profiles

  • Additional sponsors: $6,000

  • Your commission: $1,800

Important: All phases count if within 12-month window from initial account creation.

Department-by-Department Rollout

Large organizations may implement by department:

  • Marketing creates listings first

  • Sales team follows

  • Operations adds later

  • Each department's accounts attributed to you

  • Commission on all spending within 12 months

Verification & Reporting

Confirming Attribution

  1. Check Affiliate Portal after bulk creation

  2. Look for new referrals matching enterprise name

  3. Verify account count matches expectation

  4. Contact [email protected] if discrepancies

Tracking Commission by Enterprise

  • Use unique UTM parameters for each enterprise

  • Create custom campaign names

  • Monitor collective spending patterns

  • Export data for your own analysis

Important Notes

30-Day Retroactive Window: If you forgot to pre-contact, you have 30 days from account creation to claim attribution with client confirmation, but pre-contact is always preferred.

Template Creation Only: This process applies only to bulk template creation. If professionals create their own accounts individually, standard cookie tracking works fine.

All Revenue Counts: Once attributed, you earn 30% on everything: bulk fees, sponsors, lead purchases, pro bono subscriptions, and custom solutions.

FAQs

Q: What if the enterprise creates more accounts than originally estimated? A: All accounts created as part of the enterprise relationship are attributed to you, regardless of the final number, as long as you pre-coordinated.

Q: Can I track different departments separately? A: Yes, request separate campaign tracking for each department when you email [email protected]. This helps you analyze performance by division.

Q: What if some employees create accounts individually? A: Send them your standard affiliate link. The combination of manual attribution (bulk) and cookie tracking (individual) ensures complete coverage.

Q: How long does manual attribution take? A: Usually 3-5 business days after accounts are created. Commission appears in your dashboard once attribution is complete.

Next Steps

  • Review your enterprise prospects

  • Draft your pre-attribution email

  • Set up campaign tracking for each enterprise
