"Kiflo eliminated common logistical challenges and its seamless integration was a game-changer."
AfterSell is a pioneering provider of post-purchase optimization solutions adjusted for e-commerce platforms, with a particular emphasis on Shopify stores. Their mission revolves around enhancing the overall shopping experience by integrating advanced upselling options immediately after the initial purchase, driving increased sales, and boosting customer lifetime value.
The core of AfterSell's approach is to make upselling a natural, seamless part of the customer journey, ensuring a smooth transition from purchase to additional sales opportunities.
Upon joining AfterSell as Partnerships Manager, Alicia Gan was confronted with a significant challenge: no formal, structured partner program was in place. The company had a few informal relationships with two to three agency partners, but these lacked a systematic approach that could be scaled effectively.
Alicia's task was to create a scalable, structured partner program that could not only accommodate a more extensive and more diverse group of partners but also retain the value and effectiveness of the existing relationships. Additionally, the challenge was to ensure that the benefits and incentives offered to early partners could be extended in a sustainable manner as the program grew.
Alicia's strategy for overcoming these challenges centered on two main areas:
- Structured Partner Program Development: Recognizing the need for a solid foundation, Alicia developed a structured partner program from the ground up. This involved defining clear benefits, incentives, and processes that could be easily understood and accessed by a wide range of partners. The goal was to create a program that was not only scalable but also flexible enough to adapt to the needs of different types of partners, from small agencies to larger firms.
- Balancing Scaling with Unique Value: As the program expanded, Alicia focused on maintaining the unique value propositions that initially attracted partners. This meant carefully considering how to scale the program without diluting the personalized support and exclusive benefits that made it appealing. By doing so, Alicia ensured that the partner program continued to offer meaningful, compelling incentives that encouraged long-term engagement and loyalty.
"Kiflo has been instrumental in streamlining interactions and simplifying processes, making it a valuable asset in managing our referral partnerships efficiently."
