Questions to Ask You Affiliate Manager #12: What Countries Cannot Buy Your Products?

Yesterday I wrote about asking your affiliate manager for the sales numbers by country of their products/courses.

Today I encourage you to ask your affiliate manager if there are any countries to which they do not ship or if their products are unusable in any countries.

For instance, here at Legacy there are not any countries to which we do not ship. That’s right! We ship to every single country.

In fact, to date, we have shipped to 94 countries (our 94th came less than six weeks ago when we shipped a course to Bahrain).

So ask about where they can ship to so you are not selling courses to ineligible customers.

Also, make sure to ask if their products are illegal in any countries or regions or perhaps unusable, such as regionally encoded DVDs.

At Legacy, for example, our DVDs are not region encoded, which means they can be played on any computer that can play DVDs and on any DVD player anywhere in the world (Almost all DVD players can use either PAL or NTSC format. Our DVDs are NTSC).

So there you have the answers to those two questions for Legacy Learning Systems. For your other programs, make sure to ask your affiliate manager what countries cannot buy their products.
