Partner Recommendations for Starter Edition

With impact.com's Prospect recommendations feature, we scout for the partners who fit your business needs best and send you a list of recommendations to work with.

This feature offers:

  • Up to ten new, brand-safe partner recommendations every week.

  • Access to customer relationship management (CRM) features, including visibility into the partner recruitment funnel, sorting partners (by partner size, business model, and more), and quick access to partner contact information and audience stats.

  • New partner applications can be processed inside of the Prospects feature.

  • Recommendations improve progressively as impact.com learns more about your program based on performance.

View your recommendations

  1. In the left navigation bar, select [Engage] [Engage] → Partners → Prospects.

  2. From the Source filter, select [Checked box] [Checkbox] Impact AI to see partner recommendations.

    • Optionally, use other primary and additional filters to fine-tune your search—see the filter references below.

  3. To manage your recommendations, select the relevant recommendation and select [Menu] [More] to either Message the prospect, Email, Send proposal, or Archive the recommendation.

    • If you archive or change the status of a current recommendation, impact.com will replace it with a new one. impact.com will populate your listings weekly with up to 10 new recommendations.
