I am proud to announce the opening of the 123Together Affiliate Program through Share-A-Sale. We offer our customers hosted Microsoft Exchange Servers along with CRM & Sharepoint.

Our commission structure is as follows:
For shared exchange hosting for we pay a $5.00 commission on each trial sign up and 10% commission on months 3-6.

For dedicated exchange we pay a $50 commission for each dedicated exchange server contract which is signed & paid along with 10% of any revenues generated for the first three months of usage.

Alternative Commission Structure:
For those interested, we offer an alternative commission structure at a flat 50% commission on the first 2 months of service with no commission for non-paying signups. Please note that this 50% commission is NOT available for the dedicated server sales, which will remain at the 10% level. For those interested in moving to this alternative structure, please contact us through the SAS console or email us at apm @ 123together.com.

I am interested in hearing any comments or suggestions you have on our program. Please feel free to contact me if you need any assistance, more information or additional banners/text links.

I am also here if any issues arise that you need me to look into. I am here to help you make as much as possible with our program.

Just a quick update...
We just added tracking for phone orders on our site. All of our dedicated server sales are closed by phone/email, so I am happy that we were able to implement it.

Feel free to contact me for details or to walk you through a test.

Hi,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I just finished uploading about 40 new banners for the 123Together Exchange Hosting affiliate program.

The banners are in various sizes and are split into 2 main groups: "Shared Exchange Hosting" and "Dedicated Exchange Servers".

So what is the difference between the 2 groups?

-Shared servers have a 99.9% uptime guarantee. They are easier to sell as the commitment is on a month to month basis and the prices start at $9.99 per month per mailbox.

-Dedicated servers have a 100% uptime guarantee and will generally give you a higher commission. However, as they have a year long contract they are harder to sell.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments about these banners.

thanks,
Alon

I am happy to announce that we are now offering Microsoft Exchange 2007 as a Hosted Services in addition to the existing Exchange 2003 services. While a few hosting companies wanted to get it out as fast as possible, we preferred to test it as much as possible before releasing it to our clients. We are the first provider to bring Hosted Exchange 2007 to market using the Microsoft® Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration (HMC) Version 4.0 - the only platform that Microsoft has designed, tested and validated for Exchange Server hosting.

You can read some more information about it at http://www.123together.com/es2007/hosted-exchange-2007.xhtml (or you can email/call me if you have specific questions). I’ll be adding new banners to reflect this in the SAS interface in a few days.

Quick update:
I just finished uploading about 20 banners into the Share-A-Sale system that are Microsoft Exchange 2007 specific. So feel free to grab them and add them to your pages.

Just a quick update that we now offer the 10% commission on the first 6 months (1-6) of service instead of months 3-6.

OK, August specials are here. This month we are offering credit vouchers for our dedicated server customers. Vouchers range from $250-$1,000 depending on the server. Full details have been uploaded into the SAS coupon section.

Hello Everyone,
We recently concluded our affiliate contest and have a number of winners. An expert from the press release below:

123Together.com’s just completed affiliate contest resulted in the payment of additional affiliate commissions and monetary prizes to the winners. One of the winners, Alan H. Jones, is a principal at Carr-Jones, Inc., a Boston, Massachusetts-based provider of concierge-level technology services to small businesses. Alan recognizes the importance of email as a critical component of any small business. By associating with 123Together.com he is able to refer his clients to an affordable and reliable provider of hosted enterprise-class email which requires little assistance from him and provides best-in-class service to his valued customers. “Before deciding to affiliate with any (hosted) Exchange service, I evaluated every firm I could identify,” said Alan. “I selected 123Together.com based on their responsiveness and focus, and have continued to recommend them because they have delivered. The affiliate program makes it easy to generate additional revenue, but my primary motivation for recommending 123Together.com is because it helps my customers to be successful – which makes me successful.”

In addition to offering hosted Exchange and hosted SharePoint, 123Together.com also offers its SMB customers full 2-way wireless synchronization for BlackBerry®, Treo, PocketPC, SmartPhone and Windows Mobile handheld devices. Customers may also contact 123Together.com’s U.S.-based technical support team 24 x 7 via online chat, phone or email with any questions they may have.

“I want to congratulate Alan and all our affiliates who participated in our contest,” said Ravi Agarwal, senior executive officer, 123Together.com division of mindSHIFT. “We thank them for their belief in the quality of our hosted software services, technical support and customer service and their recommendation of our services to their customers. Our focus on and dedication to hosted Exchange and hosted SharePoint services for the SMB market is validated each day with the addition of new affiliates who enthusiastically recommend our company to their customers.”
