Welcome to the New 3Echo Portal
At 3Echo Leadership we help leaders make better decisions so they can get real results instead of just spinning their wheels with their teams. We believe that one way to be a smart coach is not ignoring easy opportunities to get paid for your efforts.
So let’s talk about affiliate links.
Sometimes when we recommend a product, we’ll link to the company’s website using what’s known as an affiliate or referral link. Basically, if you end up buying a product that you found via our link, we get a commission from the vendor as a small “thank you.”
Sometimes that commission is just a few dollars; sometimes it’s a little more. Sometimes it’s a one-time commission; sometimes it’s a rolling commission — so if you sign up for a monthly subscription service we might get a slice of that monthly fee.
But here’s the important thing — that referral doesn’t cost you a penny. The entire commission comes out of the vendor’s pocket not yours.
We’ll never recommend a product simply because it pays us a commission! We’ll only recommend products that we’ve personally used or that come highly recommended by trusted peers. (After all, if we only recommended products we’re using ourselves right now, we’d be doing you a disservice, because there are tools that are used for many different leaders and situations.)
So that you can easily tell when we’re using an affiliate link, we’ll post a notice on the top of the page where the links exist.
It’s possible that we didn’t mark some links in older posts as clearly as this, so the safest thing to assume is that any time we link to a third-party product, we might get a small commission.
All good? Great!
