She says, “Nancy Harnett, Head of Affiliate Marketing at HubSpot, says an excellent affiliate partner is someone who is committed to mutual growth, has a proven track record of driving high-quality leads or sales, and prioritizes transparent communication.

“At HubSpot, we value someone who aligns closely with our brand values, understands our target audience, and brings valuable expertise and resources to the table,” Harnett says.

She says, “Remember, a great affiliate partner is not just a promoter but a trusted extension of a brand’s marketing team.’

“At HubSpot, we like to establish clear expectations and mutually agreed-upon goals from the start, provide affiliate partners with the necessary tools, resources, and support to succeed, and maintain open communication lines,” she says.

She says, “We also share regular updates, insights, metrics, and data. This has been a big win for us and our program.”
