6 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION With the commoditisation of products in the financial services industry evidencing itself on a daily basis, financial institutions such as investment banking firms, insurance companies and commercial banks are making strategic decisions on how to differentiate themselves in an ever-competitive market and as such, many are focusing on bold enhancements and extensions to their entire sales operations as a primary differentiator. Sales strategies that include rewards for results and the use of technology serve as an underlying principle, which can greatly reduce the cost companies spend on acquiring new customers and can also extend the reach of their products and services. Commission Exchange is a commission-only sales agency that specialises in using integrated technology to acquire new customers, generate sales opportunities and actual sales for companies; and charges a standing commission on all sales generated. Commission Exchange employs a series of online and offline technology based strategies to primarily generate sales prospects which are verified and qualified as ready to buy before they are routed to your sales department, allowing your representatives to efficiently focus their time on provisioning, ultimately leading to higher close rates and improved revenue growth for your firm. Commission Exchange has two pronged core focus areas: The first is corporate facing and the second is consumer facing. The corporate facing prong increases sales for companies by charging a commission on sale we assist in generating, whilst the consumer prong offers loyalty, incentive and rebate schemes funded with the commissions we receive. Commission Exchange We provide commission based selling services armed with leading technologies to extend your sales process. Because we trust our strategy so much, we bear the risk of any base resources and technology cost associated with acquiring new customers for you. All we ask for is a standing commission on the lifetime sales you generate from the customer that we acquire for you.

: How we use technology to generate leads and sale prospects Our lead generation strategy involves the use of a series of sophisticated and technology assisted activities, which we carry out on our proprietary data through our own service offering. These strategies put us in a good position to interact with a wide array of consumers across the globe, which we then filter and pre-qualify before embarking on any product or service specific marketing pitch. 1. Access to Local Consumer Lists and Global Intelligent Databases We have partnered with international and local marketing firms to gain access to consumer lists (Business to Consumer and Business to Business) that contain over 4million direct and electronic mailing addresses. These addresses are opt-in which means that all recipients are in agreement of receiving marketing campaign information. Commission Exchange through Darrell Hill Consulting has access to The Global Database of Nigerians in Diaspora (GDND) created by NIDO; A database of self certified sophisticated investors interested in Nigeria through Afrifunding; and an exhaustive list of individuals who have expressed interest in consuming financial services in Nigeria through researchist.info 2. Incentive Marketing This is the core of our business and is based on the principle of cash-back marketing whereby we use the commission you pay us to fund an array of loyalty and benefits schemes that is only available to our member customers who transact with you. We have created a platform where all our customers can submit their transactions with our partners and request for their incentives to be awarded. Incentive based marketing helps us maintain loyalty with our customers and also acts as a control activity to ensure that we earn all commissions due to us from our participating partner companies. Commission Exchange We market our brand and business. Customers will find you through our business. As a control, Commission Exchange maintains constant correspondence with prospective customers through incentive marketing. We offer various forms of incentives to consumers who buy products and services from our participating member organisations. We fund these incentives from the commissions we receive.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
; 3. Online Employee Benefits Schemes Commission Exchange has partnered with Daluzzi who runs an employee benefits scheme that works with the best retailers in Nigeria under the Daluzzi Corporate Discounts brand, to provide market-leading offers backed up by great service to staff of participating corporate companies, and their families giving them immediate access to a wide portfolio of supplier discounts and offers. Our partnership with Commission Exchange will leverage on our incentive marketing strategy that will guarantee a corporate audience to your services and products. Staff of some of the biggest companies in Nigeria will get to know about your products and this, we believe will greatly increase sales and revenue for your firm. 4. Email Marketing & Campaign Management We own a powerful opt-in email marketing platform that helps us more easily leverage data and quickly automate and optimize email campaign management. This relies on data obtained from our B2C consumer lists filtered according to specific requirements and criteria. The result: we have deeper customer engagement, greater marketing efficiency and increased Return On Investments. Our email marketing features include: Powerful data segmentation, On-demand reporting and analytics and best-in-class deliverability reaching a wide array of potential customers and buyers of your products and services. 5. Interconnected Search Marketing We invest a huge amount of financial and human resources on ensuring that our partner information website is always visible from any search engine and we are part of an inter-connection of websites that share ping links and reference materials, which encourage visitors to stay within the ringed network thereby increasing member chances of a sale. This strategy also ensures that our website ranking stays high and within a competitive return from internet search engines thereby increasing our visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs). We also make use other search engine marketing strategies such as the use of search engine optimization, paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
<= 6. Mobile Marketing via Text Messaging Text messaging is growing at an enormous rate in Nigeria. One of the primary reasons behind this growth is that text messaging has become increasingly used as a business tool because it enables information to be sent to groups of people quickly and conveniently. The personal nature of mobile phones makes SMS marketing a very powerful tool. Most people take their mobile phones everywhere and people tend to read virtually every text they get. With access to over half a million permission based mobile numbers for the working class segment, we are able to create signature SMS advertisement through our consumer business relationship with Mobile Interactive and other VAS content providers. 7. Inbound Marketing supported with Live Chat We have developed Internet systems such that visitors come to us and we attend to them via Live Chat. Inbound marketing is more effective than traditional outbound marketing methods because we arent interrupting people to get their attention. With inbound marketing through the Web, we have created a useful, informative website that will let visitors find and come to us. We are currently developing a financial services product comparison website which will be the core of our inbound marketing strategy. The product comparison system will be a one-stop shop of information for members of the public who wish to use such services. Using our live chat strategy, we will ensure communication with all visitors to the comparison website where we can up-sell and cross sell the products and services of our clients.. 8. Referral Marketing Referral marketing is a method of promoting products or services to new customers through referrals, usually word of mouth. Such referrals often happen spontaneously but we influence this through appropriate strategies. We do this by encouraging, informing, promoting and rewarding our member customers and contacts to think and talk as much as possible about our services as well as those of our partners and the value and benefit our partners bring to them and people they know. This is linked with our incentive marketing strategy that rewards members with benefits for every referral that they bring to your service.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
<< 9. Proximity Marketing Proximity marketing is the localized wireless distribution of advertising content associated with a particular place. Transmissions can be received by individuals in that location who wish to receive them and have the necessary equipment to do so. We create strategic campaigns on a periodic basis informing targeted markets about our consumer service offering through wireless enabled devices such as Bluetooth or wifi. Our proximity marketing strategy is viral in nature, depositing our message in the consumers device and accessible long after the incident, which encourages spreading. 10. Multichannel Marketing In today's cluttered world, communicating with customers and prospects requires that you interact with them through various channels. Our technology platform ensures that all customer touch points are integrated to convey a consistent and personalized experience. This way, we can ensure the visibility of our partner member companies. The goal: Connect with customers in a meaningful way By using ten proven sales leads generation methods gleaned from helping companies reach their prospects, we are confident of providing more sales or sales-ready opportunities for your sales team to turn into new business, meaning greater sales revenue and profits for your company.

<5 Commi ssi on Exchange: A si mpl e, yet ef f ect i ve way of i ncr easi ng r evenue. Commission Exchange is a sales and lead generation services company whose sole focus is delivering your firm sales or high-quality, actionable sales opportunities. At Commission Exchange, our mission is clear, and our strategy is simple. Understand your product and market, determine your ideal prospect, develop a custom online sales lead generation plan using a powerful mix of channels Our extensive experience in B2C and B2B sales and lead generation has allowed us to develop the process, technologies and talent to deliver your company fast, qualified sales and leads that result in superior ROI. Our sales and lead generation optimizes indirect marketing campaigns (advertising, online public relations, email, SMS, Web site, etc.) and engages direct-touch activities as needed. This "push-pull" dynamic creates powerful synergies and results. Our technology systems are able to identify and tier consumers then develop strategic plans for introducing partner products and services. Through this process, we are able to effectively identify and generate opportunities, nurture the lead, gain a commitment and then distribute it to you accordingly. Working with Commission Exchange is a three-way win situation; the buyer, your firm and us. The buyer is able to consider and request information from several businesses within our partner membership that offer the product or service that they are looking for; you are then given the opportunity, where we cannot complete the sale to pitch your product or service with a higher conversion rate than cold contacts because the prospect is prequalified; and we receive a commission from the sale you make.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
<6 Our Approach We use intelligent systems to acquire leads and manage all our potential customer interactions. No interaction goes without recording; we use world-class techniques to manage the entire lead value chain, which includes: a. Online Lead Acquisition Today, consumers are much more sophisticated as such we have sophisticated lead-generation campaigns that are targeted and personal, and have proved successful in the process of moving prospects from along the sales pipeline. We employ a series of lead acquisition strategies such as associations with other lead generating experts, buying filtered leads and taking redirection requests. b. Lead & Contact Scoring The multidimensional data from our database has been scored to provide visibility into each lead's quality and where it stands in the purchase process with respect to their history with us. We have defined a scoring criterion thats not only highly accurate but also useful for automatically triggering lead-nurturing communications. The result: We know with certainty whether a lead is truly "sales ready" or, if not, how to begin the lead-nurturing process. We only approach or sell to sales ready leads. c. Lead Nurturing We have access to thousands of leads; but we understand that not all prospects are immediately ready to buy, making lead-nurturing campaigns imperative for transforming prospects into sales-ready opportunities. We create sophisticated lead- nurturing campaigns, we provide nonqualified leads with value-packed information and incentives to keep us on top of their minds for when they're ready to make a buying decision. Commission Exchange Commission Exchange does not handle cash collection functions this means that all cash or monetary transactions with prospective customers will be your responsibility. Your business needs the opportunity to present your products or services in order to win customers, increase revenue and grow
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
<7 Our lead management approach results in increased sales Without a formal lead management process, teams may spend valuable time looking for leads rather than interacting with customers face-to-face. Commission Exchanges lead management strategy provides a cost-effective way to offload lead generation so your sales teams can close opportunities where we cannot. By qualifying, incubating and appropriately distributing leads and sales, Commission Exchange can deliver a robust sales pipeline that is rich with prospects ready to purchase. Once the sales cycle is complete, we follow up with customers to identify satisfaction and potential sales inhibitors for further growth and planning. More importantly, we use this follow to track the commissions we will receive from you.
Our lead management approach is an eight-step process that tracks and manages the leads we generate from generation to close, giving you a pipeline full of qualified prospects.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
<8 1. Generate: Balancing volume with value, we acquire customers, make sales or generate sales leads according to your specific requirements. 2. Collect: We aggregate lead information from multiple sources as described above, then scrub and store them in a secure, web- enabled database, providing instant access to all leads. 3. Qualify: Because leads are not created equal, Commission Exchange qualifies all prospect's budget and purchasing intentions via initial interactions to create a productive sales tunnel for you 4. Nurture: Leads with long-term purchasing intentions are "nurtured" through timely contact and follow-up, ensuring that your solution is available at the right time. 5. Distribute: Leads with immediate purchasing intentions are converted to customers or distributed to your sales force or channel partners for immediate contact where we are not able to close the sale. 6. Track: Leads are tracked from the moment they are generated, ensuring that important opportunities do not fall through the cracks. 7. Sell: We augment your existing sales force, providing professional sales representatives who can sell and close solutions to leads who have full trust in us. 8. Follow up: We assess customer satisfaction levels and ask for referrals to keep customers while developing new leads.

4< Define Commission Structure A commission is a percentage of a sale price paid to us as payment for making or assisting a sale of your products and services. Our commission structure varies according to product and service types and it is only realised when a sale has been made. The main activities in this stage are to discuss and agree commission structure and the products and services to be included in the scheme, and to agree commission billing cycle. In most cases, our commission structure takes one or a combination of the following ways: Initial sale: Applies to all initial sales transactions performed by the customers we acquired on your behalf. This commission is applicable as a one-off once the customer parts with cash and purchases any of the products or services defined within the agreement. On-going balance: Applicable to products that require customers to open and maintain an account balance such as stock or savings or current banks accounts and would normally run alongside the initial sale commission. This commission is continuously applicable and the agreed percentage of the balance becomes payable on a monthly basis. Recurring sales: Applicable to products or services that are offered on a subscription basis such as insurance premiums. Additional sales: This commission type applies where a customer we acquired on your behalf buys additional products and services. It will normally be treated as one of the above types mentioned above. The incentives we provide to our member customers through loyalty and benefits schemes has been implemented in a way such that our customers inform us of every transaction they perform with our partners. The information we receive from our member customers will be reconciled against any commissions we receive to ensure accuracy. This communication loop creates a three way win situation for all participants.
!"##$%%$"& (&)* +,)-% . /-,0% 1-&-2,3$"&
44 Set-up & Commence Programme Setting up the commission programme is the final stage of our pre operational approach and basically involves signing an agreement detailing responsibilities and limitations from both parties. A unique reference or referral code, which identifies lead or sale source must be set-up and communicated within your internal sales department. This code will allow all customers we acquire on your behalf be traced back to us. Where it is required that we use standard application forms provided by you, these forms may have to be modified to include a print of our referral code or an empty field which the customer is expected to complete if referred. We use proprietary systems to track our partnership, member customers and all earned commissions.
