- AirDrop or Text: The next time you end your consultation send them your affiliate link in text so clients can read and discover more about your recommendations through their service.

Ensuring Understanding and Importance
To ensure your clients understand the importance of using your affiliate link, take these steps:
- Education: Briefly explain the affiliate program and how it benefits both you and them.

Effective Follow-Up
After introducing or sharing your affiliate link, follow up with your clients to maximize its usage and your commissions:
- Friendly Reminders: Politely remind them about the link and its benefits or ask them about their experience using your link during future visits.
- Incentives: Consider offering small incentives for clients who use your affiliate link.
- Feedback Loop: Have them text you when their product arrives to ensure they are satisfied (and make sure they ordered what you recommended). This also allows for you to share usage tips now that their product is in their hands.
