Negotiating Better Rates

Once you have traction, you should always negotiate better terms. Here's how.

When to Negotiate

After your first 20-30 FTDs

When you've been consistent for 2+ months

When you can demonstrate quality traffic (high retention, decent deposits)

When another broker offers you better terms (use as leverage)

What to Negotiate

Item	Typical Improvement
CPA rate	+20-50% increase
Rebate per lot	+$2-5 per lot
Rev share percentage	+5-10%
Payment frequency	Monthly → bi-weekly or weekly
Minimum payout	Lower threshold ($100 → $50)
Dedicated landing pages	Custom pages for your traffic
Exclusive promotions	Special offers for your referrals

How to Negotiate

Step 1: Prepare Your Data

Total FTDs delivered

Average deposit size

Client retention rate

Your traffic sources and quality

Competing offers from other brokers

Step 2: The Conversation

Email template:

"Hi [Manager], I've delivered [X] FTDs over [Y] months with an average deposit of $[Z]. I'm looking to scale my marketing spend but need better terms to make the economics work. [Competitor] has offered me $[rate] — can we discuss upgrading my current deal?"

Step 3: Be Ready to Walk

Have alternatives ready

Don't bluff — only mention real competing offers

Be willing to split your traffic (send some to a competitor)

Broker Perspective

Understanding what brokers value helps you negotiate:

Quality over quantity — High-deposit clients are worth more

Retention — Clients who trade for months are more profitable

Clean traffic — No fraud, no self-referrals

Consistent volume — Predictable monthly FTDs

Multi-geo traffic — Tier 1 country traffic is premium

Advanced: Sub-IB Programs

Once you reach 50+ FTDs/month, explore sub-IB programs:

Recruit other IBs under your network

Earn 5-20% override on their commissions

Some BIAFC tiers include enhanced sub-IB rates

This is how top IBs build truly passive income

Key Takeaway

Never accept the first offer. Even a $50 increase in CPA across 100 FTDs/month = $5,000/month more income. Negotiate with data, not demands.
