Affiliate, Coupon, Sales Tracking

I have a few sales people that are going to go out to businesses and try to sell my service. My question is....What is the best way to track sales for each sales person?

I was thinking about giving each sales person a coupon code that they would give to customers so that when the customer signs up they'd be sure to enter it to get a discount. I don't believe you can use the affiliate tracking with coupon codes can you?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brandon

It may be possible to hack amember to change the affiliate to the coupon. aMember may have done this already as I've seen this question before.
Send in a tech support ticket to see if they can do it.

I have the exact same question... I searched and this is the closest post I could find. I'd like new signups to be able to enter a code (affiliate code) right on the signup page that is given to them be a salesperson (affiliate). This way they get credit for the manual offline signup.

I'd like to do it by affiliate username or, even better, first initial and last name (ie John Doe = JDOE). Then, on signup page, you enter the value. Perhaps even have a droplist of available affiliates and you select which one from the list. So, I believe I can figure out all the PHP for the signup page as described above. Then on submit I'd need to know how to then take the selected aff_id and make sure it gets added to the new member record. Can you offer insight on how/where I look for that?

Only those who I specify (manually via the admin or in the database) will be affiliates. After looking into it deeper, I've decided that I want to generate a batch of coupons using the built-in Amember coupon system but I want to assign that batch to an affiliate. Anyone who uses one of those coupons gets assigned to that affiliate then. Is this easily doable? For example, I want a droplist of affiliates on the coupon generate page so I can pick which affiliate they would be assigned to.
