ASK 'EM Recruitment Program

What are the prizes?

Gift cards. For every member you recruit in the month of August you will receive a Best Buy gift card!

There is a new retailer each month. Check back to our website each month to see what the featured store will be. Refer. Recruit. Receive. You get a gift each time you get a new member to join!

Refer

You don't have to get a new member to join in order to participate in this program. You can simply refer potential members too. All you have to do is complete the referral form here and we will do all the recruitment. You will get an IAFC logo item as a thank you for notifying us of a potential member.

What is the difference between referring & recruiting?

A referral is giving us the name, title and contact information for a potential member and we'll send the person information on joining the IAFC and all of the benefits. Recruiting is actually getting a new member to join and putting your name on the bottom of the application to get credit for them signing up. The good news is with our new program you get rewarded for either one.

How can I enter?

Recruit a member. For each member you recruit we will send you a gift card to the featured retailer that month. Or complete the referral form and we'll send you an IAFC logo item for helping build our prospect database.
