At our recent GNet Connect Workshop Wednesday, we had the pleasure of hosting Andrew Tighe, Affiliate Director at RMA Worldwide, for a session we called Affiliationship 101. Andrew shared valuable tips for building stronger affiliate relationships and using GNet Connect to grow your business — whether you’re a small operator or a large global provider.
Here are the key takeaways:
💼 What RMA Looks For in an Affiliate
Andrew was crystal clear about what top-tier companies expect from their affiliates:
- Consistency and Reliability: Your service should be just as dependable in Chicago as it is in Geneva.
- Chauffeur Excellence: It’s not just the vehicle — it’s the experience. Dress, professionalism, punctuality, and attitude matter.
- Booker and Passenger Satisfaction: Remember, the person booking the ride cares just as much (if not more) as the person taking it.
- Incident Response: Mistakes happen — what matters is how quickly, honestly, and effectively you handle them.
“Every affiliate represents the company that sent them the job. It’s not just a ride, it’s a reflection of your brand.” – Andrew Tighe
📈 How GNet Helps You Meet Those Expectations
Andrew emphasized that RMA relies daily on GNet to scale operations while keeping quality high. Key benefits include:
- Real-time reservation sharing
- Faster confirmations and status updates
- Standardized service delivery across global markets
- Less manual work, fewer errors, more scalability
🛠 GNet Connect: Your Digital Affiliate Profile
Andrew praised GNet Connect as a modern tool for affiliate discovery and vetting. Here’s why:
- Your Digital Presence: Don’t have a website? No problem. GNet Connect lets you build a professional profile — services, fleet, locations, documents — without hiring a web developer.
- Document Management: Upload licenses, permits, and insurance certificates. The platform even alerts you before documents expire.
- Affiliation Requirements: Want to work with RMA? GNet Connect shows you exactly what they require — and helps you check if your docs are up to par.
- Advanced Search: Operators like Andrew search by vehicle type, service type, or location — make sure your profile is visible and complete!
🤝 Pro Tips from the Pros
- Don’t post your needs on Facebook — use GNet Connect’s “Affiliate Needs” feature to privately request partners.
- Update your profile regularly — GNet’s search algorithm prioritizes complete and active profiles.
- Think long-term — Be the affiliate that companies trust, not just one they try.
“GNet Connect is becoming the LinkedIn of our industry. Don’t miss the chance to be discovered.” – Andrew Tighe
