  • {{risk_factors}}: Any known risks or concerns in my current network.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask me for it before proceeding.

  4. Identify underperforming affiliates and recommend whether to renegotiate, retrain, or terminate.
  5. Propose a negotiation strategy for commission rates, using performance data to justify changes.

  7. Provide a clear action plan with priorities and timelines.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Top Performers, Underperformers, Negotiation Strategy, Risk Assessment, and Action Plan. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep the tone professional and data-driven.
