- On the left navigation, click Co-Marketing Partners > Invite New Connections.
- A pop-up box appears.
- Under Enter Your Connection's Email Address for Co-Marketing, type in the name of the contact or input their email address if they are not a contact in your system.
- Note: Please ensure there are no spaces if inputting emails.
- Choose Create Invitation OR Next.
- Clicking Next sends you straight to sending the invitation if multiple connections were selected.
If Create Invitation was Chosen
- (Optional) update email content (if applicable).
- Note: The email subject header automatically pulls in your account name ({{ sender.f_name }}) while the email body message automatically pulls in the recipient name ({{ recipient.f_name }}).
- Click Send Invitation.
If Next was Chosen

After the invitation has been sent, the co-marketer receives an email asking them to accept.
Co-Marketer Accepting Their Invitation
Note
The co-marketer receives an email asking them to co-market after the invitation has been sent.
- Navigate to your email inbox.
- Open the email labeled [Name] Invited You to Co-Market on Total Expert!
- Note: The email subject field may be different.
- Follow the instructions to accept and create your profile.
Example of email invitation:
If the co-marketing partner does not have a TE account, the accept invitation button brings them to a page where they set up their account. If they do have an account, they are prompted to sign in to the TE platform.
Tip
If you don't see the email in your inbox, search your junk/spam folder for "Total Expert."
