All of the following are tactics that brands can use to in centi viz e stronger performance from their partners, except ___________.

Reversals are not a tactic to incentivize stronger performance; they are a mechanism to claw back commissions paid on returned products or canceled services. While necessary for accurate accounting, reversals do not motivate partners to sell more or perform better. Flat fees, tiered commissions, and free product are all effective incentives. Flat fees provide a guaranteed payment, encouraging partners to engage. Tiered commissions reward higher performance with increased commission rates, directly motivating greater sales volume. Free product can be used as a bonus, a sales tool, or for partner education, all of which can drive stronger performance.
