Our goal is to make it seamless for you to track and manage your co-op balance. We’ll break down where you can view marketing co-op you have earned, spent, and approved for your downline agents. For additional help feel free to reach out your account manager.
Section 1: Viewing your total balance
Navigate to [https://platform.sparkadvisors.com/](https://platform.sparkadvisors.com/)
Click the "Agency View".
Click "Finances".
Click "View co-op marketing payments".
Note: you can scroll down to the section "Co-Op Marketing Payments \[Outgoing\]" to view the list of all transactions paid out directly or to your agents.
Scroll down to the section "Co-Op Marketing Agreements \[Earnings\]". This is a list of all agreements you have signed with Spark. We code each agreement based on its start date, end date, applicable carriers, applicable marketing period (e.g. AEP, OEP), and a number of other details. You can download the specific agreement under the column "Agreement Copy".
Note these details about the agreements: - The “Agreement Type” column describes whether it is a variable or static earning. For example, an agreement that is tied to your production over a time period is "variable" whereas a 1x earning is "static". - If you have asked Spark to automatically allocate co-op to downline agencies, you will be able to see the agreements in a table further down the page. - We are unable to share detailed reports for enrollments before 6/1/23 as we upgraded our method for sourcing and importing production reporting.
To understand the "Earned Credit" for each agreement, click "Open". This will open a page that shows the qualifying enrollments (MAPD, new-to-carrier that has not churned after 3 months) by carrier and a change-log to show how the earnings have increased over time.
For further details, you can view the co-op qualifying enrollments by date and carrier in your Dashboard. Returning to the main Platform, select "Dashboard", then scroll down to the "Enrollments" section on the first page. You can adjust the filters along the top for the time period you're focused on in the table: *[[New and active enrollments by agent, effective date and carrier]]*
To export the co-op eligible enrollment for your downline, select the 3 buttons and click "download results" (as csv).
If you are seeking to determine how much co-op support you can approve for each agent in your agency, you can use the [worksheet we created here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14KNhcJ_mpiP3Aj_DJ0KqcvlUZ7fbjeyAl4Dj_fO4MyI/edit?usp=sharing) and follow the instructions.
