The Shared Engagement Pool is a program structure where the reward for a single conversion is divided equally among every collaborator who had any engagement with the customer. It doesn’t matter how high each collaborator’s engagement score is. If they engaged at all, they get an equal share.
When a customer converts, Siren looks at every collaborator with a non-zero engagement score for that customer, divides the conversion reward by the number of qualifying collaborators, and creates one obligation per collaborator for an equal share.
How it works
If a customer converts on a $1,000 sale with a 10% commission, the reward for that conversion is $100. If three collaborators each had some engagement with that customer (scores of 500, 200, and 50), all three receive an equal $33.33 share. The collaborator who drove 500 engagement points gets the same payout as the one who only drove 50.
Where this works
This structure fits programs where multiple touchpoints genuinely contribute to a sale and you want to credit everyone involved without running a contest over who contributed most. It works best when commissions are large enough that splitting them still leaves each collaborator meaningfully paid.
The multi-touch sales attribution recipe uses this structure to split credit equally among every affiliate who touched a sale. High-ticket sales cycles with multiple experts involved (consultants, content creators, closers) are a natural fit.
When to avoid this
If contribution levels vary widely and your top performers would resent subsidizing minor contributors, use the Performance Weighted Pool instead. If you want a single winner per conversion, use Top Score Wins.
It also doesn’t work well for low-margin sales. Splitting a $5 commission four ways leaves each collaborator with $1.25, which usually isn’t enough to motivate anyone.
Comparison with the distribution-level structure
The distribution-level Shared Engagement Pool works the same way conceptually but operates over a time period instead of per conversion. The program-level version splits a single conversion reward among engaged collaborators. The distribution-level version splits an accumulated reward pool among every collaborator who earned any metric score during the period.
