Would affiliate program work for us?

We would like to benefit from an affiliate program. We understand that
the essence of an affiliate program is that enquiries/orders can be
electronically tracked and monitored by affiliates. The problem is
that as well as taking orders online, we also offer customers the
option to order our product by phone or mail. In fact most like to
speak to us before ordering. Actual orders are then split roughly
equally between the 3 methods.

Can anyone see a way that we can make an affiliate program work?

Thanx
