First of all, I have to agree, this is an excellent thread! I don’t think the smaller affiliates think they are as important as a “VIP” partner, but they absolutely are. I haven’t been an AM for that long (13 months and counting), and in that time, I’ve seen quite a few changes in traffic and big/mid/small affiliate classifications. It is vital to each affiliate plan to acquire and assist affiliates of all sizes, because the market is ALWAYS changing. What’s more, we grow to have a personal connection more often with some of affilates who have needed help or asked for assistance over time, and watching them thrive is a great feeling!
My message to all affiliates out there who think they are too small or insignificant-look at this thread and what EVERY AM has said-you are absolutely valued. Don’t be afraid to ask for something you think “only the big guys would get”, you’d be surprised.
Again, awesome post!
