This really blows my mind. My feeling is spend a tiny bit of the millions these programs make every month and hire a few more $10 an hour girls to help handle the load. I get annoyed when I hear an affiliate manager saying they are overwhelmed. I don’t get annoyed at the actual affiliate manager themselves but rather the programs who are not smart enough to realize this is costing them money by not having great support.
I just can’t believe the kind of money I generate for some of these programs and instead of spending my time bringing money in the door, I have to waste it chasing money down and emailing several times to get a simple answer. It just blows my mind. I have already dropped a few programs because of this and there are a few on the bubble that will be gone soon too if this continues. I get really funny about business, perhaps old fashioned even. I wish some of these programs would realize its not a damn game, its a multi billion dollar industry and demands to be treated like so.
That being said there are some great programs I work with where I never have a problem, and kudos to those programs. You earn top positions because you treat this like a real business. For the other programs, you will never max out on your full potential until you start treating this like a real business. Its a damn shame to have such a great product and have that negated by lousy support. I can’t tell you how many programs are missing the boat on my action because they cant find the time to reply to a simple query I had. Its elementary watson. All I can say is duh.
