As promised I will also be transparent in all discussions I have with CAP. I did tell Yvette and Warren I would post the out come of our meeting.
First I must give credit to Warren for standing up and not hiding from the facts and admitting mistakes were made. I will say it is not what I expected – he was humble and did not try to spin the blame or make excuses. He also let me know that he will have to earn the trust of affiliates and affiliate programs but is committed to doing it.
I am done sitting on the fence and sitting around and waiting – I hope CAP proves me right.
The details of the improvements to CAP were not clear and projects were vague, they are still working out the details I am sure that they will take the ideas from programs and affiliates they talked to.
Unfortunately I am still not closer to making a choice on the extra’s CAP will be offering. I know that CAP has value but still not sure how much. I know many affiliate managers are not happy with the financial side for good reason. I hope more programs will keep an open dialogue with other affiliate programs so this will never happen again.
For affiliates I was told that the main goal for cap is giving more real information to help all affiliates grow. I know Bob will give us all some great knowledge – many more to come according the CAP staff.
I also offered to help CAP so that it will help me and my present and future affiliates – I hope it comes true.
Let me know your thoughts and please add your 2 cents – I would like to hear if you talked to Warren or with CAP staff, and what you came away with.
