One of the things I have come across while being in this industry is tracking and accountability, and I don’t mean cookies. The reason you get those bone head emails is because nobody took the time to document what they were doing. Most companies or AM’s don’t have a good CRM. Outlook and excel or Direct Track do not qualify as a crm. Had the affiliate manager kept track of emails, communications, campaigns run, niches, etc in a tool then when they decided to leave the next could have had all that at their fingertips and picked right up without sending out bone head profiling emails. However if someone was following this methodology that you outline, which is simple sales pipeline management they likely wouldn’t be handing the reigns to someone else because they actually did their job effectively.

I can post this, but whether anyone takes any action might be a different matter.

@Ben – you neglected to mention that once everyone has a little alcohol in them, everyone becomes good friends and the secrets spill out.

Hence, I make it a point not to drink (too) much during conferences, as our mutual friend, John Chow, found out….

Actually, AMs have a base pay and a performance component.

If you have a few super affiliates under your belt, the pay will be very decent.

good post Andrew… this will definitely make all affiliate managers thinking about their objective and how to maximise their overridding commissions…

I think any affiliate manager worth his weight should know how to run their own “profitable” campaigns, and be active in affiliate marketing circles/forums above and beyond what they normally are expected.

Geoff Marcy was a prime example of that type of aff. manager, he will be missed dearly.

LOL @ the bone headed intro email. I think an essential question to ask any affiliate is, “What do you drink?” Attending conferences is key as well, it’s nice to put a face to a name.. of course, ASE would easily put you behind a good chunk but, like you said, it takes money to make money.

good point, it doesn’t take much to find the players that are somewhat vocal in this space.

Hi Andrew Pee Pee

Remember affiliate manager is a very very low paid position and lots of the reasons for being hired is your list of affiliates you can bring so promising big and delivering low just to get a wage is part of the job
