Depends on the company and whether they pay on commission or quota.

Some companies will not let you assist any affiliate that didn't originally sign up under your link cuz they dont' trust you to see all the numbers. That always sucks cuz you could help them immediately but you have to sound like a dumbshit and tell them "Sorry I don't have access to your account".

Some companies expect you to bring a certain number of affiliates to the program each day and if they don't use your link for whatever reason, they won't switch them to you. This is usually because they are paying a decent commission and they want any excuse to not pay you for any accounts possible.

Some companies allow you to move an affiliate to your list and expect you to take care of them permanently if they came to you for any reason at all.

I've worked places where I honestly just didn't want the other reps bugging my people. I know what they need and when they need it. I don't want them being badgered weekly by reps that have very little experience and don't know the webmasters or their sites.

I always figure that my salary stands for helping any and all affiliate in the database. Going after dormant accounts, helping the whales in getting them whatever they need, contributing ideas which will benefit the affiliate program as a whole, etc. I can't stand being in a position where my sole purpose is ONLY to get new people. I'd get bored too fast. I love every aspect of what I do.

As the saying goes, "You can't get paid for more than you do until you do more than you get paid for. "

Anyway.. blah I got too wordy there, sorry.
