he gave me the "oh yeah, we are totally redoing that, it is going to be better than anyone elses, give me two weeks"......now, 3 months later, still nothing and he won't even respond to me in threads about it....I emailed the programs mail email and they said they weren't working on anything like that, and the promo tool was exactly how it was going to stay

my questions

1. why would any program hire someone that was just a "yes" man, handing out promises that he knows he can't keep?

2. why would he flat out lie to me, knowing that eventually it would be found out?

3. why are affiliate reps such idiots a lot of the time? don't programs know it hurts more than helps in the long run?
I would rather tell an affiliate I am unable to get them what they need then to lie to them. I have found if i can explain why to them 99% of the affiliates out there will understand, they might not send traffic to the sites but at least they are not pissed. If I don't have the tool they need then they weren't going to send traffic to me in the first place.

I enjoy getting suggestions and feedback from affiliates because the more of those i get the better the program becomes. Thanks for your help in the past Jace
