Groove; I wish I could give you a different answer than I gave the others who said this
The fact is we have no contract, and the monthly fee is as low as $150/month. It takes us 20+ hours (real hours, not billed hours) to do the walkthrough and setup alone. We work hand in hand with you on it. The installation and configuration takes hours on top of that. We can't invest 30+ hours into something for someone who pays us $150 then bails becuase he didn't have his ducks in order or gets tired of the industry or deicdes to do something else. $150 for 30+ hours of our time is just not viable.
This is also why we split the installation/setup/walkthrough into two pieces. If a company is in a rush, they can take the walktrhough and get everything setup in ready as fast as possible. If they are not in a rush, they can take only the $500 install fee and do the setup/config themseves. We will of course help them, just not nearly as extensively as we will with the walkthrough. Also, any quetions or problems you have during the setup/config process that we help you with do not take away from your support instances if you take the setup/walkthrough by us. It really is a VALUE at $1000. It may sound like a lot of money, but once you've worked with us, or talk to those who have, you will understand it is quite a deal.
If a company/person can not afford $650 to get his affiliate program rollling with the best software out there, then he is not ready to run a solid program in my opinion.
