I won't go into naming names.
If you ask for sponsors, sites or something in those lines, tons of people will jump on your ICQ. Friendly, chatty, willing to help and cooperate.
Everything goes smooth until you get to the point, "now please join our program via this link:
www.sponsor.com?id=salesrep
"
WTF!
I don't like to join your program via your link, I am already a member!
The conversation stops there, 70% of the so called sales reps loose their interest and leave you hang.
IF you want some real help, first ask if the "sales rep" is on the payroll of the company.
