I enquired about a few things that i know would step up my sales from 30-40 a week, to 60-70 a week. Because they "dont do that stuff" i was told it was unlikely it would happen (despite it only taking a maximum of 8-10 man hours to finish my request).

So instead i put out my feelers and ended up sending that traffic to a diferant sponsor. Now from the time that sponsor that couldnt help me to the time the new sponsor who did, i generated the traffic flow, and sent them over 130 sales (few weeks).

I can still do this to the other sponsors, but im so fuckin sick of all their bullshit.

"we'll let you know"
"we're working on it for you now"
"im not sure thats doable"
"as soon as these new sites are wrapped up"

etc etc
And then you have those sponsors (big names) who's henchmen can't even particpate in some business development dialogue and wind up shunning your conversations aside because they are too damn stupid to even understand. And from there, getting someone from upper management in the spirit of presenting a new proposal comes to no avail.

"We work to give you the best tools to make you RICH!" is a load of bullshit, because none of it accounts for affiliates with programs that may need custom integration.
