-- Someone that actually has previous sales experience to handle the sales issues that arise when dealing with affiliates. Either you can sell or you cant, its not a taught skill .... I speak from 10+ years of sales experience in the IP carrier space..running mainstream affiliate programs currently and project management roles.
-- Someone that you can trust almost blindly that has the companies vision in mind when working there. You have to be 110% professional at all times, This means - acting the part of a professional sales person, not being a drunken asshat at shows doing things that have you apologizing later on boards for. You are the face of the company you represent, make it the best possible face you can.
-- Be organized with everything you touch in your business's dealings.
-- Know how to develop relationships over time. You are not going to make the webmasters send you 1000000 joins a day after 1 conversation.... but, in time once the relationship is in place, you will have people depend on you as a trusted resource.
-- Treat each webmaster as you would expect to be treated if you were on the other end of the line. You would want to be respected and taken seriously, do the same for them and the word gets out that you are someone worth knowing.
