Sales reps - its time you start working on something new
 

Better start building up something or look for a new job outside the industry soon. You will be needed less and less.

Orly? Yarly.

Just post tittes please...

I saved this thread!!!

cool pic and that will suck for the reps. I hope for them its not true.

I always wonder why more reps don't have their own traffic network on the side...

How exactly are they supposed to help affiliates without any hands on experience?

Couldnt have said it better myself :thumbsup

They don't.

Well-said. :winkwink:

whatever else happens in this thread i'm glad this pic will be here to save it

Smart reps have their own traffic AND directly benefit from being able to learn about how good affiliates make sales... :2 cents:

I'm saving up for breast implants...

Do you know an existing multi Brand Sales Rep?
I keep wondering why sales reps seems to be "monobranded" (pimped)

Then again, why would you want to be a sales rep if you can make money off your network :1orglaugh

I have worked with the hubby (TheDoc) on his programs and such, but I do not have MY OWN traffic network. I don't have a ton of time with kids and the random classes I take.

So after the office I'm online a lot at home but not doing my own traffic, just still doing my sales shit.

But I like to think I can help affiliates no problem ...

Sales reps will always be needed. Especially for handling webmaster related support/issues and office work which pertains to the business.

No wants to hire me... probably i`m over qualified
:thumbsup oohh no, i get always the question, why don`t you sell as affiliate for us instead of working for a salaray. it is never good :winkwink:

That's why they are sales rep ;)

Who's the guy with the sugar hair?

multi-task sales reps will always be needed...
those that can handle sales, support, backend shit, affiliate stuff, traffic management, etc.

those used to be 2-3-4 separate people, now they have to be melded into one...

Programs hire hot chicks to entertain poor, lonely, ass-chasing webmasters. Right now the only prerequisites for being an affiliate rep seem to be being female and a willingness to call webmasters hun and sweetie. 90% of webmasters eat that shit up. I almost never talk to an affiliate rep who knows even a fraction of what I know. What could someone like that possibly do to help me? A prerequisite for being an affiliate rep should be real experience in the business as well as operating their own websites.

That's a catch-22 though. If they had the knowledge to make their sites a success they wouldn't need to be an affiliate rep. Unfortunately, no program would ever pay what someone who knows their shit would demand for their expertise.

% deals can come a long way. Who the fuck hires a sales rep that have no insight in the biz and don't know what it's like to be an affiliate? Those are called board whores.

edit: sales rep is loose term though.

i have my own shit on the side :thumbsup

ive yet to come across any sales reps that have actually helped me lol

maybe im meeting the wrong ones :(:(

Some have helped me, usually that is just with content and site access etc. I'm not in that state that I have to ask an affiliate rep how to market their stuff, unless he is well-known for being good at SEO or something.

I didn't know anyone else was in Daytona Beach.. besides BV anyway but he's south.

What is it that you guys need help with anyway? I've always figured WE as affiliates are supposed to already know how to market and work our own traffic. The only thing I need from a program is somebody to give me anything special I may need...which is rare. I'm not sure what you guys are exactly expecting from a programs affiliate rep.

They already have a webmaster area, hosted everything, and basically hold your hand. Back the clock up to the "good old days" that you hear everybody talking about...say late 1990's. They gave you NOTHING. We had to buy content. Build galleries. Host them ourselves and drive traffic too. Oh yeah...they gave us banners.

I'm just wondering what the complaint now is. And what more do you want from an affiliate rep. And if you happen to be one of our affiliates at SOLO SLUT CASH what more you might need from us.

Yea that's pretty much the way I look at it. The only time I contact a sale rep, is if something wrong.

I figured the hosting, you had to buy the content also?

Oh yeah...we used to have to buy content discs and make galleries. And I'd make up some wild bullshit about what the girl did in the site. And of course, the girl wasn't even IN that site! LOL!
Later on, Max Cash started SELLING content to their affiliates. I still have one of those old discs.
But yeah, it was pretty much everybody buying the cheapest old content you could find. Then shuffling through thousands of pics to make a "teen" gallery or an "amateur" gallery.
Fortunately it didn't really matter if you made a sale back then.

The members areas were just an afterthought and the entire business ran on the three or four big companies at the time selling traffic to each other through the 50 million pop ups that they had on their sites. You sent some traffic to a Max Cash site and there would be a popup with 100 ARS sites on it! LOL!

So they basically would just say "oh you made 650 sales this month at $40 per sale" Even though you probably didn't make any :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The good old days... :disgust

I agree, same here.. just access or content question, but thats about it..

I just could have worded my reply a lot better :thumbsup

It was just an observation mostly, I never need anything from any affiliate reps. But then again when you post a bad ratio on GFY the very first thing they say is "how come you didn't contact us?"...

born and raised. :thumbsup

K, i posted titty pics Here

I should be paid for a week!

That's true...I guess a little "damage control" is probably part of the gig too. Makes sense.

Sales reps are like forum moderators :)

Uh oh...
