Affiliate Manager Expectations

I made a post over at WickedFire asking what everybody’s expectations of their Affiliate Manager is. I’ve copied my exact post below and I’ve also linked to it here.

What are your expectations from your affiliate manager?

Mine are simple.

  1. Timely responses. I HATE waiting a few hours for a response, let alone 24 hours. Anything over 4 hours is unacceptable in my opinion. And I hate waiting for anything longer than 2 hours when it comes to this business.
  2. Network/AM as a whole. I want to hear any changes from them concerning the campaigns I’m creating leads for, such as payout changes, rules/requirement changes, etc… BEFORE they happen. A few hours notice would be sufficient so I can make changes accordingly.

I don’t feel that’s too much to ask.

What are your expectations?

I know many network owners and affiliate managers have read this post. Chime in on the post or in my comments if you would like your thoughts to be read.
