I think shaking your head is a perfectly appropriate thing to do.

Are these guys building a business? Do they understand that their business is built by partnerships with people who know how to get the word out effectively about what they do?

I’m seeing a lot of this lately from affiliate managers.

On a related topic, I still haven’t been able to get a single affiliate manager (I’ve asked many) to respond to why you would ever completely dump a non-producing affiliate, rather than segmenting them into a “non-productive affiliates” category.

Any thoughts on why an affiliate manager would dump an affiliate who’s not shown sales in the last 3 months?

Thanks for sharing another example of poor judgement on the part of an affiliate manager. Any suggestions on what we can do to help them see our side? I’m willing to work to see their side of the coin… it just seems that they’re not really willing to explain anything about their side of the coin, and just expect affiliates to “get” why they do what they do.

Warmest,
