Welp guys, I hope I can make it Number 3 as we are working on launching Angel Dollars (Amateur Site Program) and once it is launched it will be what I am pushing 75% of the time and TCM will have about 25% of my work hours devoted towards it.
I have a "little" experience at being a webmaster - hopefully I don't come across to everyone like some of the reps you guys have dealt with. I will be the first to admit I don't know everything about marketing this particular niche but I do remember the fundamentals and a majority of the problems with bad signup ratios can be fixed by
A ) Changing the site you are sending traffic to in that niche
B ) Tweaking your pages and making the advert much more targetted - I will be trying to work in geo-targetted ads for our amateur sites once we launch... or a few weeks down the road.
The idea of seeing "Susan the pickle sucker loves to hear from men in Chicago, IL" etc... is an outstanding way to market amateur programs as you are really trying to give that person a one on one connection with the amateur model herself - this is a different niche and I have alot to learn about it but I will elarn it quickly. Hopefully past friends will answer a few questions here and there for me
lol
And the
"I took the time to write this you better take the time to reply" should get a person fired, period, bar none, no excuses... If I did it I would EXPECT to be fired and quickly. That is more than unethical it is just outright rude.
On the main subject I think there are 2 types of account reps. Actually let's make it 3.
1) The one who handles current affilaites and their needs along with giving them advice on how to improve their signup ratios through design, wording, or layout changes.
2) The one who spends all of his time recruiting new affiliates
3) Combine #1 & #2 as well as giving management advice on the program and improvements that would increase productivity.
The main problem is yeah I can imagine affilaite managers get to pushy promoting their sites. Pressure sales never work people, those of us who have common sense know this so obviously if you are being pressure sold to get traffic running through an old program or a new one through ICQ/Abrasive e-mails - Block them and put their program on the "Do not do business with list"
However if they drop you an e-mail and say "Man you were kicking ass there for a while, I know I would of been happy with stats like that if it was my traffic 
I just figured I would drop you a line to see if you needed any new promo materials, pictures, or anything else for I could do for you"
- Just My Humble Opinion
