I'm having an informal meeting (lunch) with one of my AMs next week and was hoping to get some advice from some more experience affiliates on how to get the most of out if (first time meeting him in person). Specifically, I was wondering what the etiquette is on deflecting questions that kind of get at how I run my campaigns / drive traffic. Obviously I want to keep that private without coming off as uncooperative. Has this ever come up for any of you, or do AMs typically know to just "not go there?"

Any advice on how to get the most out of the meeting would be great.

Thanks.
 


If you are honest and upfront on how you are promoting campaigns, you should be fine. AMs aren't going to expect you to give details on exactly how you are running things, what keywords you are targeting, etc. If it's a good AM, they aren't going to spill the beans to their other affiliates to give you competition. As long as you are promoting the offers in a way that is adhering to the network/advertiser's offer terms, you have nothing to worry about.
 
it's imperative that you out-dress your AM. Figure they'll come in a decent but probably 1 size too big suit if it's a guy. You should show up in no less than a tux and bow tie.

This shows that you not request, but DEMAND payout bumps, and that you're really fucking serious.
 
(Mostly) hilarious responses, thanks guys. I'm going to see what kind of info I can pump out of them w/o giving anything away from my side. Classic negotiation :)
 
The important thing for an AM to understand is what you do well with so that he/she can get you campaigns that fit you. It doesnt matter about your key words or where you buy as long as you dont violate the advertisers terms and conditions.
 
Most of the time lunch with AM's are a waste of time. Unless they can put you in contact with equal or larger producing affiliates. Ask them to take a few other good affiliates to lunch with you guys. You'll get more out of the lunch and make a few friends.
 
If it's a male AM you must perform fellatio. If it's a gay AM it's customary for them to perform fellatio on you. And if it's a female AM you must perform cunnilingus and toss her salad.

Damn I must be a shitty AM. :)

Pretty simple honestly traffic, offers, marketing. Then pictures of his gf and maybe ask what volume you have to hit for him to pimp her out to you :D
 
AM's are people just as you. It's not a job interview, just be cool and friendly, talk about life, the business ect. Everyone likes a nice guy ;)
