I've seen programs where the affiliate rep does pretty much nothing and has no say whatsoever ... and there are quite a few programs where the owner respects the affiliate manager(s) so much that they let them make most of the decisions.
In fact, one time I went to an owner thinking that it was over the affiliate managers head and he in turn wanted the affiliate manager to make the decision. Actually, if I recall correctly, I think the affiliate manager told me to ask the owner and the owner told me to let the affiliate manager make the decision.
