They have to reach at least 500 new sales, rebills not included.

When a new rep starts with us, we give them about 200 WMs from our database so they have a base to work with.

LOL, couldn't have made it a little easier for them could ya?

In all seriousness tho, a solid person in this industry with decent contacts can hit 500 sales a month in no time at all, it's only 17 sales a day.

That's complete bullshit. Anyone in 2011 who can generate 500 new sales a month is a superstar.

Really? From a list of 200 webmasters??? Maybe you're in the wrong business.

And yet porno bought my house and all my toys...

If those are 200 active webmasters with sites sending traffic, maybe. If they are cheap joins, maybe.

But I doubt it. I'm separating the bullshit from the business here --

Look around you at this industry. I'm not going to name names but I know people who had 5000 member sites that are happy if they do 10 sales a day today. I know people who had million dollar sites doing 100+ joins a day, who are lucky to do 25. I know people on this board with big personalities who have side jobs to pay the bills.

So if you can come up with 6000 new sales a year in 2011 you can write your own ticket.

One of my guy's commission last month was $6400, at $1/sale, you do the math.

You know you can hit me up and I'll take a screenshot to prove it to you too.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm arguing with the people who say it's easy. But hell if you are handing out $6k checks maybe I should come to Tucson and intern.

Well, we baseline things. So if you get WM X who has 20 joins, you have to get him to send 21 before you get credit for it and you only get $1/sale past that baseline.

I've noticed the database isn't as good as it sounds. Those are old WMs who are on auto pilot. You got to be able to utilize your own contacts and have the balls to just cold hit up people.

Okay phew, I don't like Jimmy arguments.

Seriously though, it isn't easy but it can be done. You can pretty much hit up one of the TB guys at any time and have one of us respond.

Bison Witches misses you.

I'm sure you're up to your ears in bitter ex-employees looking for the last seat on the gravy train, but I'd sure as hell love to know how you guys do the magic that you do.

Anyway I'd only move back for the pie case at Congress:

Yep i gotta agree with you on that Kristin. A very wise friend of mine told me that a while ago... Trying to do everything well like the Brazzers and RK guys do is almost impossible unless you have unlimited amount of resources at your disposal. It's better to just pick out a few specific niches that you UNDERSTAND and do really well and focus on them.

I guess I better have a chat with PR_Dave then about increasing my salary. I have Ad buys that are doing 17 sales a day without much day to day work. I just monitor CTR's and swap out banners when it gets below a certain level.

I love how one mention of affiliate manager in a gfy thread and it instantly gets 2 pages. I understand how their can be some tension between affiliate managers and traffic generating webmasters but its really unjust. It's always the same people in the threads with the same comments. Affiliate managers get treated worse than the the .xxx people, Chris Mallick and the zango people on a good day.

Not to step on Kristin's or Ross's nuts here but you also have to consider some of the webmasters we are working with in our programs as well. One good webmaster can reach that mark easily--even these days. So with 200 active ones...

What separates Ross from most of us is he can generate good numbers from thin air practically so that makes him invaluable to us because of it.

Except for that fake accent, its' getting old, he really grew up in Cleveland...

I think a lot of people in our industry believe what everyone else is saying. Thread after thread on GFY about low sales and people just give up. I guess a lot of them are not used to working 10 hours a day to generate good sales.

Hey bud, yeah I understand that there's webmaster out there suffering

I wish I could help them all....

As a sales person in this industry its almost impossible to do 17 joins a day with all these webmasters out there

There's so many more joins out there... I dont think too many people understand that

500 sales a month is VERY easy for a good webmaster these days. Even within my industry its very possible for a single webmaster to do that

that ll be a good start eh?

JustJ · 05-11-2011, 08:08 PM

22k? I got my first job in adult 13 years ago at 35k ;). But, I also believe in "prove yourself in 60 days or move on" ..

We also provide health, dental and vision insurance, 401k, FSA, Vacation/PTO, and iPads.

Commission is $1 per join with a monthly quota of 500 sales. My guys blow this out of the water, so there is still plenty of money to be made as a rep.

That's why I never got the constant job jumping, Sly and Nadya have been with us for four years and I don't think plan on leaving any time soon. I hope not at least.

AK · 10-04-2011, 07:14 PM

I have been reading this thread today and think I'd bump this lol.

I'm still looking for two new sales reps to bring in new sales and bring back old affiliates .
I have few candidates that I need to get back to.

Like Kristin said, we can also give the old affiliates for them to start.

Jay and Brandon are still my two main guys and are focusing on different verticals right now, but we still think there are affiliates out there who haven't worked with us.

Oh, the new positions are good with remote too. Hit me up ;)
