I am sick and tired of reading through long e-mails and want to see the 8 seconds elevator sales pitch also in e-mails. The option of a personal contact via skype or phone is the winning point. With regard to the sales kit, as an affiliate manager as well as an affiliate I would only want to use a real good kit. With all the same stuff out there, I would not want to get another " oh, we have the best software and the coolest graphics" phrases packed in a beautiful sales kit. Your sales kit would need to address good arguments why affiliate manager benefit from selling your product and why affiliates also benefit from pushing your product to the front row, all compared to market standards. "A player gets $500 up to 100% match up first sign-up bonus" doesn't pull the trigger any longer. Adi Brandon,

If I received two emails, one of which was a mile long and outlined every detail at a program, and one that had a skype name and said "I represent XYZ poker, Let's chat", I'd definitely respond to the second one first. I like the idea about the sales kit page, that'd really help affiliates get an idea about your program to see if they're interested and want to chat more. - Mike Brandon,
