I will be attending CAC Amsterdam 2009 later on this week and am pretty damn excited about it. Its been awhile since I have been to one of the conferences, and am looking forward to seeing everyone again! I leave on Friday the 26th and arrive the 27th in the morning.

I will be there until the 1st of April, just in time to get back for my birthday.

I will be staying in an apartment with Jeremy Enke, Kyle Healey, John Holloway, and Steve Cook. It should be a pretty crazy week!

Anyone that is attending and wants to meet up or grab a beer, drop me an email or leave a comment on this post.

Will be giving live updates on http://twitter.com/acedcom and http://twitter.com/brandonberndt if you are interested.

Since I have been working as a Affiliate Program Consultant, I figured I would dive into a hot topic. How to contact an Affiliate. This is directed towards Affiliate Managers of course.

When contacting Affiliates, its best to KISS (that’s Keep It Simple Stupid in case you have been living under a rock for ever). You never want to be to pushy, and never want to seem uneducated. Its important to remember that you won’t land them as an affiliate with your first contact email, but you can DEFINITELY lose them.

Keep in mind these emails are unsolicited. This is why when I am sending the first email out to a possible Affiliate I will make a statement like “Hope you don’t mind the email” or “Sorry for the disturbance”.

I always make sure to get the point across and put the ball in their court. I don’t talk about what type of deals I can give them, and I don’t lay out all that my Affiliate Program has to offer. I would rather talk to them personally and explain my program to them on Skype or over the phone. This way I can A. Sell my product and show how much I truly believe in it, and B. Answer any questions they have. (more…)
