Yes, I’m a busy guy, but I want to do business with some other companies out there. Do they want to do business with me? Apparently not.

The CPA networks in the affiliate industry are highly competitive. Just ask Danny over at Copeac, who’ll do just about anything for you. Danny saw the potential in me, and we’ve worked well together. However, there are others who just ignore me. I’ve been waiting for 8 days now for a phone call from another network, who said they’d call me in “like an hour”. I’m getting ready to launch another campaign, and guess who’s getting my leads?

Before I “retired” (according to my dad), we had a client that wanted to buy a secure certificate from us. That’s like what, $40? Guess what… they became the 3rd largest client we had.

The one that really ticks me off is a local home-improvement company who had given me a proposal for nearly $40,000 in work to my house. They had their ducks in a row, even aligned with a bank for financing. I was moving along, then the sales kid tell me they’re pulling the storm doors from the proposal, and I should just get them from Lowe’s. HELL NO! If I’m paying you $40,000 to work on my house, you’ll install the $600 storm doors you jerk! You’re leaving $40,000 on the table because of $600 in doors? Idiot.

The point is, unless you’re explicitly told “no”, don’t assume someone doesn’t want to do business with you. Oh, and small fish grow into big fish. Someday I’ll sink your boat.
