Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards Announced

Posted by Matt McWilliams in Affiliate Marketing News, Awards, Legacy News on January 19th, 2010

Earlier today I was extremely honored to be named the Affiliate Manager of the Year at the Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards.

I was not at the awards ceremony (I was busy serving you here after all) but I did have one of our affiliates Joe Sousa notify me of the results and accept on my behalf on the off chance I won.

Well, I was incredibly surprised and honored by announcement that I won. I really don’t know what to say at this point other than thank you…

To my Heavenly Father for creating me and endowing me with the gifts I simply try to use to the best of my ability each day and fall woefully short of doing so…and for leading me here to Legacy Learning Systems.
To my wife, Tara, for being the voice of sanity in usually hectic days and always encouraging me to serve our affiliates better, among much more for which I am thankful to her. I love you so much, Sweetheart.
To you for being such great affiliates. Truly, you make it absolutely a true joy to serve you each day. Coming to work is a blast…except when our internet goes down or my printer doesn’t work haha.
To this company. To Gabriel Smith, our CEO, for trusting me to do what is right with this program and to our entire team for making such great products.
To those who nominated me. I found out there were more of you than I ever knew. I appreciate you thinking of me.
To Shawn Collins and Missy Ward for putting on the awards.

OK, I will spare you anything else, but I did want to write this and express my heartfelt gratitude for this honor.

Back to working on our Pay Per Call Campaigns on ShareASale!

My Nomination for Best New Affiliate Manager on ABestWeb

Posted by Matt McWilliams in Awards on January 14th, 2010

ABestWeb is currently taking nominations for their annual awards (thank you for the nominations so far by the way for best Affiliate Manager and the nomination for best affiliate program) and I nominated Patrick Vesperman of MagnetStreet for Best New Affiliate Manager of 2009 and I thought I would share why and perhaps provide a few tips for other new affiliate managers.

First of all, I had to actually ask Patrick when he started as an Affiliate Manager ? July of 2009. Because I was sure that he had been doing it longer.

Second, he is one of the most available, quick, and easiest to reach Affiliate Managers out there. I don?t think I have ever waited more than an hour for a reply to one of his emails.

My friend, Joe Sousa wrote a post a while back entitled ?Affiliate Managers Who Get It? and let me tell you that Patrick GETS IT. Joe highlights some traits of a good affiliate manager and Patrick has all of them.

Patrick seems to be one of the most willing to learn people in the industry and that is rare unfortunately. He and I have communicated quite a bit and I am sure he has learned a bit from me, but I have learned a lot from him as well. Not bad for a ?newbie? Patrick

Let me just say one more thing?Patrick is about as humble as they come, which is a character trait that I could definitely use more of. I am pretty sure this post and this video will annoy him, but I have to give credit where it is due and Patrick definitely deserves it.

Keep up the good work my friend!
