Jeff Molander did a survey of affiliate managers and what they want and need. The questions are loaded and seem like market research for some new idea, but I’m not sure that’s the case. That’s just how it sounds to me.

Here is some of the feedback Jeff got from the survey: “Affiliate Managers Speak Out on Their Needs“
Here are a few of the questions Jeff asked in his original post and survey:
As an affiliate manager, do you want…
- Better recognition and respect internally among your superiors?
- Better tools to do your job?
- More autonomy — to be allowed by the boss to “get creative” occasionally, try something new?
- More budget to foster creativity?
- A better compensation structure?
- A place where I can go to learn from respected experts first, party second?
- A trusted, “go-to” resource on performance-based marketing of all flavors that’s up-to-date?
- Less whiners and negativity in our business — more doers, risk-takers and brotherhood?

So check out some of the responses he received over at Revenews and he says he’ll be sharing the complete survey results soon.
