POSITIVES
– number of affiliate marketers continues to grow
– opportunity for us to meet affiliates, merchants and colleagues face to face
– parties and gatherings help you get away from the business end of things and allow everyone to grow friendships.
– Potential clients who come from colleague or partner referrals. It is a great feeling to know that people appreciate our efforts.
– several speakers at the sessions were very knowledgable and informative.
– Coming away from Vegas up $140 🙂
NEGATIVES
– Do we really need this many CPA networks?! My goodness.
– Internet and Cell service at Starbucks and throughout the hotel was terrible
– People not showing up for scheduled meetings and not notifying us ahead of time. UGH.
We look forward to connecting with all the new contacts over the coming weeks and following up with those who we already work with to make 2010 even better than 2009.
