I don’t know about you, but I am starting to get really excited about the Affiliate Summit. This will be my first time going to and Affiliate Summit and I am hoping to get the chance to meet…well… anyone who wants to meet. From what I have heard, the Affiliate Summit is amazing for networking – and since building a bigger network was one of my resolutions for 2007, I am hoping you all can help me out.

But yesterday I realized that my chances of meeting up with some of you is slightly diminished because I work for a “merchant” (P.S. – I hate that term). I think that stinks, but after meeting a number of affiliate managers in my career, I totally understand why. By nature, I try to avoid pushy, annoying people - and sadly a lot of (short-lived) affiliate managers are both pushy and annoying. No good.

So that brings me to my promise…

If you meet up with me at the Affiliate Summit I promise I will not try to sell you on the InsureMe affiliate program unless you want me to.*

Seriously. It might sound cheesy, but I would much rather build a solid relationships with a person than hunt down and pester super-affiliates for three days. I just want to meet some of great people at the Summit. Hopefully you will be one of them. So if you want to meet up, drop me a line at jomdahl(at)insureme(dot)com or stop by the InsureMe booth (#214).

* A quick warning, I will be working at the InsureMe booth and things might be a bit more “salesy” in the expo hall – but don’t worry, I’m not much of a salesman anyway :)
