Haha! I got the same reaction when I asked a BIG feed provider if I could try their feeds on my Video AEN sites. I was willing to make a rather large investment for the first month to see what kind of bandwidth that I would use. But they refused to experiment with me to see if it was a viable option.
Let's compare notes.
Geez I hope that it wasn't us over here at PlugInFeeds that has turn anyone down?!
Nope... wasn't you.Originally Posted by TopBucks_Juan
can't afford their feeds? what kind of marketing is that?!?!?!
most feed providers try and convince me that we CAN afford their feeds...
Cool, I know I would never turn anyone down like that.Originally Posted by Xstr8guy
And you know what is strange? Their feeds aren't priced higher than other programs. I think their marketing guy is a bit of a snob, that's all.
Come to think of it, he may not be the marketing guy but someone higher up... if you know what I mean. Maybe they NEED a marketing guy or perhaps they just don't want to grow the program.
Jeez, I'm quoting myself, .Originally Posted by Xstr8guy
What's really fucked up... they are marketing feeds in partnership with several other producers. I wonder if these other companies know that this particular feed provider is limiting their potential growth?
Lee - I am sorry to hear that. I always believed our industry had some truly arrogant folk 'workin' it and that reply confirms it.
If it was merely one of their sales reps that provided you with that answer, and you really want their product/feeds, I'd suggest forwarding the reply to the owners... I am sure they would love a chuckle before the festive season, and too hand out some holiday cheer, on a pink piece of paper.
Oh I do wish the bigger forums maintained a 'Shit List' section, like some of the small fries have.
Switch on over to us! You can afford our feeds

Pay attention clowns (referring to whomever provided Lee with th@ stupid asshat response) ... grab your notepad and pencil and take notes on how to properly sell feeds.
Ok, so fess up - who had the stupidity and balls to say that you can't afford them?
Ha! It sounds like someone only did half the sales course.
It's great to pre-empt and inoculate against "actually, you know what, they're great feeds but I just don't wanna spend that much..." but it sounds like his clumsy strategy lost him the sale anyway. :wacko:
You know, I can understand why I was rejected... it was something outside the box for them. I guess they just didn't want to try something different.
But to turn down Lee who is just starting a potentially big affiliate program... that's just plain dumb. What on earth would make them think that he couldn't afford them? Heck, I bet they have even inquired about advertising on this board.
