I was just curious to see what you folks thought about this, if an affiliate rep is wworking for a program, do you expect them to have some current working knowledge of the free site, aen/avs or tgp aspect of the business or, would you expect them to just be able to 'tell' you about stuff without actually having done it in a while?

I know for me that when i go to an affiliate rep with an issue i want them to have some kind of basic understanding of what is going on in the industry currently, not what understanding they had 3 or 4 years ago, would you say that was a fair expecation to have of an affiliate rep?

I mean seriously, if someone is supposed to be helping affiliates, shouldnt they at least know what type of thing currently sells on a range of traffic sources?
