Recruiting Faux Pas
I got an email the other day with the Subject “Follow Up”.
The contents of the email (in it’s entirety) were:
Hello,
I am interested in promoting your affiliate program through ClickXchange.
Would you consider working with us?
Best Regards,
Amanda Warman

First of all, I’ve never had any discussions at all with ClickXchange, so I’m not sure how this can be a follow up.
But most importantly, I don’t have an affiliate program. So I’d have to say, no. I’ll probably not consider working with ClickXchange to promote my nonexistent affiliate program.
When will people start to learn to at least research a little bit before they send an email? The only benefit from that email was to give me a giggle. And to wonder how effective their promotion would be if I did have one.
