Recruiting Faux Pas

February 20, 2007 Filed under: Just For Laughs — Kellie AFP @ 8:00 am

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
Business Development
tel: 714-861-4041 x.224
ClickXchange.com 

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. ;)

  1. And, interestingly enough, her commercial message isn’t CAN-SPAM compliant itself… would you work with a network that isn’t CAN-SPAM compliant with it’s own messages if you did have an offer?
