X Super Affiliate [Sold for $9M] | Affiliate Program Manager | AI in Marketing | 🚀✨

Looking to have a great affiliate program? It all starts with hiring the right affiliate manager! 🚀 I can't stress enough how crucial this hire is. Here's what you need to know: 1.    Skills matter, but personality is key 🧠💪 Look for a Swiss Army knife of a person - someone with marketing skills, an analytical mind, and a winning personality. They'll be the face of your program, so charm is a must! 2.    Internal vs. External hire 🏠🌍 Consider promoting from within if you've got a versatile team. But don't shy away from external hires, especially if you need specific affiliate experience. Sometimes, fresh eyes can be what's needed! 3.    Responsibilities are diverse 📊🤝 Your affiliate manager will be part marketer, part analyst, part relationship guru. They'll need to understand your program inside out, recruit affiliates, manage relationships, and keep everyone in sync. Remember, finding the right person might take time, but it's worth the effort. A great affiliate manager can turn your program from good to great! #AffiliateMarketing #AffiliateManager Pro Tip: As your program grows, consider developing a team of affiliate managers. I suggest planning for this if you are serious about having your affiliate program as being a major channel in your business!

Agree. This function is more critical than the CMO. Hiring these guys is tough—they usually don’t need work.
