Seem like only a few weeks ago I was in Las Vegas listening to the empowering key note speech from Michael Sanchez, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of ClubMom. Oh \u2026..wait, it was only a few weeks ago at the affiliatesummit in Las Vegas that we all listened intently to what Michael had to say.<\/span>We learnt how he motivates his kids, no really we did \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In a strange twist last week, ClubMom sent out an email to announce the closure of their affiliate program. The question is, he must have known about the impending decision to terminate their affiliate program and if not, wow that was fast. Or did he come to the summit knowing that the affiliate program was going to close? Did he give that great lecture about how to reward affiliates and the different kinds of rewards you should be giving, knowing that he would end up a few short weeks later leaving every one saying \u201cwhat happened, did ya see that?\u201d \u201cnope I blinked and missed it\u201d<\/p>\n

I learnt about clubmom a few years ago and there was a character called Shawn Collins running the affiliate program. I liked Shawn\u2019s style, like any enthusiastic affiliate manager keen to promote the company and build the program, I often wondered if Shawn ever actually slept or took holidays. The guy was a one man clubmom pr machine. I attribute a lot of the success of Clubmom\u2019s growth<\/a> down to Shawn and his affiliates. Yeah there were other people at the company that was party to making this a huge success, but a lot of it was down to Mr Collins, after all clubmom’s affy program is now known in the Uk, that’s 100% down to Shawn. Well done sunshine , you can now look back and say, \u201cyeah I had a hand in that, move along now…”<\/p>\n

As for Mr Sanchez’s empowering seach… well it’s a ll a bit of a damp squid now.<\/p>\n
