Yeah, you are right, sometimes I get emails in my mailbox, and instead of trying to convince me to click on their Links, they make me delete them forever even I often unsubscribed them, because of how they present themselves so proudly humiliating others.

Wow, I can’t believe the company thinks it is ok that their affiliate manager is talking to their affiliates that way. Very strange.

Maybe they haven’t been paying their “brass tax” and have to make lots of money today to repay the Brass Tax Man 😉

I am amazed. Michael was just reading his email and mentioned xxx company is up to their latest promo exactly when I read Nicole’s tweet. I said does it happen to say and read the excerpt from the email at Nicole’s blog to him. Yep, sure enough. When I pressed further he’s like I don’t know – he marked it as spam and moved on. Not a very favorable response and I can’t be positive but probably not one xxx company is looking for. Un-beeliev-able!

Wow I think everyone has said everything you can about this. I guess that forgot that money isn’t everything to some people? :S

In reply to Nicole. Well thank you but no thank you! I know this is an employee/assistant but, if this is how the owner teaches I suspect they don't have many happy customers either. Direct and to the point is totally different from whatever you want to call that email they sent. Me, I call it out and out disrespectful and RUDE!

Good grief! Sounds like ‘bootcamp’ tactics. I’d boot them in their ‘computer butts’. 😛

You have got to be kidding me!!!
An email like this would make me not ever want to promote any of their stuff ever again.

It baffles me how anyone would even come up with the idea to write an email like this. They either must have had a really bad day or they are desperate for attention. Either way, not a good fit for my readers.

Thanks for respecting your readers – even if this company didn’t.

Reminds me of the time I unsubscribed from another marketer’s list because he said “I command you to..” (and he wasn’t joking.)
