I gotta tell you. The level of IQ’s and Industry knowledge with the mobile advertising Network space, is abundantly and alarmingly – low. I mean like real low. As in, I’m now not only wondering where the fuck they find these people, but I’ve now moved into the thoughts of – Who the fuck is running this mobile ad network? That says it all. Whoever is running it is hiring fucking morons.
Please stop. You’re the only one not realizing how detrimental that is, not only to your Brand but to your personal image as well.
Then again, if it was for the hordes of ding-dongs, I guess we wouldn’t have much of an inspiration to build iMobiTrax. Then again, it’s much more than just a mobile ad tracker. In it’s simplest form, that’s what it is, but it’s way past that.
The point is. Here’s how to deal with an Idiotic Mobile Ad Network Rep that seems to be abundantly infiltrating the Industry at lightning speeds.
1. Truly acknowledge, they are indeed – and Idiot.
2. Try to get them to acknowledge how naive and full of shit they really are. Most won’t but some will. The ones who will, you can almost train them through the entire process of buying loads of traffic off them, for dirt cheap prices. These are great connections for your mobile advertising business. I find that when they get fired for doing shady shit, when they move companies, they always remember good ole Ruck n Ryan, and make an introduction for us.
3. Go above them if you have to. Sometimes it’s necessary. The Ad Rep might be acting like a “poser” but I’m sure his boss knows just how full of shit he really is and highly unlikely to screw up this relationship. If they do however, just run away. They’re too fucking stupid to even waste your thoughts on.
4. Social Media – Almost every mobile ad network I know has a social media account or profile somewhere. Typically – Twitter or LinkedIn. Don’t be afraid to publicly call them out. I recently got some great service from a new APAC Mobile Ad Network from mentioning their company name in one of my LinkedIn status updates where I took a shit over their account manager they assigned me.
5. Assert Authority – Let’s face it. No ego, No boasting. We know who is buying lots of mobile advertising in the space. We know this because not only do we teach it here at the Grind, we are carrying the majority of top mobile client relationships at Revived Media as well as fueling over 20+ Mobile Ad Networks inventory with CPA offers. Let’s not forget iMobiTrax – this was a real game changer here. We knew we what we were spending and we knew other mobile affiliates weren’t even close to spending what we were daily, weekly, monthly on mobile ads. That’s why we built iMobiTrax – for the serious, not the half-wits. Use that to your advantage when approaching mobile ad network Reps. Tell them what you are looking for in traffic, operating systems, carriers, etc…
If all else fails, you are likely working with us at Revived Media anyway. You know to just shoot me a message of the mobile ad network in question and we’ll get them in shape for ya quick.
