As mentioned it is a matter of trust and I am comfortable that the Adult Alchemy affiliates I deal with trust me.
It truly is a double edge sword, depending on who you talk to they either want an affiliate manager that knows everything or one that won't be deemed as competition.

I look at it this way, I promote the program I work for, it would be disengenous of me to tell other people how great the program is if I haven't been using it myself. It gives me the opportunity to learn and then to help others based on what I have learned.

Basically what Trixxxia said is dead on..."Reps shouldn't be working against the hand that ultimately is helping the hand that feeds you."
