I see that TiVo has just hired a new chief marking officer who has worked at Herbalife, a network marketing company. Not that I think TiVo should go Multi Level Marketing, but I’ve long thought that they should compensate individuals who go around evangelizing TiVo. A good affiliate program (not the BS rewards program they have now — I’m talking cash money!) might do wonders for their sales. TiVo is an ideal product for such programs because you really need a demonstration by a TiVo owner to truly understand the benefits of a TiVo. But TiVo shouldn’t expect us to sell their product for free.
Hopefully this new marketing chief will make the necessary changes.
reading this site is what made me want to get a TiVo once I move. So yeah, they owe you a nickel.
As long as I don’t have to wear a large button that reads “Ask me about TiVo!”
