Affiliate marketing is evolving rapidly, and in 2025, it's transforming from a traditional channel into a crucial payment mechanism and amplifier for other marketing efforts. In this episode, we're diving deep with affiliate expert Lee-Ann Johnston, who shares insights on what's working in affiliate marketing and what isn't. We discuss the importance of partnerships and the strategic approach needed to leverage affiliate programs effectively for your eCommerce store. Lee-Ann emphasizes that it's not just about throwing money at affiliates; it requires a thoughtful strategy and relationship management to avoid costly mistakes. As we explore the landscape of affiliate marketing, listeners will gain clarity on how to navigate this changing terrain and make informed decisions that can lead to greater success.As we dive deeper into the future of affiliate marketing with Lee-Ann Johnston, it's clear that 2025 is set to reshape how businesses approach partnerships. Gone are the days when affiliate marketing was merely about driving traffic through links. Now, it's about creating a comprehensive ecosystem where affiliates act as integral partners in the marketing strategy. Lee-Ann explains that affiliate marketing is shifting towards a 'partnership economy'—an environment where different forms of collaborations, from influencers to traditional affiliates, all play a role in promoting products and services. This change signifies that businesses must adapt their strategies to incorporate various types of partnerships and understand the unique needs of each.Lee-Ann emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear purpose before launching an affiliate program. She suggests that businesses should evaluate their readiness and the potential return on investment. This reflection is crucial, especially considering that many companies have previously launched affiliate initiatives without the necessary groundwork and ended up with disappointing results. The key takeaway here is that affiliate marketing isn't a one-size-fits-all solution; it requires a tailored approach that considers the specific goals and resources of the business.Throughout the episode, Lee-Ann also discusses the critical shift towards performance-based payment structures, which not only incentivize affiliates but also align their efforts with the business's success. By understanding that affiliates aren't just external traffic sources but actual partners in growth, marketers can foster more sustainable and beneficial relationships that ultimately lead to better outcomes. Listeners will gain insights into how to effectively manage these partnerships, the importance of communication and transparency, and how to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about succeeding in the affiliate marketing space in 2025.Takeaways: Affiliate marketing has evolved into more than just a channel; it's a payment mechanism and a vital amplifier for existing marketing efforts. In 2025, successful affiliate marketing strategies will require a clear understanding of objectives and strong relationship management with partners. Investing in affiliate marketing is not free; it requires time, money, and resources to build effective partnerships and manage them successfully. The partnerships economy is growing, integrating influencers and customer advocacy into affiliate marketing strategies for better reach and engagement. Businesses must understand when to launch an affiliate program and ensure they have the necessary expertise to manage it effectively and responsibly. Affiliate marketing is a long-term investment that requires strategic planning and ongoing optimization to truly succeed. Find the notes here: https://keepopt.com/248

Imagine this: being so meticulous in your candidate screening process invites an unexpected face-to-face investigation from Federal Agents. That is what our special guest, Lee Ann Howard, had to go through when starting as a recruiter in her early 20s. The secret to her 'suspicious' expertise? Simply asking the right questions and listening carefully to candidates.   Lee Ann is the visionary Founder of Howard & O'Brien Executive Search. With a keen eye for identifying top talent in senior management roles and a specialization in HR, finance, and sales and marketing functions, Lee Ann stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of executive search.   You will surely enjoy Lee Ann's insights on how to build a continuous pipeline of senior management roles for your clients and what it takes to have long-lasting strategic client relationships.   Episode Outline and Highlights 01:18 How Lee Ann left broadcasting to get into recruitment.  05:05 What made Lee Ann stand out in her early years; Her astonishing story of why she had to be investigated by the government because of her recruitment activities. 12:05 Emphasizing learning and development. 20:04 From corporate to executive search - Lee Ann shares her transition.  27:15 Discussion on the board recruiting business model of Howard & O'Brien. 45:48 Lee Ann explains their Conversation with the Board program. 48:38 Discussion on their Reverse Placement program. 51:17 How to cultivate long-term strategic client relationships. 57:30 Making it a family business - how Lee Ann's children eventually joined her in the business.   Unexpected Government Investigation for Doing a Thorough Job Lee Ann shared an astonishing story about being investigated by federal agents because of their extensive knowledge of security-cleared roles and positions.    “I ended up getting investigated by the government because they thought I was a spy because I knew too much … I literally got visited. I was visited by the government. It was unbelievable because I was sitting in my office and the receptionist came back and they said, there's somebody here from the government to see you. And I'm like, I've paid my taxes because that's the only thing I thought I could possibly do wrong. And I got taken into a conference room and they said, we believe you know too much about what's happening. And I'm like, no, I'm not a spy. I don't work for Russia.”   This made her realize that she was probably doing something right if she was getting information that other people were not getting in their industry. Indeed she was! Asking the right questions, and being meticulous in her job, contributed highly in her success as a recruiter and later on as a recruitment business owner. Some of the takeaways on Lee Ann's success factors are as follows:   Instinctive Recruiting Ability Curiosity and Continuous Learning  Strong Relationship Building Commitment to Hard Work Personalized Approach  Client and Candidate Engagement Being Not Focused on Sales, But on Relationships    Which of the above success factors resonate most with you as a recruiter or business owner? Board Recruiting, Conversation with the Board, and Reverse Placement Programs Lee Ann also discussed key strategies that they implement in Howard & O'Brien with the focus of providing a continuous stream of C-level talents to their clients. The three main programs she discussed are Board Recruiting, Conversation with the Board, and Reverse Placement. Below are the key concepts of the programs:   Board Recruiting Board recruiting is the process of identifying and placing individuals in board positions for organizations. Unlike traditional executive search, it involves adding responsibilities rather than replacing someone. The process includes:   Engaging with CEOs, board chairs, or governance committees to define the board's needs. Creating a strategic long-term plan for board composition. Ensuring cultural fit and alignment with the company's strategic direction.   Conversation with the Board This is a program aimed at increasing diversity and exposing more candidates—particularly women—to board opportunities. It was developed as a way to help executives, who may not see themselves as board material, realize their potential for board service. It involves:   Facilitating networking opportunities between potential board members and current board leaders. Encouraging companies to consider non-traditional candidates who bring valuable perspectives.   Reverse Placement Programs This is a specialized career development service for executives looking to join boards. It is either funded by companies or individuals and serves as a way for leaders to continue their professional growth. It provides:   Guidance on positioning oneself for board roles. Strategic networking with board leaders.   These programs put Lee Ann's team in a strategic position, providing them a long-term relationship-building with existing clients.    Cultivating Long-Term Strategic Relationships On this topic, Lee Ann summarized what can make you stand out with the following experience she had: “What makes you different is what you're trying to do. And I think it's the little things. There was a marketing person that I was interviewing for a job and she knew I'd just gotten a new puppy and she sent me this little assortment of stuff for my puppy. Now I still remember that because, I mean, she listened to what I was saying. It, you know, she probably spent $20 on it. But what an impact.”   It is indeed the little things you do. Some of the best practices that Lee Ann and her team have been doing over the years are as follows: Long-Term Value Over Transactions – They prioritize relationships rather than quick sales, consistently providing valuable insights, industry articles, and strategic advice.   Community Engagement – Each team member is involved in community initiatives, reinforcing their reputation as good corporate stewards and deepening trust with clients.   Personalized Touchpoints – They maintain relationships through handwritten thank-you notes, customized gifts (e.g., olive oil or cherry salsa), and small but meaningful gestures that make an impact.   Being Helpful Beyond Business – They go beyond recruitment by assisting clients in unexpected ways, like recommending a plumber and reinforcing their role as trusted advisors.   Their approach is centered on authenticity, generosity, and a long-term mindset, setting them apart from competitors. As Lee Ann concluded, “It is putting yourself second and putting others first.”   Lee Ann Howard Bio & Contact Info As Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Howard & O'Brien, Lee Ann Howard brings with her a passion for understanding people and dedication to following their journey in executive leadership. In her 25 years of connecting high-caliber candidates with her clients, she has solidified her reputation in driving quantifiable success for million and billion-dollar companies across North America.    Lee Ann leads a Women-Owned Business and carries this spirit into diversity, inclusion, and equitable placement strategies.    Lee Ann founded Conversations with the Board® in 2001 and continues to lead workshops for those who serve or have the desire to serve boards. She is currently on the board of the American Heart Association as Leadership Development Co-chair and past Board Chair as well as Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) Family Business Center Advisory Committee.

Lee Ann and her daughter, Allie, are known for their soothing color palettes and incredibly warm and inviting interiors, and believe in creating homes filled with meaningful furnishings and charming details that bring joy, comfort, and inspiration.

In 2016, Allie joined her mom, starting as a project manager, designer, and now, partner. She brings to the team a fresh, preppy, bohemian style, a welcomed thread to Lee Ann's timeless and classic sensibilities, and each approaches their work with both warmth and thoughtful attention to detail.

Jones Professor of Finance, specializes in empirical corporate finance, financial institutions and markets.

He was instrumental in launching Rice Business's undergraduate business major and previously served as the director of undergraduate programs. Together, with host Maya Pomroy '22, the Butlers share insights from their nearly three-decades-long academic journeys and personal lives. Lee Ann reflects on her passion for business law and the ethical challenges facing today's business leaders, while Alex highlights his findings in consumer finance. They also discuss the undergraduate business major at Rice, offer perspectives on teaching during uncertain times and explore how their partnership shapes their professional lives.Episode Guide:00:57 How The Butler's Met: A Love Story in a Bar01:38 Lee Ann's Journey from Litigator to Lecturer04:19 Alex's Path to Finance and Academia09:13 Launching the Undergraduate Business Program at Rice12:36 Teaching Experiences and Student Interactions15:20 Working Together as a Married Couple18:56 Alex's Research on Racial Disparities in Auto Loans23:32 Higher Interest Rates for Minorities26:20 Impact of Anti-Discrimination Policies28:39 Legal and Ethical Challenges in Business33:22 Teaching in Uncertain Times36:19 Future of Rice's Undergraduate Business Major & Rice Business42:46 Reflections and Words of WisdomOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On the ethical challenges that business leaders face today30:30: [Maya Pomroy]: What are some of the most critical legal or ethical challenges that business leaders face today? Because that's something that you're preparing this generation of leaders to tackle. 30:41: [Lee Ann Butler]: Well, I think the ethical challenges come every day, and probably the most difficult bit is when we just don't realize it's an ethical dilemma that's in front of us, right? And we tend to think of ourselves—everyone thinks of themselves as an ethical person: I don't need to worry about this because I'm a good person, and I will do the right thing. But when we take the time to actually systematically go through it in a logical way, I think not only what does my ethical framework tell me is right and wrong in the situation, but how might others view it? 'Cause not everyone—not everyone has the same framework as me or anyone else.Surprising lessons learned from being educators at Rice13:38 [Alex Butler] Several years ago, we ran an experimental course where faculty from four different functional areas got together, all of whom were going to teach their discipline, but along the theme of decision-making. And so we had someone from one group who's going to think about decision-making in teams, one-person decision-making, as students as far as how personal-psychological biases affect your decisions. One person doing game theory and I doing decision-making with data, so I learned a few things in that, one of which was. What a great place to work where someone can have this bonkers idea of let's come at decision-making from four different ways, all of us with our own strange perspectives, and deliver that as a course to the students and have the administration be like, yeah, man, let's do that. That sounds awesome.What makes Rice special from an educator's perspective08:35: It comes down to A: the students, right? That is my interaction. Most of the time, they are phenomenal. They are here to learn, and they have that kind of hunger that's amazing. I really enjoy teaching in the MBA program because they come with so much work experience, and I learn something every single class that I teach. Hopefully, they learn a lot from me, but I am absolutely learning a lot from them each time, too. But we also have wonderful support and administration here, which is not always the case at every school. But we have the whole package, which is just a joy to work here.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Lee Ann E.
