This program needs some serious revamping. I have led over 20 people individually to purchase Logos library base packages and thousands of dollars of other books while I have been attending seminary. One seminary professor has made Logos mandatory for all his expository preaching students because of my sheer persistence in working beyond his false impressions about "bible software".
I was excited to sign up for the ambassador program because the operators at Logos told me about the ability to offer the same discounts as the website as well as receive book credit for these purchases. The prospect could not be a better option for a seminary student! However, only after these purchases was I then told that I could not receive book credit if they are students using the academic discount. To which I then have to ask, do my efforts in seminary deserve nothing? After the countless hours I've spent training these students in all the wonderful benefits of having their own library and never needing to scrap for library resources and all the benefits from the features of the program itself, do I deserve no reward?
I understand the ins and outs of running a business and how the company needs to make money. With two degrees in business, I'm well aware of that fact. I also understand that the academic program is the deepest discount possible for people seeking an education. Got it. Logos will not go broke by rewarding book credit to those who are working hard to sell thousands of dollars worth of their product in seminaries and churches. Logos has made, and will continue to make a lot of money from my efforts. Literally tens of thousands of dollars (no exaggeration) have been generated in sales for their company because of guys like me. I don't even request to get paid in real dollars like any other salesman. Book credit in this instance is the right thing to do. This ambassador program NEEDS to change.
I will never stop recommending the software because it's the right thing to do for students. I will never stop leading people, professors, students, church members, and librarians (they are the hardest ones to deal with) to Logos' website, products, and services because it is the right thing to do. I cannot possibly be the only one in this boat and it is simply wrong to deny simple book credit to people who work this hard to promote, sell, and train for Logos.
All I ask of anyone is to do the right thing. Do the right thing Logos: revamp this program.
