I am having a tough time finding and contacting individual super affiliates to push our exclusive offer. I have had our sales guys reach out to almost every affiliate network out there and they are doing well with sales, but I really want to hit up the super affiliates directly to bring them aboard.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to reach out straight to the guys at home who are doing the real work? Our offer is killing it on FB, email and native, but we seem to be missing the big affiliates.
Any help would be appreciated.

A few different ways:
1. Look up your keywords on Google and find top-ranking sites that are using affiliate links in their blogs
2. Look up your keywords on Youtube and contact the top channel owners that talk about similar products, and ask them to review/promote yours.
3. Find facebook groups that are in your niche and contact the owners
4. Go to conferences, setup a booth and talk to affiliates there
5. Talk to your affiliate managers and ask them if they'd like to 'consult' for your company for 5k/month or whatever, in exchange for putting you directly in touch with big affiliates.
Hope that helps
This is one of the most challenging parts when you are an advertiser product owner. johnaff has a good list above. It really comes down to detective work (spy tools can help make this easier). It never hurts to post some informative information in various groups and forums so potential super affiliates see that you aren't just a huckster trying to get pubs to run your product ( which looks to be a box doing something similiar to kodi).
Potential pubs would also want to know what kind of epc your offer and creatives are making, what geos are working best and any other information you can provide so when they do test your offer, they're going to come close to breaking even or show a slight profit, not go totally in the tank.
nobody is going to accept when the domain in your friend request is down / incorrect
"chat with affiliate marketing" is a little vague, from the domain I can see you are trying to push an offer so it might help to be more specific.

Ran a few offers like this before.... the did decently
Best tip and hardest to execute on:
Become somebody in the industry.
There's enough risk in the industry already, why would people want to work with a random unknown without any references from his personal network? Absolutely not worth the risk. Being active on STM can certainly help, just don't start pitching your product all the time. Provide value, show your business and marketing prowess.
You need to give people a compelling reason why they should speak with you
Reason to Speak = (Credibility x Benefit) / (Time x Risk)
I imagine super affiliates all have their trusted contacts with whom they've cultivated strong relationships over years, just jumping in with an offer isn't very likely to work.
It's going to have to be one hell of an offer / sales pitch to catch their attention. Investing your time into networking seems like the best course of action, particularly at events & conferences.
THanks for the great advice
Which networks have this offer direct right now?
Most superaffliates are on STM and go the major conferences.
I suggest you go to Affiliate World Asia https://affiliateworldconferences.com/asia/ and the events there.
The STM crew is renting out a private island after the conference which will be for the very biggest of the superaffiliates. https://www.facebook.com/events/329551660839938/ If you sponsor an event like that, this will put you in front of the biggest affiliates in the world, and give you the credibility you may need for them to start running your offer.
