An answer to some of our questions...

>I am writing in regards to the new system. I am sure that many of the other agents are as well, but being that I would like an answer rather than play the wait and see game, here I am. My name is Melissa Goodman, bzzagent missmissylette. I have been an agent for just over a year and I love it! I love being able to try products and to have my voice heard.

>I joined bzzagent with the knowledge that I would try something and tell your company what I think of it, along with the opinions of those I talked to. The "potential" other agents that are walking my town, or calling my phone. Iam not in it for the "freebies" as some call it. I am in it to have my voice heard. I am loud, I am proud and I want to be heard.

>I do feel a little discouraged at the moment. I do know that the company has just switched over and that you guys are working out the kinks and fixing it all up still. I have noticed the little changes that have occurred since the changeover. My main concern though is my time on the site.

>I currently have no campaign to turn in any reports. I just did my 3 frogs, so I have moved up a honeycomb. Now, my status says to just wait and see. Well, that is what I am doing. I am, by nature, a very patient person. I am a mother to a toddler that I am trying to potty train. Ask any parent, (if you are not one yourself) and you will hear them agree (at least those that weren't lucky that their kid just took to the potty) that you need to be patient. I am waiting for my next campaign. I do understand that you have to wait for one to be available and only release it as agreed per companies.
>
>My gripe is what can I do in the meantime? Before the changeover, I was an agent that went to the frogpond every night. I browsed the sites, and put in my opinion. I go in now, but can not do anything, because from what I understand, because I already did 3 this month, it will not count towards my participation.

>Very discouraging for an agent that loves the company. I already did my 3 frogs and it is June 13th... still 2 more weeks before the month ends. I would hate to sit here and watch some frogs leap away, when i could have caught them and put them on the lily pad. so to speak. I do know that some frogs "expire" and then you can no longer earn credit for them.

>Again, I am an agent that loves this company. I just hope that I can get an answer as to how I can continue providing WOM in between campaigns.

>Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that everyone at the hive has a wonderful weekend!

Hi Melissa,

Thanks for your email. We do understand your concerns about the new system. While you are certainly still free to participate in Frogpond this month (and we would love for you to do so!) you are correct in the fact that it will not count towards your honeycombs or improving your Status. However, everyone is in the same boat, so people will not be whizzing by you or anything like that. We know that it is very different from the old system, but we would encourage you to spend some time with the new system and we hope you will come to love it!

Thanks,

Jake
BzzAgent
