Did I pick a fight?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,
As some of you maybe aware, I left a post about attempting to reach out to a former friend who now feels that I am dead to her. I had decided to try and sell her some AVON by putting her on the list that she could read herself recently. This was since I still had her e-mail on hand and I had put her on the list to see if she would want anything and to see if she would be interested in sharing it with her friends and networks about AVON. I was not really interested to re-kindle anything since we are a very bad mix. This girl has not been a good friend and is one of those people who is too fragile and flaky to be around. She had happened to be on the list for a month or two now that I think about it. Yet, she did not bother to say anything but quietly removed herself from the list.

So I had attempted to write to her and mention about the networking in buying and selling since the ARMY has an array of ARMY wives who would would like that. I then told her how I was doing as well as talk about another friend of mine who she used to date. I then said, "Let me know how you are doing."

She wrote back very angry with a threatening tone that I rejected her during a very rough time in her life and how she needed me the most. She also said that we were not friends at this point and asked me not to contact her again in addition to her family.

In terms of my situation, did I pick a fight with her?

Nah. She's just bitter for whatever reason. Some people like to hold grudges no matter how much time has gone by

Good. I just did not want to be doing something that would get her upset like hinting a fight with the AVON stuff.

As for her writing that nasty letter in response, do you think she was picking a fight or just plain scaring me off?

I myself find that she was trying to pick a fight on her end when I attempted to reach out.

She specifically told you not to contact her again. So just leave her alone from now on.

I will just leave her alone. However, she does this all the time to people until she wants something and then it is
" I am so sorry that I hurt you. Let's start from scratch while I sweep this crap under the rug." (She does not really say that but that is what she says in so many words.

boy a lot of this sounds so familiar to me as a similar thing has happened to me-minor differences but similar-I was de-friended and after some mixed messages-and still I feel as though I am being punished still.

She's doing that because you let her.
You are the one who contacted her this time.
Why did you do that if you were "not really interested to re-kindle anything since we are a very bad mix."
Just ignore her if she contact you next time if you really want nothing to do with her. As simple as that.

She punishes everyone and stays mad at them for stupid reasons. For instance, she picks on people who get on her nerves and acts very hostile with them. I saw her do it openly on FB on someone else's wall when someone tried to say hi to her when she was in the middle of another conversation in the comment section.

She said "HEY, LEAVE ME ALONE." All of a sudden the convo went right to her.

Actually, I did not write to her before putting her on the list. It was only after she unsubscribed that I wrote back and attempted to explain the situation to be direct and honest with her.

As for the AVON, I am getting started and I am trying to find the best solution to selling AVON. So far the best one would be to start out by ordering a few products and then having someone on E-bay sell them for me. Then the person can do direct delivery. That way I could start a relationship. I also found that using free online classifieds with pictures will draw them in.

Actually, what a rep can do is purchase a bunch of things at a discounted price and then pay for them. After that, they often have the option of selling the items at their own price. This as long as the products are bought and paid for.

With Ebay, I saw that someone else was trying to sell one of the more popular products in terms of skin care. I looked and it said that you could request to sell it for you. However, it looks like EBAY wants me to set up and auctioning system.

You can also sell the items at garage sales and flea markets again as long as the things you owned are paid for by you. Then you can re-sell and have some extra money.

As for trying to sell AVON items using EBAY as way to advertise that you are an independent sales rep.

However, as for future ways to look for costumers to subscribe I think I will just send one invite out on evite. If I do not hear anything or get a no. I will not bother.
