Q&A for existing users
Our mission at Retortal is to open up social media to as many Direct Selling Representatives as possible and as a result we provide the .social platform to many different organizations.
Our 1.0 tool has revolutionized the way Reps do social media across the world but tends to appeal more to Reps with advanced Social Media skills who have a strong knowledge of social media strategies.
Our 2.0 tool has therefore been adapted to include a brand new simple to use content gallery which appeals to a far wider number of Reps : the more advanced ‘suggested posts’ tool is now part of the pro package.
This dual pronged approach to supporting users at all levels has proved to be extremely successful in other organizations and this will also benefit you (and you team if applicable)
Is there a cost to use Avon Social 2.0?
