Usually it's either a problem with the program or your traffic. A rep can't magically fix that stuff and these days they are usually sales people more so than experienced webmasters.

There might be a few good reps out there who are the exception and who can teach a few tricks to the average webmaster but those are few and far between. Especially those who would bother with a struggling small affiliate sending 200 uniques a day. More often than not you'll just get told to promote one of their other site instead or to put up some holiday promo banners or something like that.

Then in some cases where the program is known to be shady or recently turned shady and you've decided to keep sending traffic for whatever reason you might be better off staying under the radar so to speak. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a story or two about this.
