Here Is My Frustration...i Have a Lady Who Has a Catalog Show

Here is my frustration...

I have a lady who has a catalog show going on...for a month now! Why because every time I called her she gave me some excuse about not being able to get orders. I really couldnt say no because she was one of my first four at the time.

She called me one day out of the blue and said I need to sign up. We got all the way to where I just needed her CC#s and click on submit. She had to take another phone call and said she would call me back. She has not called me back. I've been calling her over and over again. She wont return my phone calls. I keep getting her answering machine. I've about had it with her. My trainer said not to give up on her. I'm at the point where I just want my catalogs returned and the items I gave to her for her catalog show.

What do you think I should do?

That is what I was thinking.

Plus, you may not get the catalogs back unless you specify when you hand them out. I let all my hosts & customers have the catalogs.

I meant the catalogs. I gave her 10 for her catalog show. She was my very first catalog show.

Consider it a lesson learned and chalk it up to experience. You'll likely not get those catalogs back. Next time give out WAY less.

I agree. The most I give out is 3 catalogs, and that's only when I know the person works in a very large office. Otherwise, I give out 2, one for the host to mark up for herself (I figure most people are like me, they mark up their catalogs of what they want then select from there), and one to show around.

I think I'd make monthly calls to her, just one a month. This is just to remind her that you are there when she's ready.

I usually give 3 catalogs for cooking shows and 4 for catalog shows. I ask hosts to tell their friends that they need the book back by ____ so they can share it with the next person and to NEVER give away the last book. Most are fine with it but some want a few more and I do get them more if they like.

I tell them that they can give the catalogs to whoever wants them after the show and to please not throw them away - ever. If they don't want them anymore I suggest they leave them at the beauty parlor, doctor's office, etc. Most say they will...

1. What is a catalog show?

2. How do I host a catalog show?

3. Can I earn rewards or free products as a hostess for a catalog show?

4. How long does a catalog show last?

5. Can I still place an order after the catalog show has ended?
