What Happens When a Consultant Gives Up on Getting Shows?

In summary, the person who signed to be a consultant never successfully has a show and gives up. They are not qualified, they have no sales. However, I would encourage her to at least do a catalog show each month until she has done 4.

A person who signed to be a consultant never successfully has a show and gives up? I don't want to use the term kit-napper because this person had seriously tried to get shows going and it just hasn't been working out. They are not qualified, they have no sales.

TIA
 
Nothing happens. She tried.. it didn't work out.
 
Nothing.

But I would encourage her to at least do a catalog show each month until she has done 4. I have a person who was SOOO excited too and did nothing. I encouraged her to do this and even gave her lots of ideas on how she could but she has done nothing. ...a kit napper by any other name...

Seems like nobody even wants to do a catalog show. Still working on ideas though. Thanks!
 
She can do the catalog show herself.

Yes, but nobody seems to even want to place an order. I really don't know what is going on... I can try investigating further but maybe it's just not meant to be.
 
What happened toAll the bookings she had when she signed? Did she not have "confirmed solid bookings"?

Only reason I ask, is because I personally have a recruit who is having a difficult time as well, and looking back, I now realize that this was/is her case.

There were two that we thought were solid bookings but both bailed and the grand opening show bombed... even with all the invites sent the only people that showed were me and the parents.
 
Going forwardI'm going to make sure they have at least 5 solid bookings before they sign.

I hear ya and hopefully not parents that say "why would you want to buy THAT" during the show (even if we were the only ones there, the practice was needed)

This is interesting to me, because I had a tough time getting going when I started. Before I signed, I told my recruiter I wanted to wait until I checked with my friends to see if they'd be willing to host some shows to get me started. She said not to worry about it, just sign up. And yes, I had to enter names and dates of my first 4 shows when signing, but she said just to guesstimate. I think she was overly optimistic because she had met several of my friends the year before when I hosted a show and she was my consultant. But it turns out the ones who booked a year before weren't interested in hosting again, even to help me out. I eventually twisted a few other arms and got my first bookings. So I've vowed that when working with potential recruits to make sure they have confirmed bookings first. Plus this saves valuable time during the first 30 days that they could be doing shows instead of looking for bookings.

I agree with you and the funny thing is, I was the opposite with my recruit, I said are you sure these people will book, there is no rush to get started if they won't host for you...
