Can Caroline still host a Pampered Chef party before moving to Idaho?

In summary, this lady from France responded to Jessica's offer to be a consultant and said that she can't do it because her husband has to move to Idaho soon. Caroline offered to host a party for her instead, which Jessica said she would consider.

At a show on 9/30, this lady put on her drawing slip "maybe" for both starting a business and having a show. She is from France and now lives in the same town I do. She's probably about 25-30. I wrote her about meeting to give her more info on both a party and the business. She responded with this:

Hi Jessica!

I really enjoyed the party and at the time I thought that would be something great to get involved into!
I still do!
However some things have come up, my husband learned a few days ago that we'll have to move to Idaho in 2-3 months for his work.
So right now I can't commit in anything like being a Pampered Chef consultant or building a network in the Dells area.

Thank you for the offer, maybe I'll be able go to another Pampered Chef party before we have to move!!

What should I write back? Usually when I hear an excuse, I see it being just an excuse and the person doesn't want to hurt my feelings. But it sounds like she actually means what she says here.

I would just thank her for responding and wish her luck in her move. Ask her if you can keep her on her email list and notify her of new consultant incentives. Then let her know that she can contact you at any time if she ever has any questions about the business.
 
Don't write, call her! Tell her this is a GREAT time to start. She can build up her clientele in the currect area, have some parties, then line up some catalog parties to help her through the move. You can still provide support via email or on the phone. You'll set her up with a Hospitality cluster when she gets there so she can have some local support too. Tell her the next 2-3 months is the busiest time of the year and she wouldn't want to miss out on that! Plus if she signs by Oct 20, she'll get her choice of 2 pieces of stoneware if she submits $1,000 in her first 30 days...when right now with the buying season , she can. Ask her...how would you like to get the Deep Covered Baker and about stone for free, just for signing up now. Plus, the clientele she builds in the current area, she can still have periodic catalog parties, etc!
 
Ditto what Ginny said.
If she still says no I would invite her to Cluster meetings so she can test ride us and see what we are about.
Good luck!
 
if she is serious about not wanting the biz right now, i would then ask if she would like to host that party she has talked about going to.
