Host can't get a single order

I'm so bummed. I have this friend in another state who was SO excited about PC. She really wanted to do a catty show for me, but also for her. She was really excited to get cookware at 60% off. I sent her a host packet and host coached her. I gave her lots of ideas on things to say and what to point out to people, because last week she said she was struggling and didn't have any luck so far.

So I just got this e-mail from her:

Well, girl I guess I REALLY suck at selling Pampered Chef. I don't have ANY orders. Which really bums me out, everyone kept on saying maybe next month after we recoup from school shopping and blah blah blah. I am so sorry. Don't know what to tell you besides I am sorry.

I just don't know really anything else I can say or do. I sent out e-mails for her, gave her catty's w/ small online ordering instructions hand-outs so she can have those at her husband's work.

I strike out every time I try to call her, I always get her machine. So we've been doing most of this communication through e-mail, and live private chatting on FB.

What do I do? Call it a loss?

I just had a friend in ID that could only get 1 order. it really bums ya out, I know, but keep trying others!

This is my one and only show for August. I'm so bummed. My sister was thinking about doing one so she could get a skillet. Then decided to look into Calphalon's warranty on her damaged one. Get this...she has to mail back the pan and then they assess what's wrong w/ it and if they'll replace it! So....she's thinking a few months from now maybe she'll host something.

Well, at least I have September bookings! :)

I think this is the nature of the "catalog show" beast. Sometimes, you find someone who does really well, and sometimes they flop!
