VENT Consultants who don't read the rules!!!Grrrrrrrrr:grumpy:I have a new consultant who needs to be led around like a 3 year old. I gave her the "what to do in your first month" list and went over it with her in person...and she STILL didn't get her debit or credit card so she could submit her first show. She submitted it with her mom's credit or debit card which was declined so it was put on hold. Now she needs to talk to me about it. She is intelligent, but she doesn't like to find out things for herself!!!Then I have another consultant who is very part time. I can understand that she might not know about the internet policies, and they are kind of complicated and/or easy to misinterpret. She had a kind of yard sale at her house this past weekend. She advertised it in Craigs List and put Pampered Chef in the description of things that were going to be there. She also had her address in the description. We get an email on Monday from Internet Violations asking her to take it down. Now, the sale is over and she is miffed that someone found out. I think she thinks I reported her (I didn't). This is the email conversation we are having right now (she likes to type in all caps, so this really isn't shouting) me: Jenny,The listing for this is still up, so you do need to take it down or delete the Pampered Chef part.her: HOW DO THEY NOW WHAT I AM SELLING?me: In the kit agreement you signed you said you wouldn't advertise online including putting Pampered Chef in any online profiles. Basically, because you advertised PC would be there, it was a violation.her: SO HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT I HAVE AN ON CRAIGS LIST?me: They have people who search as well as consultants who report people.her: RIGHT.me: Not sure what you mean by that.her: UNLESS SOMEONE I NEW, NEW I WAS A PAMPER CHEF REP MY ADD ON CRAIGSLIST HAS
VERY LITTLE INFO NOT EVEN MY NAME OR EMAIL ADDRESS.me: It has your address which the HO has. I didn't even know about it until I got the email from HO. If I did know about it, I would have come to you first because you might have not known about the regulation. Is that what you were thinking, that I sent it in? They have a dedicated "unit" (for lack of a better word) who make sure that the PC name isn't being abused (not what you did) or to make sure people are following the regs. There are people who get the products at a discount and then sell them on ebay for more than they are listed in the catalog and without a warranty. There are people who earn the products and sell them before they are available to the public which also makes them go up in price. There are lots of people who use the PC name when they are not PC consultants. It is in our best interest for HO to pursue those people. They also make sure that consultants know that they are violating the regs in case they don't know or understand them. I have been called on this because someone linked from their wedding site to my website without my permission. I had to ask them to take the link off. :yuck:First off, if I had reported it, I wouldn't have said other consultants do report listings like this. It had her (@#&$(#@& address!!! How hard would it be for HO to look up a consultant based on her address?!?!?!Thanks for listening.
