I got an email from a (enter name of other direct sales company) rep who I had been in put in contact with by a past host years ago who said this gal runs a fun ladies networking group. After sending out my March newsletter, she emailed me asking if I wouldn't mind coming to one of her company's meetings because she needed some faces to use to do before and after pics for her portfolio for her business.
I thought, "Sure...as a woman in DS, I am always happy to help out other women in DS" ...right? So we went back & forth for a while realizing her meeting dates don't work for my schedule. So this week she suggests she should just come to my house to do my before and after shots - and she'll give me a free lipstick for my time. I told her she didn't need to give me anythign free for my time, as I am happy to help another direct sales woman.
Today she comes over. She's in the biz 11 years...and she doesn't really do up my face...she put me thru an entire (enter name of her company) show/sales pitch...from cleansers to make-up to hand scrubs, perfumes etc. I didn't even give her the chance to start any recruiting crap with me - told her how completely devoted I am to PC...she ends by asking me what I would like to get today.
I was led to believe I was just going to be helping her out by letting her do my face and take before and after shots.
I called my friend who used to be a director with this same company and she said "You are so vaive - you've been railroaded" LOL This is what they are trained to say/do to get into your home or get you to a meeting of theirs.
I feel insulted.
I ended up buying $15 worth of stuff because I felt bad...but sheesh!!!!
