Please tell me what YOU would do.....
It's September 22. I just got an email from someone wanting a fundraiser for the 3Day Susan G Komen walk. The proceeds from the fund raiser have to be in Texas (we are in Georgia and you can't overnight) by October 22nd. Checks are mailed out 'within 10 days of order shipment' according to HO. The way I figure it I would need to close and submit the fundraiser/show by October 9th to have any prayer of it getting to me then to Texas on time.
I thought I'd just overnight the catalogs and order forms in the next day or so (the fund raiser people are 2 hours away from me) they can start getting orders ASAP. I guess, in my mind I figured it would be more of a catalog show type thing than a cooking show especially with the time contraints.
NOW, I get an email asking if I can do the 'show' next weekend. I can't/don't want to (family plans and, as I said, these folks are almost two hours away so it would take the whole day...). I don't know what to say to the guy. I thought about offering to come do a show or just bring some food or something on the day they are to turn in the orders. UGH!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any advice ANYONE could offer would be MOST appreciated!!!!
(Oh, and I am fairly new to the PC family...been a consultant since February.)
Thanks SO much!!
