What is vent: Definition and 147 Discussions

Man am I PO'd.....Why do people have to lie?? I had a catty host in June who came to me and really wanted to do a catty show. I gave her some cattys and she kept asking for more and more, Great Right!!! Well the end of June comes and well she is waiting for more orders to come in so she wants to...

I know this has probably been discussed a million times, but I just need to vent! My shows are decent...of course I would like higher sales... BUT - my main issue is crowd control!! I had a show last night with 16 people. It was INSANE. A few people listened from time to time, but...

So I had a wedding to go to today, and left my DH home with my napping toddlers. He got on my laptop and picked up a virus somewhere. He claims innocence and said he was just on sites we go to all the time, but he had to have picked it up somewhere... I got home after basically being...

Is it just me - or is June turning out to be a bust? I had five kitchen shows scheduled for the month and only one for sure is still happening. I haven't been able to reach my host for the 24th - but if she bails on me I don't even know if I'll be able to scrape up enough sales to hit level...

It would really help if *I* would get and email about MY consultants going inactive. I kniow one of mine had a show he was going to submit. So I checked my tracker and it says he's now inactive.:mad: I am sure my director got the email. And how is that supposed to help ME keep them active...

OK so I have been a consultant for 4 years. I have yet to find anyone who wants to sign up. My DH is on me all the time to "recruit, recruit! You know it's the only way you are going to make any money" He says this to me all the time. He sees me reading this board and likes to ask " so did you...

Jason wondered what a parity thread looked like - so this is a parody thread of his thread. Nothing to see here...move along. Or stick around and post some other silliness.

I know I'm new here, and I don't usually go telling complete strangers everything, but you all seem to be pretty nice and willing to listen to just about anything. My ex-husband is coming to pick up our daughter today for his "spring break" visit with her. Granted, it's only 4 days that she...

I can't help but notice how people are just getting down right mean to others on these boards. Good Lord people - if you don't like something that was said then just DON'T READ THE POSTS!!!! There is no reason to jump down someone else's throat because something tweaked you the wrong way! Why...

i brought the new peeler to my show to use and it hardly worked!!! i didn't think the old one was that great but the new one is terrible!!! anyone else have trouble? i was so embarrassed at the show but was able to wing it :-)

when I want to go onto CC and make a supply order, it FOREVER IS HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!!??? phew....I feel better now.

I had a show booked for 2/8. I booked this show from a show in Nov. The lady that booked the show said that she wanted to get the new cutlery. I called her the 1st week of Jan after I sent out the host package and made sure she didn't have any questions. She told me (very snooty) that...

Ok... So I had a bad night with my little guy so am am not at my best this am. I'm going thru my emails and remember about the Schwans fundraiser kickoff we are doing at our early childhood program ( I know.... why not PC... long story and it doesnt really matter) anyhoo.... I sent an email on...

Okay it looks like this year is going to be good for me in the wedding department. However, my brother-in-law and his fiance have hurt my feelings and I was hoping for some advice/feedback/support... After I began my buisness and knew they were getting married I asked his fiance if she would...

I signed up to be a consultant because it was free. I ordered one of the starter kits and some extra scent samples. The shipping was outrageuous. I have not gotten my kit. I ordered it about 3 months ago! NOT HAPPY!

Okay let me give you some background for this month. I have been sick most of the month, my grandfather died and had to fly back east for a week. Then I had a family vacation planned where we were gone over a week (happens every thanksgiving). Okay started having parties in this group (a lead...

Ok the pregnant hormones have arrived in the last few days and along with being weepy, I'M VERY ON EDGE!! The littlest thing sets me off in to a temper!! The kids are driving me nuts. Both have decided to start misbehaving and the DH just sits on the coach like a huge blob wondering why the...

So, I am on the phone with my director last night, doing some research online for our upcoming Host Appreciation night. Suddenly my internet went down. Turns out that while we were on the phone, my husband Dave got bored and decided to clean out the office. We have two computers up there that...

Okay I worked our local fair this weekend and it went not too bad. I already have 3 shows booked so far and lots more calls to make. The bad part: Okay my second up director (my director's director) is very hard to work fairs w/. If I would start talking w/ people and give them a catalog she...

I just recently had someone who was very interested in becoming a consultant. The only bad thing is that she lives and Mexico. :confused: I contacted home office and they told me that we do not ship to Mexico. I feel really bad and down about this. :( She really wanted to become a...

I just need to vent to people who will understand. Jan was SS3 for me and late last night I submitted my last 2 shows. I forgot to add an item on one of my host's orders! Now because of that I am not getting my SS3 bonus and when I called Customer Service they said sorry we can't add even...

This price increase really upsets me! And I hear that there will be an increase for the Guest Specials as well!... $60 for FREE gift. I haven't done one KS yet and I just held an Open House last weekend with not one soul showing up. It's been hard getting a jump start. Most of my sales have...

:( How about this topic for a change. Had a really wierd experience at a kitchen show last night and I just need to know is it right for me to feel this way or not!!! First of all - I'm going back to August - my daughter got married so I pretty much took most of July and August off, soooo I...

Well, I have just had two more cancelled shows for this month, and two more parties that were booked that said no. Another is iffy because the host had surgery. Another host, party on Fri., won't return my calls. The party I shadowed produced no bookings despite two calls to the host and her...

The No Show ShowAfter some really excellent host-coaching on my part (if I do say so myself), and follow-up reminder calls, and a confirmed attendance number of ELEVEN, not a soul showed up to this poor host's party tonight. What would you have done in this situation? I was making garden...

I've seen many other people vent and now i finally have a reason to. i did two shows the last week of july. neither one of them want to close there shows yet because they dont have all the money collected yet despite the fact that i call them a few days in advance and tell them when i will be...

I guess I just have to vent... I am in my SS1 month (which just ended 4/30) and I found out a show that I had on the 29th that is closing today WILL NOT qualify as an April show b/c it wasn't submitted last night!! I really tried to get that last show in so that I could get all of the...
