Ack! She Hosted With Someone Else?

[DebbieJ]

I met Becky in Oct 2005. We chatted, said she's thought about doing this, but has a neighbor who is consultant and they've never talked about the opporutnity. To me that means the coast is clear.

I left a message in January 2006, then left two messages in July (yeah, I know, a big gap), one in August, one in Sept, and then I just left her a message this week. All along she has received my email newsletter and invites to special events (mystery host party, recruiting event).

For the heck of it today, I looked her up on host lookup. She hosted a show on 8/3/06! I missed her! If I would have stayed in touch....but then again her neighbor is a consultant.

So now do I take her off my list and not try to call her so regularly? I was calling her more for the opportunity than to host. Each time I left a message; we actually never spoke since we met in Oct 2005.

Stuff like this just frustrates me. But if my neighbor hosted with someone else, I know I'd be even more frustrated, so I do see the other side of things.



I guess I'm venting more than asking for advice. I'm sure you've all had something similar happen and it stinks.

Ouch. I am sorry

That totally sucks!!! And yes, it has happened to me, too!!!

I would definitely take her off the list...there will be more people out there. Besides, I bet you won't let too much time pass between follow-up phone calls.

I wouldn't take her off the list. She hasn't asked to be taken off and you have every right to keep calling and contacting her with emails and such. Who knows, she might have hosted to get a friend started or something other than just a "normal" PC party - what is normaly anyway. So, don't punish her for you finding out that she possibly hosted.Now, you checked the name - was it the right address? Some people have common names. I took a class in college where there was another Katherine Ann Jensen - same spelling, too. Just a thought!

Oh yes, it was her. Her last name is quite distinct.

Don't worry about it. Maybe she was at a show & wanted to help a friend, maybe a friend joined, maybe she hosted a wedding shower for someone. I wouldn't stop contacting her. I have a host from Nov 2005 who was interested in joining, but decided not to right now. Then I noticed she had a show in Mar 2006 (2 months after I talked to her about joining), but she got married in May so it was probably her wedding shower. Of course I would have loved to do it, but maybe the host has a consultant she likes. Anyway, don't worry too much about it.
