Another Question About My Show...

[TheFreddiesCook]

My host & co-host did not want to purchase any of the 3 products they earned at half-price. What do you do if this happens? Just let it go? Can the consultant get those and pay the host for them? I am still new, so I am wondering about new situations that I encounter...

In this situation, i usually give the host the option to pass on the half-offs to a friend/family member. If they don't want to do that, I will ask if they would mind if I used them...

And you don't have to pay the host for the half price items, you just give them their total without putting them in and then before you send it you add what you want for the 1/2 price and the difference is what you owe.

So do I even have to tell her, if I do it this way? I mean, she did not want them, and once I submitt the show, it's done and she can't get them anyway.. Oh, wait... I'll have to get them from her, they'll be shipped to her, right?

 

[Careyann]

Yes, it will be shipped to her. I would probably ask her if she minds if you take advantage of the half price and usually hostess are cool with it since they didn't want it anyway. I always tell them it's a better discount then I can get! I would print a receipt for her before you add the 3 half price and then just put a sticky on it and let her know when she receives x, y and z, to call you and you'll come pick those up.

I never take any benefits from my host even if they do not want them. The host benefits are there for the host, not for us as consultants. If you want half price items, host your own show.

If you are going to do this though, ask first!

I always ask the host if they mind if I use the half price item if they aren't going to. They all very generously say yes and don't mind at all. Some hosts can only take what they earn for free as their funds are low.
