Director Bless and Release New Consultant?

Background: I met Kim 1 year ago at a party. She told me she was interested in the business. Gave her info, made a date to follow up. I never get a hold of her. I see her a month later at another party, she says she is still interested, we make another time to talk more. No answer. I call and leave a message and then send an email. Over the next year, I check in via voicemail and email. Fast forward, her friend Heidi is having another party in March and I know Kim will be there. She tells me she is ready to get started. I say great when, she says now. I say, as in this minute, if so let's make this your party and get you started. (as an aside, Heidi's parties are never big, no matter what I do. I figured it would start her out and get some training in, plus She and Heidi are like sisters and Heidi wanted to help her). We do the party, she comes to New Consultant Training, she does another party with her Mom. When she signed, I said in a very nice way that I expect my consultants to stay in touch with me, referring to her lack of returning my messages. She gives me her cell number. We were keeping in touch for the first 3 weeks. Now nothing since the middle of April. I have called several times, sent emails. Today, I started getting worried that something may have happened. It seems the trend, I just called a potential consultant and past host to find out she past away before Christmas. Another recently told me her husband has brain cancer. Anyway....I started getting worried so I called Heidi her friend. Asked if she has heard from Kim, sure just saw her yesterday. Oh, I think is avoiding me for some reason. Is she okay? Yes she is fine. Okay, thanks, if you talk to her, just let her know I was worried about her.

The last message I left with Kim said something like, Gee Kim, I left quite a few messages and I have not heard back from you. I hope everything is alright with you and your family. Please give me a quick ring and let me know. I did not hear back, I sent the same thing via email.

So now I want to call her and tell her I talked to Heidi becasue I was worried about you and Heidi said you are fine. When you are ready to work on your business give me a call.

What would you guys do?

Just my initial thoughts....
Your last few sentences sound to me like the thing to say. If she is not going to make the effort, then there is not much you can do. My upline always tells me to work with the willing. Sounds like she may not be willing.

Hope she hears through Heather that you were asking about her.

You already know what to do... move on. You've been in touch, she hasn't. The fact that she's not getting back to you is your answer. I really don't mean to sound harsh, but this is business, not babysitting. You've reached out and offered to help and you now know she's fine. Move on to someone who is *willing* and deserves your effort... HUGS!!!!

bless and release... why put more effort into her when she is not putting effort into you, PC or herself???

I know, I know!! I think I was mostly venting. I am just bummed. I just came back from Maui and boy do I want that Med. cruise! I hate when I don't get someone qualified. I feel like I failed! Finley, you're not harsh, just truthful.

OMG! I TOTALLY hear you!!!! I want them to qualify more than anything.. and it's not only for the points but really for them to see if it's a good fit for them. They can't tell when they don't qualify... they haven't done it enough to make a good judgement.And who knows... maybe by releasing her, she'll come back around! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!! :candyheart:
