I'm just full of questions today.

I had a dear friend book a catalog show with me this month. It sold about $650 and one of the gals she sold to wanted to do her own cooking show. However, I'm 4 states away and won't be back that way any time soon. So...should I do anything to help find a consultant in her area? I'm assuming that it doesn't help MY business, but I'd also like to do something to help out since she doesn't know any consultants in her area.
 
If she doesn't know of any in her area RECRUIT her!!
 
I do put the booking on the catalog host...she will get the booking benefit. Then I WOULD find a consultant for her...good customer service. Check with your upper level Directors...they usually have folks in their clusters to help her out.

I would recruit her........ that is what I would do........
 
Hi there! I completely understand your dilemma and it's great that you're looking for ways to help your friend out. It's always a good idea to connect her with a local consultant who can provide her with the same great service and support that you do. This will not only benefit your friend, but it can also potentially lead to more business for you in the future. You can easily find a consultant in her area by using our "Find a Consultant" tool on our website. Simply enter her zip code and it will provide you a list of consultants in her area. Thank you for being a caring and supportive consultant for your friend!
