I had an odd thing happen over the weekend...

On Saturday I got a call from a lady in my area (that I don't even know) who said her PC consultant for a show on SUNDAY had to cancel because she had the flu, could I cover for her? Well, I did.

The show that I did (Carrie's) had been booked from one of the guests (Lauren). Can Lauren purchase the monthly host special from Carrie's show even though I had nothing to do with her's????

I've never had this type of situation, so I have no idea what the right answer is!

Thanks for your help in sorting this out!!!
 
Wow! I think I would just call home office to find out what to do, what a wierd situation!
 
Yep, she sure can. The booking follows the host's name, not the consultant. I've never done it before though, so you'll need to probably enter Lauren's PHD number in PP for it to give her credit! HTH!
 
Yes she can. The booking benefit belongs to the past-host, not the consultant.

Great! Thank you guys for the fast response :) and the excellent info!
 
Great question ... and terrific response. I will certainly remember this myself. With crazy weather and illness these days you never know if you can help a fellow consultant out. :)
