Sue had a show a year ago. Karen booked off that show. They have each had at least another show and been good hosts. They are occasional acquantainces.

Karen is now doing a catalog show to get the cookware. Sue has decided to become a consultant - but has yet to sign up. Should I give her Karen's orders? Karen has no clue that Sue is becoming a consultant but I'm sure at some point she will. Thanks.
 
personally, i wouldnt. but thats me, as im in dire need of more recruits.
 
I was also in that similar situation this month and I passed the show along to my recruit who was the friend of the catalog show host. I think it is important for your recruit to see that you are here to support her and not be her competition.

I agree I should give her the catty show but am already losing a booking for Oct. to her and have spent a bit of money/time getting the catty host extra supplies and explaining the benefits. Hope she's a good recruit and it won't matter in a few months.
