So, I was so excited to get a contact me page submission from my website. Then I open it to see that it is this:
This person is interested in the following matters:
When is the best time to contact you? Morning
Refer: no information entered
Comments or Message: I JUST GOT THE PACKET FOR THE FUNDRASIER YOU ARE DOING FOR XXXXXX ELEMENTRAY AND I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL PARTYS AND BOUGHT LOTS OF NICE THINGS.YOU LOST A SALE BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE SPENT AT LEAST $100 IF IT WAS AT HOSTED PARTY AND NOT HAVING MY CHILDREN TRYING TO SELL PAMPERED CHEF PRODUCTS,THAT'S YOUR JOB. THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL FUNDRAISER. THIS IS HIGH END KITTCHEN WARE, AND I WILL NOT SEND MY CHILDREN DOOR TO DOOR WITH A 55 PG. CATALOG THAT TOOK ME 20 MIN. TO READ. THE COMMUNITY WE LIVE IN CAN NOT AFFORD THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT. I WILL BE GIVING THE PRINCIPAL A LIST OF WHY THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN AND YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR PACKET AND CATOLOG IN THE OFFICE AT THE END OF THE DAY 11/9/07. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT ME YOU CAN CALL AT XXXXXX.
I've already spent $100 between catalogs, incentives and supplies to make the packages. I'm also giving 10% of my 15% commission. I plan to keep the other 5% to reimburse for these expenses. I really don't consider that having the kids do my job for me. I do understand that the catalog is kind of long for fundraisers but also that's what helps it to provide such a wonderful variety. As far as expensive - I think like 67% of the catalog is under $30 and 40-something% is under $20.
I'm trying not to be offended and am trying to think of how to explain to this woman the blessing that Pampered Chef has bestowed upon me to even be able to serve her school in this way...
I don't know any thoughts, ideas. Anyone else deal with an upset parent in this setting before?
