I was scheduled to do a Christmas Bazaar today. I got there, set up my booth...was ready to give the chairperson my donation for the auction basket when I turned around. In the next aisle is another PC consultant. I was livid to say the least. (Not at the PC consultant)
The other consultant looked like she spent a lot of time making cash & carry gifts. Had each on of the gift giving ideas from the CN. I approached the chariperson and told her it was my understanding that only one vendor would be accepted per company. She acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. I knew I was no "competiton" for the other consultant. I did not have much cash & carry or gift baskets and they were going to get to her before me anyway. Needless to say I asked for a refund, packed up my things and went home. I didn't want to sit for 5 hours with nothing to show for it. I know that is a chance we take when we do fairs, but that is when we aren't competing against someone in the same company.
Did I do the right thing by leaving? I did this event last year, and had huge success and I feel like I really missed out on it this year and am very dissapointed. I cried all the way home because I was so angry and disappointed.
A friend thought that I should send the chair an email, but I don't know what to say....what would you do.
