I have several people who ordered off of my hosts party and that host is now one of my recruits. Do I make Customer Care Calls to them or leave them alone because they are her friends and family?
 
Use it as a training opportunity, and offer to do 3-way calls with your recruit.
 
I'd ask your new recruit, the host, if she would like to follow up with those people or if you should. Or you could call them to just see if everything is okay with their order and then let them know that your host is now a consultant and if they would like to switch over to her for any future needs, it would be a wonderful boost to her new business and that you'll be there to help her, so they are in good hands. Or something to that effect. ;)
 
I have the recruit call them as a training activity and to introduce her business at the same time!
