Hi everyone,
I have a possible dilemma...maybe ! OK, here's the background. At my son's preschool party this past May, I got talking with some of the moms about PC. One of the moms (Carey) said she's a PC junkie but is really unhappy with her consultant (I'll call her Krista). Carey has hosted numerous shows with Krista and referred her to a lot of friends who've hosted quite a few $1000 shows, so they are (well, now "were") relatively close. Carey's medium scoop broke last year and at the time it was one month out of warranty. Krista refused to do anything about it, wouldn't even give her a discount on a new one. She was really disappointed because she has spent at least $500 with Krista, and thought Krista would help her out. I told Carey I happened to have an extra used one and she could have it (it was literally sitting in my Goodwill pile). She was very grateful and accepted. Carey called me a few weeks ago and placed a $50 order. I met her at McD's today to give it to her. We got to talking and she said that when her daughter starts kindergarten this fall, she needs to find a part time job. Of course, every warning bell in my head was sounding, so I mentioned PC to her. Her response was, "I know I'd be good at it - I love PC and I love to talk. Krista was trying to talk me into it for years, but I don't want to give up nights and weekends." Take away the Krista part for a moment. I said, "You'd rather work 3-4 afternoons every week and make less money than if you just work 4 nights a MONTH? Think about it Carey...There are 30-31 days in a month, and you would be gone 1/7 of those nights. That's it! Plus the free products you would get, the recognition, the trips." And on I went with my spiel. She said she never thought about it that way, and was going to talk to her DH. I went to the car and gave her a recruiting pack.
NOW, you can probably guess what my dilemma is. Am I stealing Carey from Krista? Carey did say that she doesn't speak with Krista and will not go to any shows in which she's the consultant (Carey's crowd is still having shows with her). As much as I would want Carey on my team (I really believe she'd be awesome), I do not want that on my conscience, and I don't want a call from Krista accusing me of stealing either (I don't have any idea who this consultant is)...
What do you all think?
Thanks!
