I did a show in November and I just got a call yesterday from one of the guest. She said that she didn't receive some of her items. She said the reason she didn't call before is because she has surgery and didn't get to her stuff until now. The host told me she checked the items that went to each of her guest twice...which I totally believe because that's just how she is. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should say to this guest or how I should handle this? I don't want to be buying her items just because she said she didn't get them.
 
I would compare what the guest says she was supposed to get with what PP says was ordered and if that's the same then call the host and ask her if she remembers if anyone said they got someone elses product - sometimes we are so careful but still mis-bag. It would be great if she still has the packing slips because maybe the products aren't there.

If that doesn't solve it then I would call PC and tell them the whole situation. They just might send the products. Can't hurt to try.
 
call HO and explain it to them. I have had them take care or missing products past the 30 days. And since it was Christmas some people probably didn't follow up, just becuase they were too busy.

Thanks you guys I will try both suggestions and see what happens :)
 
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to me about this issue. I'm sorry to hear that one of your items was missing from your November show. As a consultant, my goal is to make sure all of my customers are satisfied with their purchases and their overall experience. Can you please provide me with the details of the missing item so I can look into it further? Also, if you have the receipt or order number, that would be helpful as well. I will do my best to resolve this issue for you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and I hope you have a speedy recovery from your surgery. Best,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a guest complains about a product they purchased at my show?

First, listen to the guest's complaint without interrupting. Acknowledge their feelings and thank them for bringing the issue to your attention. Then, ask for specific details about the problem and offer solutions, such as a replacement, refund, or exchange, depending on the company's policies.

How can I handle a complaint about a delayed shipment?

Apologize for the inconvenience and reassure the guest that you will look into the issue. Provide them with any tracking information you have and let them know the estimated delivery time. If necessary, contact customer service for further assistance and keep the guest updated on the progress.

What if a guest is unhappy with the quality of a product?

Address their concerns by asking for specific feedback on what they found unsatisfactory. Offer to replace the product or suggest an alternative that may better meet their needs. Ensure the guest feels heard and valued throughout the conversation.

How can I prevent complaints from guests in the future?

To minimize complaints, ensure you provide clear information about products, including their features and limitations, during your show. Encourage guests to ask questions and share their experiences. Follow up with guests after the show to address any concerns and gather feedback on their purchases.

What should I do if a guest is very upset and confrontational?

Remain calm and composed, and avoid taking their frustration personally. Listen actively and validate their feelings. If the situation escalates, suggest taking a break to cool down or offer to discuss the issue privately. Always aim to resolve the complaint amicably and professionally.
