I need some serious help with this one. I have a consultant who signed with me in June. She has now determined that she does not want to do PC any longer (she has submitted her 4 shows). :cry: Here's the problem. She had a booking from her show that I did for her (where she decided to sign) that she has not done yet. The host to be WANTS a show, and does not want to do a catalog show. So, what do I do? Do I do the show since my recruit no longer wants to do it? OR do I just stay out of it? I'm afraid that if I do the show, and then she (new consultant) changes her mind about PC that she will be upset and feel that I "stole" a show from her. But the host really wants to do a show NOW. Anyone been in this situation before?
Oh, the consultant has already told me that if I want to do the show, then do it. But I'm still hesistant that this is going to come back to haunt me, KWIM?:rolleyes:

Just do the show I am sure the gal told your recruit she wanted to do the show and she isn't doing it so you better or she'll find someone that will.
 
Amy I would do the show if your recruit doesnt want it then go for it. I dont think you would be stealing it from her but that is opinion
 
I would do the show. That way the host doesn't feel like she is being neglected. If your recruit said she is done and has told you to go ahead and do the show, do it.

Good luck!
 
Do the show... it's not the host's fault your recruit is leaving. Or, offer it to your recruit as "one last show..." If she says no, then you have your answer and you can take the show.

If you can, I would send your recruit an email just double checking to make sure she really is o.k. with you doing the show. When she replys that it is fine with her, you have her "permission" to go ahead with it and have it "in writing", so to speak. At that point, it is not stealing.

Thank you all for your opinions. I think I'm going to book it, and then call the recruit and offer it to her - no recheduling. If she takes it as is, it's hers, if not then I'll do it.
 
DO THE SHOW!! Definitely
