Ok, I have a unique situation. For my first show my neighbor decided to do a show for me which was really nice of her. I did what I could to host coach her even though it was difficult because she sells MaryKay so everytime I would bring up her show, she would start talking about MK. (She even passed out her MK cards at the show I hosted before I signed !!) Anyway, so a few days before the show I ask her how many people are coming and she says really layed back like "No one so far." Wow, I'm instantly bummed, its my first show and darn it I wanted it to be good! So I get my tail in gear and my husband and I pass out 20+ invitations randomly around the neighborhood. So on the night of the show the weather is terrible and no one shows up. At first I was bummed but then I decided to just look at the upside and make the best of it. So I went through my whole show and basically had a practice show with my hostess and recruiter right there to coach me. We had fun and ate and I went home. So the next day I ask my host if she could work on getting some outside orders for me. Well, I've talked to her just about everyday and guess what? You got it, no orders!
So to make a long story short, I got an outside order from a friend of mine and added an order from my mom to the show hoping she would come through with at least one or two orders so I have my $150 to submit it. Well, its been almost a week and a half now and nothing. Then she asks me today when I'm going to submit the show so she can get her mixing bowls!!!!
I was speechless. So my question to you all is how should I handle this?! I think if anyone should get the mixing bowls its me or my mom for putting in a $75 order. Yes, she did buy the ingredients and we had the show at her house and all, but I also got her a nice hostess gift (a MK money bag) and I just feel like she hasn't really put much effort into it.
Any input or ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance...
