How Not to Be Rude While at Another Ds Show??

[prissylovescooking]

I think a great way to redirect the attention would be to jokingly say, "I love my business because I can make my own schedule! Unfortunately I already have plans for attending a Jewlery show this evening. Oh yeah, my apron is in the wash also. Can we get together tomorrow?"

Thanks so much! I've learned alot and written down notes (that's how I learn and make it stick to my head) now I need to say all these things with confidence!

It is hard when you get into those "fixes". I was invited to a Party Light Party. The host is now our tenant but remembers that night very well. She mentioned to some of the guests that I was a PC consultant before the party began. I was very embarrassed as everyone wanted to talk to me about PC and not listen to the Party Light Lady. She was getting upset and I finally had to interrupt and tell every one that I would be happy to talk to them but I wanted to hear about all the neat candles. I really felt awful as she booked no parties. I booked three. And yes, I spent about $90 that night. I have, except for twice in 11 years, turned down all invites to other parties. The ones I did go to where strictly out of obligation to a recruit and one of my best hosts. And I made very sure they never mentioned PC. I simply told them that it would not be fair to the consultant. And they agreed.

OH and in all fairness to you, I think the way things went were also NOT ON YOU! You are not guilty of anything. I mean, I think it is very hard to control what comes out of ones mouth when you are literally sideswiped! In fact, I felt the other consultant was a bit rude to you.
