I Think I Messed up When I Signed up

ok, so I had no idea until after I had signed up to be a consultant that you sign up *under* someone.

I had a consultant that I worked with in May of last year. She gave me papers etc for signing up, but I didn't do it then.

I went through PC website to get information to host a party 2 months ago. When the director called me, I told her I also wanted the handouts for signing up also (knowing already that I wanted to do it-thus the reason for my party)

So we had my party, and I told her for sure tht I wanted to sign up. She asked me if I had been working with anyone, and I said "yes, in May" not knowing WHY she was asking.

That was the end of it, and I signed up under her.

Now that I know..I feel really bad. I should have signed up under the original consultant. She is the one that introduced me and and got me ready to do it.
To top it off, this month when I had my party, she actually emailed me about having a show.

Is there anything I can/should do??
did that even make sense?

I would apoligize to the consultant that you were working with. It has been almost a year since you last spoke with her. I like you would have assumed she was no longer in the business or that she forgot.

Hey there,I can understand why you may feel bad about signing up under a different consultant after your initial one introduced you to the opportunity. However, it sounds like you were not aware of the process and it was an honest mistake. You did not intentionally try to go around your original consultant.In this situation, I would suggest reaching out to your original consultant and explaining the situation. Let her know that you were not aware of the process and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. It's possible that she may have already received some commission for introducing you to the opportunity, but if not, you could offer to compensate her in some way for her time and effort in getting you ready to become a consultant.At the end of the day, the most important thing is to maintain positive relationships and be transparent. I'm sure your original consultant will appreciate your honesty and understanding. Best of luck with your new venture!
