- 30
So today is my 30th day. I've had 2 shows that the sales have put me over the $1250 mark and qualified me as a Consultant (which I'm very pleased about). I have one other kitchen show that I am closing tonight and then I have a catalog show that was SUPPOSED to close today.
First let me explain that my host for the catalog show is a co-worker. She has known that I get bonuses for meeting certain goals within my first 30. She wanted to help me out by having a catalog show. Everywhere I read on both CS and CC it says to set an END date for catalog shows, which I did. She started her show around 3/9 and I gave her an end date of 4/2 (giving me a 1 week buffer). She collected $260 in orders from 4 people. I sent catalogs to 3 different people for her. So, last Monday I asked her if she was ready to close. She said that her sister in KS wanted to order, she just had to check with her. Tuesday she comes into work and gives me the order ($32). Since this is shipping to KS, I wanted to make sure that I was giving her the correct final total for her sister. I emailed her the total on Wednesday morning. I then spoke to her and told her that since we were running out of time, that instead of her sister sending a check, if she could give me a debit or credit that would be better. She understood.
Thursday afternoon, host asks me if I was ever going to send her the total of her sister's order!! WHAT??!!
I told her that we had discussed and I had sent to her the day before. I resend her the email. Friday she takes an unplanned vacation day from work.
So this morning I come into work. She catches me first thing and says "my sister is putting a check in the mail today, we can close when I get the check."
Now, I know that I can get her to close the show anyway and I can cover the additional cost, but I'm so disgusted and disappointed right now that this person that is SUPPOSED to be my friend and wants to help me would just blow off the whole reason she was "helping" me in the first place. I don't even know how to go about even talking to her about this without sounding bitter.
Any advice would be welcomed.
