Director Not Sure What to Do This Morning!

[ChefBeckyD]

I have a show scheduled for 11am.

The host was out of the country until Nov. 1st. We talked on the first about her party...she was just inviting most of the people then, but did have a couple online orders too, so I knew she'd been doing something for her show. BUT - all day yesterday, and then still this morning, I've emailed and called, and haven't heard back from her at all. She never acknowledged getting the ingredient list for the demo, and she hasn't responded to my requests for directions to her home, etc...

Do I just go and try to find her home? Mapquest and my GPS neither one are working for her address - it's in a newer area of homes. Do I even go if I don't hear from her? I should be leaving in an hour.

Oh, I hate that for you. Since you did talk to her on the 1st, I would probably go. Take along the ingredients for the lava cake just incase she didn't get the grocery list and people do show up. You'd feel terrible if you didn't go and she does have guests come.

I would go. She talked to you a few days ago. Things are probably crazy for being out of the country and getting ready for a show. Maybe she's at the store now....

I have the Artisan Bread rising to bake and we were going to make it with pasta. I have stuff to do a couple speads for the bread plus oil dipping seasoning. I'll just do that. What I hate is that it's a good 45-55 minute drive...and I'd hate to do the drive for nothing. Just tried to call her again, and she still didn't answer. It's her cell phone....I've also tried her work # yesterday, and her home phone. (and her email)

Still go. If she was blowing you off then you will get the satisfaction of knowing you followed through on your commitment (and make her feel horrible!) If she is just super swamped and trying to get everything together then you will look like a responsible and professional consultant...either way, you win!

Go, better you show and she is the flake than other way around.. you never know what you are going to get for it

I'd go too. But I wouldn't stop & buy ingredients. She's either followed through for her cooking show or it can be a "walk through the catalog" show. Procrastination on their part doesn't constitute an emergency on my part. I'm not willing to jump through hoops and rush to the store on the way to a show because they dropped the ball. LOL If there's no groceries, just start off with a statement how things have been super crazy for the host since she returned from her trip and that you are mixing things up a bit today ... then go into just talking about the products. Or, if you have the executive cookware with you, burn a slice of cheese to show them how easy it comes off. LOL

How did it go? What happened? Hoping it was a miraculous success

 

[Sheila]

No response, hopefully is GOOD news that you are there doing the show now!
