So I have an outside order who wanted to book a show. We'd only texted back and forth, and I mailed her a host packet. A week later she texts that she's wondering when to expect the host packet. It seems it never arrived! I tell her I'll drop it off so that she can get going.
I look up her address on P3, and head on my merry way. I arrive and ring the doorbell, and the husband answers the door and just stares at me. I ask if Julie is home, and he says she is....again, he just stands there....so I introduce myself and mention Pampered Chef to which he says, Ah! Hold on.
Julie comes down and again stands in the doorway. I tell her I have the host packet for her show. She looks confused and says, but I never said I was having a show. She says she received the packet in the mail, but that she was sure she indicated that she did NOT want to have a show on the outside order form!?! She received the host packet and called her daughter to try and figure out why she'd gotten a host packet. She says she talked with Amy, her daughter, and that Amy was telling her she should have a show.
So, I apologize for the confusion and ask what her phone number is. She blurbs it out, and it is NOT the same number as the one I have been texting....but the 1st and last name are the same! I laugh and tell her that there has been a mistake, totally on my part and explain that I had the wrong person. She laughed so hard, and told me that her husband figured it was my way of getting shows and that it was sneaky but brilliant! lol
I told her that was not the case, but maybe one I may have to visit later on....she told me to call her daughter because she definitely wants to host a show. Turns out I did not have both of them listed as contacts, so only 1 option for that name popped up.
So....embarrassing error on my part, but luckily one that worked in my favor. I now have another show! lol
So, what's the craziest way you've gotten a booking?
