We call those "Kitnappers". If she is telling you flat out that she only wants the products and not to be a consultant, I personally would tell her that she is signing a contract to sell $1250 in products and could not sign her up if she was not planning on doing so... You don't need a Recruit who is not planning on working her business IMHO!

If she wants the rebate, then she'll have to at the very least fulfill her agreement to do $1250 in sales - and that's all that PC asks, really.
That was my plan when I signed up - and as I say at my parties - obviously I've done more than 4 shows in the last 7.5 years!
If she's willing to work to get the rebate, then I'd say Go For It! She might find out (as I did!) that she absolutely loves it!

Give her the chance to tell you that. Just like potential hosts that don't get back with me, I leave a message letting them know that it's okay if they've changed their minds. I just need to hear that from them via phone or email. Usually I get a call or an email relatively quickly. Most of the time they've just been too busy to get back with me. Sometimes they've changed their minds. Either way, I've maintained the relationship.
