If the friends and other guests enjoyed working with you, I'd keep them as customers. You can't control if they invite this crazy lady to future shows, but I think you absolutely have the right to not do business with someone who can't even be civil and show common decency.

chefmeg said:do you have caller ID? If so, let all of her calls go to your answering machine.
If you don't, you may want to consider just screening your calls anyway!Then you can write out a list of answers to the actual questions she has and filter through all of the negative comments and respond to her on your time. As for the calls after 8pm~you are going to need to use very strong wording for this...she has to respect your time with your family.
It sounds to me like she is lonely and you are a kind person that she has latched onto....have you talked to her about joining your team? She could really surprise you with her answer and if she joined, then at least you could make a profit on her bugging you!
and that, the company prefers consultants allow the HO Solution Center to deal directly with the customer over potentially voided warranty issues*. (Up until recently, the receipts use to say that consultants didn't handle product returns...or something to that effect. [Beth/Ann, please correct me if I'm wrong on this.])Wash by hand in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately after use. Do not expose to temperatures above 140ºF

cathyskitchen said:I had a "host" who asked me to drive over an hour to her house for a "vendor event". I worked like a dog to prepare for her show, then do my demo, then even bought stuff from the other vendors. She only had 15 people there with 5 vendors, so everyone's sales were horrible. I told her she just needed to get $60 more in sales to qualify as a show so she could get her host benefits, and she flipped out on me. Started calling me names, telling me what a horrible job I did at her show and it was all my fault because I was a terrible consultant, etc. Well, I told her I would not be submitting any of the orders that people had placed, I referred them to another consultant in the area, and I told her that I would not be doing business with someone who felt the need to insult me and disgrace me like she did. I've never heard from her again, but I heard from all of her guests and "friends", who told me they loved me and would order from me and host shows again in the future (and they have). She was crazy, and they all knew it. I don't need that kind of crazy in my life, though!! This is MY business!!
wadesgirl said:On the issue of her wanting you to call PC, I would have told her that in order for you to call PC, you need to talk with the customer yourself. That way you have all the proper information, how she wants to handle the return, etc before you call PC yourself. I normally recommend people calling PC themselves (except my hosts) because instead of playing phone tag back and forth, they can handle the situation by themsevles.
wickednoodle said:I do screen her calls, and I did use strong wording. She's not lonely; she has many, many friends (she's in the military and they all do daycare together)...she's very young and she's actually not from the US, so I suspect part of this might be a difference in culture.
I actually did talk to her about signing, and she said she had "no interest in working with such a terrible company".
But if she changes her mind and wants to sign with PC, you have my word that I'll happily refer her to you!

c'est la vie? I think! It's been a long time since I took french. Wait, someone on here was a french teacher, where is he (I remember a guy, just not the name).wickednoodle said:That was exactly my reasoning when I emailed her back. I explained that it doesn't make sense for me to call after hearing about the problem from a third party. I did suggest she have the customer contact me directly so that I can help her properly, and I haven't heard from her (which is highly unusual, so she must be upset...ce la vie) <-------sp??
The fact that I haven't heard back after suggesting that only supports my theory that she, in fact, is the one who is having the problem, and not a "friend".
I have a show tomorrow that was booked from hers. Oh, Lordy, help me if she attends!!

How did the show go? Was she there?
You can always look at her show and see who all ordered that particular item.
