Should I Host with Annoying Co-Host Again?

[lesliec]

I met a girl at a show in May. She had a show a week later and only had two show up. Didn't qualify as a show, combined orders with another show, got a booking, and moved on. Then in June she co-hosted with another girl. Ended up pretty good at about $800 and got a few bookings, but had a horrible time getting the money from her. She really is the host you dread. She is annoying, needy and flaky.
She just sent me a FB message and she wants to host again in September. I have already had a whole bunch of shows in this group, and honestly she is the annoying one in the group she doesn't usually get invited to the parties, b/c she is annoying, and I have a feeling no one is going to show up. I have already tried to recruit her, but she isn't interested b/c she doesn't drive.
What should I do?

send her a msg. your booked for sept, but if she likes you'll add her for Oct. Then pray she does not want to do a show in Oct.

Yes, tell her you are booked solid BUT she can certainly host a catalog/internet party

If it goes thru...fantastic...if not..then you didn't waste your time at a cooking show. It's a win-win

I don't want to lie to her, but I like the idea of trying to get her to do a catalog show. I also realized that one of her friends is contemplating signing. She might go for it if she knows she has a booking. I guess if she doesn't, then I can push her towards a catalog show.

Emailed both of them, so we'll see what happens.

get her to sign up and she can do her own show!

Never judge people or shows! If you don't feel like doing it, pass it onto someone else who make look at the positive side of things.As far as getting the money from her, I never have people mail me money. I always do a debit card or credit card over the phone from the host for all outstanding orders so that I can close it that night.
