Please help! I've had a 3/22 show on my calendar for several months and have started a good relationship -several calls/conversations and good raport with the host. Things have been going quite well.
However, she called the other day and explained to me that her friend is starting the PC biz and she feels obligated to host a show for her but she'd feel bad if she'd cancel with me. She totally caught me off guard and I didn't know what to say. We chatted for a while and I told her I'd needed to check this out will get back to her soon.
It seems that most of her guests do NOT know this new consultant so I don't think they'd feel obligated to keep her as their future consultant. Many of the guests I've already met at a different show and I'm beginning to know them more through out other shows in their group.
I'd like to help the new consultant out but I also don't want to lose a booking being a fairly new consultant myself. I also feel that there are a lot of future bookings down the road from this group. What would you do in this situation? Is there something we could do as far as being co-consultants?
I'm happy she called and explained the situation instead of just cancelling too. What would you do?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
