I usually have 4-5 catalog shows per month to pad my sales, but I do not count on them, however, this one hostess has me so frustrated. She booked an October show from a Sept hostess. She had just met the hostess, so it was not a close friend, just a neighobor. Anyway, I give the packet to her right away, which was the last week in September, and we plan to close ths show on the 15th of Oct- the 15th comes and goes, she will try to close by the end of the month, after speaking to her several times, excuse after excuse, she says it will be the first week of November- she says she has several orders ( I would have just let it go, if there had not been customers waiting for thier products) So I speak to her again on the 7th, she says she will bring the orders by. I remind her that it has to be closed by the 15th, since it is an October show, Surprise, she does not bring them by. I call her, and offer to pick them up, she says, no I will bring them over the weekend (last weekend) surprise again, no orders- well, she ended up mailing them, and I receive them yesterday (the 15th-last day) but, of the 5 orders, 3 of them did not pay shipping, it was crossed off the form, each order was in the name of the hostess, not the customer. and 1 order was paid with credit card, and where it says name on card, guess what was written in.....
American Express... AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I got the mail as I was heading out for an afternoon show, I try to call her on the way, leaving messages, that I need to speak to her because the show needs to be closed by midnight. I tried calling her again after the show, still no answer and no return call. I would not let it bother me except the past hostess wanted SA as her past host discount. Well, I guess I can turn it in as a November show. It really does not amount to much sales wise, it is just frustrating that some hostesses do not pay attention when you coach, and do not respond or follow through with what they say they are going to do. I am so thankful that this is not the norm. I have been blessed to have most of my hostesses have turned into dear friends.
