I have gotten myself into a huge predicament and I honestly dont know what to do.
Here is the story. One of my soccer moms sells homemade gourmet and she called me and talked to me about doing a combined open house. I told her I was leary because the last one I did was a HUGE flop. Well we started talking more and I decided to do it and when we decided to do it the deal was if my customers ordered PC from me I would get the show benefits and if her customers ordered from her she would get the show benefits so I would have been submitting 2 seperate shows if they qualified. I went to TOH and gave out about 200 invites to the open house last week sent out 100 invites my self and emailed 200 customers. Well the other consultant asked me what I wanted to do about our combined customers since we knew we had a few of them. I suggested splitting those orders in 1/2 but now she wants all the PC benefits from the open house and I would get all the benefits from Homemade Gournmet. I told her this morning I didnt really want to do it that way because now I cant do my open house in Nov. (which I always do one then) Plus my DH thinks she should have given me some money for the booth at TOH since I passed out all the invites. My thinking honestly is if she wanted all the PC benefits then she should have hosted her own show. I dont know what to do I hate confrentaion. My thinking also is if I have to deliver my friends orders I should get the benefits. I am being out of line?? I am just so frusterated about this whole thing. And the open house is toight.
