Sorry, this seems a little long....I met a woman at an event in Oct. She was interested in hosting a show in Nov, but no matter how often I called or e-mailed she did not call back. Eventually I actually talked to her and she said she was too busy at this time. In Dec. she e-mailed me wanting to do a catalog show in Jan. and a cooking show in Feb. I mailed her a catty host packet and we actually were able to talk a number of times, but as I was trying to close at the end of the month she would not call back and there were no online orders. Although I offered to call or e-mail friends and family early on she never took me up on it. At the end of Jan. she e-mailed me saying she was not able to get orders for her catalog show cause of moving, but she was going to have her cooking show on Feb. 25. From then on I called or e-mailed 1 or 2 times a week, sometimes actually speaking with her, but she would not get her guest list to me. Last week I finally received an e-mail telling me she did not need me to send invitations, because she was doing it word of mouth. I also could not get her to committ to a specific recipe. This week I called and e-mailed several times. I know I should have just told her I was not going to show today, but I was thinking positive, so last night I left the message telling when I would be there. The drive was around 30 min. to an area that made me a little nervous. Her boyfriend answered the door and was surprised I was there. He said he didn't know where she was and that she had talked about having a party was a couple months ago. He told me to call her and see what was going on. I got to leave another message; told her where I was and that I was going home and if she wanted to reschedule to call or e-mail me. The day was not a complete waste I was close to where my son lives, so I called him and we went out to eat. Now, do I ever call this woman back or do I just keep her on the mailings and wait to see if she ever contacts me again?
