Trying to Close Show, How Many Times Do I Call?

[babywings76]

I did a show on the 16th. The host wanted to keep it open a week. Then she said she has orders, but the people don't want me to cash their checks till the 30/31st. I said that if she gets me everything and I have it all set to go, I will then deposit and submit on the 30 or 31st. Well then she said that she would e-mail me the orders on Sat. the 24th so I could total them for her and she would collect the money from the girls when she saw them at work on Sunday. Well, she never e-mailed me. Sunday I e-mailed her to see if everything was okay, if she still needed me to help her with the calculations and if there was anything I could do. No word. Monday I call her and she said that she had the orders and would work on them that night and e-mail me. I still haven't gotten them. Now, do I pester her tonight or give her some room and call her tomorrow evening if I still haven't gotten anything? I hear the clock ticking away as the end of the month approaches, and she is making me nervous.

My catalog host was also supposed to call me or e-mail me her orders by today. Nothing so far. I plan to call her tonight.

UGGG! Sorry if this is too much of a vent! But really, I do wonder how much I should press hosts, if they say they'll get me info by a certain time and I dont' get it, do I give them more time or call them?

I think I'd leave a message reminding her that the people who have placed orders are waiting for their products. I'd add that if I don't hear from her by the 30th, I'll deposit the checks I have, process those orders, and pick out free product for her.

I agree - just make sure you still sound cheerful (and not at all affected or irritated by her rudeness)

Oh I wish I could do that... however I have $0 entered for the catalog show host (except the previous host's order), and the Cooking show host is at less than $100! So they don't qualify and I am desperate for their orders that they supposedly have gathered.

My guess is that hearing that someone else will be picking out her free stuff would light a fire under her tushie.

You could still say that because you could always combine them into one single show submission

Tell her also that currently she does not have a "qualifying show" and if you don't get all the orders, you will have to combine shows and she may not get what she wants as her Host Special...

Not to mention you don't get the 4.25/ per order shipping- its by total. I'd call her again, remind her it takes a week or so to get the items even after you turn it in. she's already putting people two weeks out from their items. gently remind her- it is YOUR name that people associate with the timeline- not hers.
