So jealous!! I've been chipping away at getting my potentials to sign and none of them do! Great job!
 
Do you and your recruiter have a director or upline in the area? It sounds as if she is also very new to the Pampered Chef and could learn from a little more training. Perhaps one of you could request additional training by your upline, where both of you are present.

I also think that we are big people and if you feel she was not appropriate at your party with your friends and family, this should be discussed in a professional manner. You now own a business and you need to treat this as a business and be professional about your concerns. It is the only way that she will learn from the situation.

At the very least this is a learning situation for you. I always give bookings and potential recruits to my new consultants. You now have learned early how to train your new consultants to do the same thing.
