What to Do With This Past Host??

[wadesgirl]

I'm getting around to calling my past hosts from the beginning of last year to see if they want to host another show. I had one host from last February who was a referall from my MIL. She had a great party - over $700 and said that she would love to have another party in the summer to get the 2 host benefits. In the mean time, one DIL booked a show and the other DIL signed up for my newsletter. Within two months, the DIL that booked a show, canceled on me within 2 days of the show (she never sent her invites :grumpy: she told me so) and the other DIL emailed me back asking to be taken off my newsletter list. I was never able to get ahold of the past host or the DIL about scheduling another show (after multiple calls and them telling me to call them back). So fast forward to last December, I had an open house and it was being rescheduled due to the weather. So I spent the afternoon contacting people to let them know it was being rescheduled. I get ahold of this host for the first time in months and her (snotty) reply before I could even say anything was "I don't need to buy anything right now, bye!" and she hung up on me I really don't want to call her back, I don't like rude people! She didn't even let me say what I was going to, just hung up on me. Do I call her or bless and release?!

Bless and release . . . I don't know that I would be able to call someone like that back and remain calm. Good Luck.

I would suggest that you don't waste your time on people like that. There are way too many people out there who are more than happy to talk to you.

Something must have set them off. Not sure what, but it's not worth your time to find out.....IMO.

That's my 2 cents!

I agree not worth your time if they are going to treat you like that before you even say anything!!

 

[wadesgirl]

Okay, glad to see I'm not the only one who wouldn't want to deal with her any more!

bless and release!

I would honestly try to find out what's going on. Sometimes association with people hurts you. For example, when I first started(like the day after I got my kit) my director called me with a horrible flu bug and she was supposed to do a show that night with a woman who lived down the street with me. Well, this woman didn't want me to do her show because of a spouse of somebody my husband works with who was at my show. Immature, I know but sometimes it's something trivial and maybe you'd be able to clear the air--however, if it was me, I would definitely bless and release.
