So my mom's neighbor is a DS consultant for a spa products. Last August/September we "swapped" shows and each hosted shows for each other. She's a huge PC fan and also a past consultant (her director left for this new spa DS company and she followed) and her husband is also a huge PC fan. She told me that her PC shows were always pretty good turn out so I was thinking she'd have a great show and I was worried my spa party would fizzle since most of my friends are in college or newlyweds without the money to spend on those extra things. Well, the total opposite happened! Her show ended up being her and her husband, my mom, her mom and her niece. I had to add outside orders to her show to even make it quality while my show was over $400 with about 7 guests. She apologized profusely and I didn't think much of it; just happened to be bad timing for her friends. She did, however, give me the contact info of her sister who had some customer service needs. I contacted her (we texted back and forth) and we got her issues resolved and she also said she'd be interested in booking with me March/Spring. Her sister said she always had $2000+ shows so I was SUPER excited to get this lead. Well, end of December I went to a Christmas party at their house and they asked me to order them some pantry items and some replacement parts plus her mom wanted to purchase a few more things. I submitted the order mid January. Then a few weeks later my mom told me that her facebook status said something about now having to share her office with her husband for his PC business. Spring Launch comes around and yep! there he is!! So I contacted the sister tonight just to see if maybe for some reason she'd rather not host a show through family but she said "oh sorry, i guess you didn't know that _____ became a consultant and I just had a show with him". It's just weird that they've not even mentioned it to me. I don't know why he wouldn't have said something back in Dec. when they ordered from me...the facebook status was posted literally 2 weeks max after he told me what he wanted. At first I just figured he probably signed under his wife's old director since she knew from experience what it was like to work with that director but then I remembered that the director left too! So while I know I just have to bless and release, and know I had no "claim" to either this recruit OR the sister's show and they did nothing wrong; it does hurt me a little that #1 - I resolved her customer service issues because HER consultant wasn't helping but now have absolutely nothing to show and #2 - they haven't even mentioned it to me which almost makes me feel like they feel bad about what happened...then again, they're not MY neighbors (although I am friends with them on facebook, they're really good friends with my parents, and my sister-in-law/best friend is one of her downlines with the spa company).
*sigh* like the subject says...just needed to vent/rant!
