Why Do Last-Minute Orders Lead to Frustration in Business?

[cathyskitchen]

Earlier tonight, I was on the phone with my host from this past weekend to close out her show. As we were chatting, someone called her. She took the call and called me back - told me it was the person she had been waiting for who said they were putting in an order via my website. Great!

Ok, so we tally up the host's order, and I told her I'd submit the show when I got the other guest's order via my website. That was 2 hours ago!! I'm tired, want to go to bed (I have work tomorrow!) and I want to submit this tonight so it goes in for my mid-month commission. GRR!! Why can't this woman get her act together and submit her damn order so I can submit this show and go to bed?!!!! Someone get me a glass of wine!

I feel your pain! It can drive you crazy! Just remember you have until 1 a.m. your time to get it in. Just take a nap and set your alarm (LOL)!

I hope it comes soon for you. I wonder if there is a delay w/on-line orders.

Wow, I JUST got it - at 11:15pm ET!! UGH, nothing like the LAST minute. I need to go to bed!

Well you may not get much sleep, but at least you'll get mid-month pay check!

"I hope it comes soon for you. I wonder if there is a delay w/on-line orders."

I was wondering the same thing. The woman said she was placing the order at 8:45pm, and I didn't get it until 11:15pm!! What is up with that??

Heehee! Yep, pay is much more important than sleep, right?! :indif:

BTW, I LOVE the new "Copy from PWS" button on P3 - it took 2 seconds to add the online order to the show - woohoo! Nighty-night, folks!!

Cool - I haven't had the opportunity to try that yet, but that is great! Good Night and Sleep Tight!

I heard that was a pretty sweet little feature.... I must give it a try... guess I need an online order first!!

Yes, it is so sweet to click on that button. Love, love, love, love it! Hope you get to try it out soon, Gina.

I didn't even know there was such a button!!!! The only order I have had from my website recently was an order not related to a show. Hopefully I will have one associated with a show soon!!!!

Love that button! I was trying to close before cutoff tonight too, but I missed it-already midnight in IL. Oh well, if I don't have the money until later, I won't be able to spend it until later!
