Thank you i sent the email.
 
I wonder if it's the one that promoted at conf 1. Then sat behind me on day 3 and was sooooo rude! Bashed me twice with his briefcase that he parked in the seat next to me. Repeatedly bumped the back of my seat and yanked on the back of my seat and was very loudly chatting with 2 gals. I was beyond peeved!
 
Interestingly enough, his information is inaccurate. He gives the deadline date of Sept. 1 for the cookbook/pan promotion. It's really Sept. 17. Maybe he's trying to pad dates for slow comers, but the whole thing is wrong!
 
He also makes it sound like he is running a special promotion just for qualifying.

* And when you qualify by Oct. 31, 2007 i will send to you the Stainless 8" Saute Pan FREE!

Then the consultant should get 2 SS Saute pans :D One from HO and one from him!!
 
What's funny is that is that only people in our biz understand what it means to qualify... most people don't even get it.

What makes you think he's a director?
 
The website says he is a consultant.

I thought about commenting, too, but I didn't want to register.
 
So, has anyone reported this person?
