I've had an experience that I thought I'd share. My sister sells Mary Kay, so she is my consultant. I have a SIL that lives on the other side of the country from me and now she is having a party w/ MK with another consultant. I don't plan to get anything, though, because to me, it doesn't make sense to buy things and pay for the shipping and such when I can get my things from my sister who lives local to me (plus she gives me a discount.) I don't even really buy that much MK stuff to begin with and have a bunch of stuff in my closet I don't use. Anyway, this consultant sent me an e-invitation with herself as the sender, not from my SIL, which threw me off at first because I had to read through the invite to figure out that it was for my SIL. I RSVP'd that I was sorry but I already have a consultant that I work with, etc. Now today I get a newsletter from her. :grumpy: It bugged me that she added me to her newsletter list without asking me or anything. She didn't take the time to listen to my reply either and go in and remove me. She probably added every single e-mail my SIL gave her to her list. Anyway, I just thought I'd share this in case others never thought of this from a guest's perspective. We should make sure that when we contact customers for the first time, that we make clear our connection. Remember that if we are sending e-invitations on behalf of our hosts that it is through our websites using their host code that we do it, and not through the PWS assistant, so that people are being invited from the person they know and not a stranger (us). And also...don't add people to your list that your host gives you. Make sure you have their consent before adding them to your newsletter lists.
