How to or Do I Respond to This??

[pamela]

I got a contact me page submission this morning and here is the comment:

I don't know if you remember me. You were my consultant for
my wedding shower about 3 years ago. i want to thank you for getting me
interested in being a consultant. It took me three years to decide to sign up.
I've been a consultant now since May this year. Thanks again!


I contacted this girl for about 18 months after that shower and never heard BOO from her~NOW THIS????????

I know, bless & release!!! But I really would like to welcome her into the fold and find out who she is with~just not sure if I can be nice about it!

can not post my thoughts=== sorry--

I can't think of anything that doesn't sound snippy.


If you really want to know who she signed with, call HO and they will tell you.

Wow. Don't know what to say.

Bless & Release.
I wouldn't even answer her, delete it and leave it at that. If ever you do see her out and about I am sure you will be sweet. Not worth an email conversation, which IMHO always comes out wrong.

I agree and I sure can relate. I just had the same thing happen except that mine asked to come to my meetings as hospitality. I talked about it all on another thread.

Bless and Release.

I would send her a quick message congratulating her and then bless and release.

the more I thought about it today~the more I realized how difficult she was as a host (not just her bridal show, she did one before that). It must have been in the stars for her to sign with someone else....God knows I could have used a team member, but not a difficult one! Maybe she changed, but I am just going to delete and move on!

You're so right Meg! There is definitely a reason she signed with someone else... and I think it's was to spare you the pain and suffering of having her on your team!

From a different perspective, I wouldn't bless and release so quickly. I'm guessing she doesn't know how the whole recruiting process works. I don't think she'd send you a note thanking you if she knew that she hurt you. That's not the tone of her note.

Looking back, when I signed, I had absolutely no idea how whom I signed up with affected me/her. I knew I wanted to sell Pampered Chef, so I called a friend of a friend and signed up. I had been to one show in my life, and the consultant told us her story and it stuck in my mind. She never said, "You need to sign up with me." So when I did decide to sign, I just did it. Looking at my own shows, I don't share the benefit to ME by them signing up with ME, I just share how PC can affect THEIR lives. Perhaps I need to re-think how I word it, because if a customer is as "green" as I was to direct sales and MLM, she'd not be aware that her decision to sign up with a particular person affects my business.

Just a thought...

I am sure that she may not know how the process works. I think it is up to you Meg to either respond with a "I glad I was able to inspire someone" or ignore the e-mail. A puzzling situation.
