I have a frequent catalog party host--a Vietnamese manicurist whose customer is one of my friends. She calls me every month or every other month with orders. It's pretty cool!
Today, I went to her shop to collect the most recent "party" orders (ended up being a $300 show!) and she asked me if I'd give it to her as a cooking show.
Turns out one of her other customers' daughter just became a consultant and told her she'd "give" her a cooking show if she'd turn in the orders with her.
Now, her first party, I brought in treats and called it a cooking show because food was available, but I don't feel right calling it a cooking show when it's not...and I can't believe the nerve of this new consultant who is trying to bribe my host into becoming her host.
I know I don't "own" this gal and she's free to submit her orders to whoever she wants...but I'm the one who prints flyers and outside order forms and takes her catalogs, totals orders and even adds to her parties when I can.
It's frustrating.
