I got a phone call from a friend. She has a PC party to go to on Thursday. The host, is at her wits end! It seems her consultant is well, not very good.
1) Heidi just got her invite yesterday. The party is this Thursday.
2) The consultant told this host that she will get double the free items
Never mentioned that the extra kicks in at the $500 mark
3) The host has no guest bonus info, no outside order stuff. And just got a
copy of the host benefits and is really upset that what the consultant
said, is not true. I looked. Over all it is not true. It is but only at the $500
level. I gave Heidi the Guest special info. Oh and the consultant did not
send the entire Host flier! Only the numbers from the grid. This host had no
idea that a 60% off product was involved or anything else!
4) She has no idea what she needs to buy, they have not discussed food at
all.
5) She does not want to do the party with this consultant. She feels lied to and cheated out of a really good party and getting extra orders because she has no outside order stuff. Her consultant is pushing her too to close before month end. She will not have time to get a lot of outside orders after the party to make the $500 mark. She has done PC parties before and has asked repeatedly for this info. Heidi basically asked me to do it instead. I could if I really needed to or felt a need to make PC look better to this lady. School is my only issue and I told Heidi that. She understood.
I gave Heidi this advice. I told her to tell her host to call everyone. Make sure they all know about the party. Tell them how excited she is to be having this party and how great it will be to see everyone. What I did not tell her is that this a psychological trick to make her feel excited about it too no matter what the circumstances are. She also told me her friend is very apprehensive about the party itself. She feels that if this lady can not coordinate with her, how is she going to do a demo that is any good? I told Heidi that since she is an avid PC fan, have some facts of your own about products you own handy on the brain in case. She said she understood what I was saying. Keep it going if the consultant can't. She kinda did not want to do that because she feels if this lady isn't any good, she does not want to make it seem like she is. I said you are not doing this for the consultant. You are doing it for your friend. She said, that I can do. I said good. I also said, and I did mean it, if this host feels like she needs to cancel that party she should. And I left it at that. I did not volunteer to do it later. I did not cave and tell Heidi I would do the Thursday date. I really can't so... I also think Heidi got the hint too that if anyone books, they can do that party with me and the host will get the 60% off bonus as it follows the host and not the consultant as I referenced that when Heidi told me she thought the past host got nothing form the booking. I explained how it worked. She never got bookings from her parties that held so she had no idea. I just have this awful feeling I should have said I would do it. I hope I was not wrong in letting it work itself out and let the consultant fall where she may. Even at the expense of the host.
