As most of you know, I signed up to be a Stampin' UP! demonstrator a couple months ago. My plan was just to be a hobby demo to be able to get the discount, not a big deal. Well, whenever I'd mention it to people they'd want to know when I was having a workshop or stamp camp. So, I decided to have an open house/workshop kind of deal. I talked it up and had specials and whatnot. I even specifically asked people over the last week if I'd see them today. I had four people show up. One was my upline (for support), one was my upline's sister (who already has a demo in her sister), one lady from my MOPS group, and my friend Jenn. I'm very grateful that these four people did come but what about all the rest of the people that said "yes, I'll see you on Saturday"? I feel hurt and lied to about the whole thing. I just don't understand why it's so hard to say, "I'm sorry but I'm not interested" or "I'm sorry, I have other plans that day" or something; why do they have to lie about whether or not they're coming? And I'm not pushy at all! I'm one of those rare demos who will tell you to go get a 40% off coupon and buy your cropadile at Hobby Lobby. I just wish people would tell me the truth. I can count at least five people who acted all excited and told me they'd definitely be here but didn't show up.

Ok, sorry for my whining; just had to vent.

I had that happen to me several times when I was a consultant with PartyLite. I was a lousey sales person, but I enjoyed the product. In fact, I usually passed on my discounts to customers and hardly made anything. My open houses weren't well attended even when people said they would come. I never understood.

That does just drive me nuts too. I think it is rude and disrespectful but that is just my opinion.
At least call me and tell me that something has come up or no thank you.

That sucks! Sorry that it didn't turn out like you had anticipated. That is the one reason why I don't like hosting parties. I feel like I sound pushy. Not that you are being but home sales always seem that way. I know that you will establish regulars soon. It takes time. Good luck.

It annoys me that they did that. I know how hard she worked on getting things ready and all that she did alot of cutting card stock and stuff. Those people were rude. I am sorry it didnt turn out better.

Thanks guys!

The feeling pushy thing is one of the main reasons I hadn't ever signed up before.

If you tell your secrets to the wind... Don't be mad if it tell's the trees.

If I lived close by I would have loved to go to your party. Unfortunatly some people are like that..they'll tell you they'll be there and then not show up. Like Sonja, thats why I don't like hosting parties either. Give it time Jess, it'll get better.

Ellen, you can order from Jess. Look at the online catalog and give her your order. Thats what I've been doing. She's great in ordering for you and I really haven't had to wait long for my stuff.
