Hi everyone, I'm new to these boards and am in the process of signing up with Slumber Parties. I have a sticky situation with my sponcer though. It came to me to sign up with Slumber Parties when my sister was having one last weekend. I did Pampered Chef a while back and did OK, but it really wasn't something that pulled me into it. Thats been a few years ago. Then lately I'd been looking for some part time work. But I've been unwilling to leave my newly adopted son. It hit me when my sister mentioned her SP last weekend.. THIS is something I could do!
The SP rep is a friend of my sister so I sent her an e-mail asking her some questions and giving her my phone number so we could talk some more. This is when it started. The SP rep replied to my e-mail and said she would be very busy the next day but would be happy to call me mid of the day on Sat (the day of my sister's party). OK fine I told her I'd be around and if something changed I'd let her know. I waited all day and she never called, that is until I'm drying my hair getting ready to go to the party. She called to get directions to my sister's house and didn't have her phone number. Fast forward to the party... We all get there and help her pull out her stuff because she is pregnant and unable to lift anything. She breifly talked to me and eventually pulled out some info for me to look over. Before the end of the party she tells me she will e-mail me with some other information/online invite to sign up.
Sunday comes and I'd been mulling over everything we had talked about and had a few more questions. So I e-mailed her. It took her 7 days to respond to my e-mail. She answered my questions and asked for my last name so she can send me that online invite. Here I am Monday morning and I've still not gotten the online invite. Also I ordered something from her party that she did not have in stock and I've not yet received it. I was under the impression that since the warehouse is right here in town I'd get my stuff rather quickly!
Now to the sticky part of it. I know she is pregnant. I also know she works full time during the week. Actually she is working 14 hours during the week at a summer camp. Only thing is where is the support for me? Where is the excitement to recruite me? I haven't signed any papers yet. I really want to do this and I'm just waiting until I've got the cash to get started. I should have that very soon and will be ready to get started. I don't know how long the summer camp is so it might be just a short delay until she is readily available. Yet I'm still pretty disapointed. Also I'm starting to factor in her age. She is only 21 (I'm 29) and has been doing this for just a little over a year. So I question just how much experience she really has and if she is going to be a very good sponcer.
I really just need some thoughts on this.
