Well, this is very dissappointing to post but :
When consultants committ to attending shows (in this case our PINK RIBBON BREAKFAST) - and then don't show, it makes my blood boil. Yes, fair enough things happen and you can't attend. But what's with a common courtesy phone call or email. This consultant was hard enough to track down and confirm with, then when she confirmed the day before, and rang on the morning at 8.30 for the address again, and then didn't show up - grrr. I didn't know whether to think she had an accident or what. And I have been waiting for a call, text, email or pm, but no nothing!!
Puts her company to shame, as lots of guests were asking for them!!

I have been to a few events lately that at least one stall holder has not showed up let alone notified the orgainser of their ability not to attend. Late notice is better than no notice. One event had 1/2 of their stall holders not show up on the night. It was a small event but that is not the point. If you can not attend call as soon as you know you can not. Simple as that. I know that things in life crop up but surely contacting the right person to let them know is better than just not showing up. Or even better try and get another consultant to take your place so that your company is at least represented.
What some consultants do not realise is that they are letting alot of people down when they do the no show. The organiser, the group that is fundraising, other stalls holders, their pp company and of course the most important of all - CUSTOMERS.
These days there seems to be less and less of manners and common sensebeing used and that is a shame.
