Business Ethics

You all know I'm pretty much posting about my skin care products to get men/women more familiar with them and how they can change your skin. However, today I'd like to talk about ethics or professional respect.

I had an unfortunate encounter with another consultant that I found really disturbing which made me wonder how often this kind of thing happens. In my situation, I was communicating with a potential recruit, answering her questions, sending her information and product samples, etc. Before I knew it, another consultant (from the same company) reached out to this person offering all sorts of free stuff if she'd sign up with her!

What I found annoying was that I had already put time, effort and expense (catalogs, opportunity brochure, samples, postage, etc.) to introduce the Series Opportunity to this person now someone else comes along offering her the world to get her sign up under instead of me? I don't know about anyone else reading this but I think that's just wrong. Not to mention unprofessional and disrespectful. I could not imagine doing that to another consultant. In the end, it worked out OK - she signed up with me & is one of the best consultants on my team.

Later, I've heard similar stories from other people, some of which made me cringe, and I never realized how much this is happening out there. Why can't we all just get along? How is it OK in someone's mind to go ahead and butt in on a fellow consultant's potential recruit? Why can't a consultant do their own work, get their own leads and work their own business? If anyone out there can shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it. If you have a horror story you'd like to share, tell us about it. What can be done to stop people from doing this? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
