Hi there is a woman in my local moms group who wanted me to try this hand lotion from NuSkin. She didn't tell me it was from them other than it was a great hand lotion and I would love it. I tried it and the first time I used it, I thought it was great. The second time it had too much fragrance and I didn't want it. Now she is mad at me saying "I thought you 'loved'" it??? I don't. I actually hate it. She is really mad that is didn't buy this over-priced hand lotion. If she had told me it was NuSkin to begin with I would have said no to it right off the bat. I don't like their cosmetics and I have used them in the past.
She is persistent.

Ah, well don't worry about it. What you told her already should be enough and you don't owe her any other explanation. I had a patient do the same thing to me with a heavily scented orange fragranced lotion (don't recall the name other than it had the word "Posh" something on the label).

If someone gets mad at you because you don't want to buy their stuff, then they aren't the kind of person you want to have as a friend.

My lines are:
-- I can see why you like it but I am on a strict budget and can't buy anything for awhile.
-- I appreciate you letting me try it but I get all of my lotions from my dermatologist because of my allergies
-- I don't buy products until I need them and right now I am pretty well stocked up on lotion.
Anything I need to say to extricate myself.

"No" is a complete sentence. Sometimes I follow it up with "thank you," but only if I'm feeling nice that day.

MLM people are pressured to make those sales. I had a woman in Calif. repeatedly calling me in Oregon, trying to sell me cosmetics.
She's trying to guilt you into buying, so just tell her you are not going to buy again, ever.

"No" is a complete sentence. Sometimes I follow it up with "thank you," but only if I'm feeling nice that day. The follow up message with "I thought you 'loved' it" comment really pissed me off. I have been away. She emails me the day after I get back and I am really sick and don't want to deal with a pushy sales person yesterday OR today. I think she will leave me alone now otherwise she will go on ignore. |

Smelly stuff like that gives me a headache. I can like it at first, but it lingers in the air and then my head starts to hurt. Plus most of that stuff is just too expensive, They are trying to pay too many people a salary from one small product. Clearly if she is pissed, she is using you.

Anything I need to say to extricate myself. I am known for saying similar things. To marketers, people I wish to avoid and unfriend, even people who have messed me around. Twice recently (at least) this has come back to bite me in the a$$ and I have wished I had been my normal blunt self. I don't have a final position on this yet, OP, I will watch your thread. |

Ask her what part of 'No thank you' she is having trouble understanding.

I don't see anything wrong with saying, at first I really liked it and then when I tried it again later it really didn't work for me the way I had hoped, thanks anyway.
