my neighbour started to work as a herbalife representative. she also sells tupperware for a longer time. as the women of you all will know, the main thing about this thing is that u have to make parties and invite friends, that they may buy. well, these products may be really good, but they are also quite expensive. i bought now also some herbalife products, but my neighbour comes to me now every second day to convince me to buy more or make an own party or. i dont want to get involved in this and just buy things because she is my neighbour, but I also dont want to hurt her. How i get out of here? what i tell her when she comes next time?

Just tell her that you really need money and you can't afford to buy what they are selling on you and you have something to buy that most important than on what they are selling.
Tell tell her that you hopes that they will understand you as you also need money this time.
Then that's it, i hope it helps.
Cheers and have a nice day ahead from Francis.

LOL. I just thought of my mom when I opened this discussion. She has a tendency to buy things that are offered to her by people she knows. She couldn't say no to these people because she knows them pretty well. I always tease her about being gullible. As for me, if I don't want something even if it is sold by a closest friend, I'd flat out say no. Just tell him you couldn't afford it.

i'd just tell her flat out i can't afford these things right now,and you can't commit the time to sales.otherwise,she'll probably keep asking.

If I were in your position I'd tell her very nicely that I wasn't 'in a position' to be either buying products or hosting parties -- sometimes you just have to be polite but firm.
I've noticed people that sell things from home (Mary Kay, tupperware, candlelite, etc) tend to hone in on one or two people close to them to make up the majority of their sales. It's important that you establish that you don't intend to become her 'most valuable customer' but without hurting her feelings, so I'd just tell her you're not really interested.
