Re: This is why I don't like those at home parties

Not really, it is actually a lia sophia host incentive. Which it sounds like she didn't explain properly. If you host a party, you get to order a piece of jewelry for $15, but you ONLY receive that piece upon hosting. If you want to pay full price for it, I am sure she would give it to you. But the $15 (or $25 for higher end items) you paid for it, was the host incentive price, if you do not host, you do not qualify for the jewelry at the host incentive cost.
if this is the case, she was using the bait and switch tactic. i would contact headquarters. make a copy of receipt and get your money back.
No.

Perhaps you shouldn't insult ALL "those at home parties" when in fact you agreed to host a party, and agreed to pay $15 for an expensive piece of jewelry that you would receive at your party. I don't agree with what she is telling you about being in "jewelry jail" but to lump all "at home parties" into the same group is insulting to those of us who DO direct sales and don't use these tactics. I think unfortunately you did not fully understand what you were getting into? No reason to blame the woman trying to make a living.
She never said she agreed to host a party - she was TOLD she had "won" a party. Sorry, but I don't see how that's a prize. If I offered to host a part, that's one thing, but I would be really pi$$ed if I was told I "have to" have a party - uh. . . I don't think so!
She DID agree to host the party when she agreed to pay the "Hostess Special Price" for a piece of jewelry which is a "Hostess Incentive".
And for the record, I AM taking it personally because she didn't say "Lia Sophia" she said "those at home parties" when in fact not all reps or companies operate the same. She's giving a bad rap to all when in fact, she doesn't want to live up to her end of the agreement she made! Sue me to be offended by a broad statement she made.
She did say Lia Sophia. But regardless, I think you need to grow a bigger backbone.
I would think that a lot of people who sell this stuff KNOW that many people don't want a part of it, and feel there's better ways to make a living then hitting up their friends and family this way, or by having to resort to tactics like the OP mentioned to continue to push the products onto others.
It definitely is Friday around here.

Re: This is why I don't like those at home parties
I've sold for lia sophia & would never do that. I would contact corporate offices bc she can't hold something you paid for. Just bc you won't host a party is absurd. Sounds like this consultant really wants to stir the pot.

Re: This is why I don't like those at home parties
I would contact the company, explain the situation that I bought jewelry (at the host price, I assume) but will not be hosting a party & because of how things were handled, I'd like a refund.
The "jewelry jail" & lack of response by the rep would be enough to make me ensure that she never got any credit for selling anything to me.
FTR, I don't like home parties either. I would rather order from a catalog so a friend gets credit if I'm interested.

I have no idea if I paid a hostess price or not. If I did I'll gladly pay the difference, or be entitled to a refund if I decide not to host a party. I don't want something for a price I'm not entitled to, but I emailed her and haven't gotten any response.
She is not going to refund your money. I dont know why anyone is calling you a liar, since this in fact happened to me. She said I was not entitled to a refund....company policy...so in turn I dont deal with a company whose policy is to steal people's money. Lesson learned

It's not like she called it a pyramid scheme or anything like that. And if she doesn't like "these kinds of parties" so be it. Not everyone does. You're taking it wayyyyy too personally.

Re: This is why I don't like those at home parties
I agree, I would contact the head person about this. It is not right to withhold any items unless you have a party. You paid for the items.

Yes, I must be spineless for pointing out that she is the one in the wrong. Whatever.
If she wanted no part of it, she shouldn't have attended the party, participated in a game offering a party host situation as a prize, and agreed to host by paying for merchandise which was a hostess incentive. End of story.

This is why I don't like those at home parties
Wow. Why on earth would I lie about a piece of crappy jewelry? This particular rep has soured me on home parties because of her tactics. I will take it on the chin that I didn't understand the hostess jewlery gift or whatever it is, and if I don't have a party I don't get my jewelry and it was a waste of money. I gladly attend home parties and have purchased many expensive items and have never once been pressured into hosting a party or been pressued to purchase an item in accordance with hosting a party.
These kinds of reps are the ones who give good home party reps a bad rap. Maybe I shouldn't have called it "those parties" because I've had good experiences up until now, but now I do see why some people dislike them so much.

To me, this is the key to the whole thing. If you have a good product and you're a good salesperson- then you don't resort to tactics like this. Yes, it might have been a hostess special, but its clear that you didn't understand that- so she failed.

I'm so glad you were there and in my brain when this all happened 
ETA: I already stated that if I don't get it because I don't have a party, I totally get that. But I really didn't understand it at the time so just burn me at the stake. There was a lot of commotion and I'd had a couple glasses of wine so I probably wasn't paying as close attention as I should have. What a crime. And besides that, I still think its a lame tactic.

Thank you for saying that it's not all of us 
For the record, I DO feel she should give your money back due to you not being able to host the party. That is the honorable thing to do. I've dealt with a pressuring rep before from a different company and it WAS a turn off. Which is why I vowed NOT to be when I went into direct sales. That's all I was trying to point out. Not to let a sour apple spoil the bunch.

Realistically (and I think most direct-sales reps understand this on some level) a large percentage of party guests do not actually want to be there. They're usually attending as a favor to the hostess, and are only buying out of a sense of obligation. Direct sales parties are like school fundraisers-- everyone knows the stuff is overpriced and mediocre quaility, you are generally buying to be nice.

 I did want to clarify because I know that a lot of women put so much time and effort into building their business that I didn't want to take away from the really good ones out there. I just found this particular tactic sketchy.

This is why I don't like those at home parties
I think there are 3 things you can do--
1. Host a party, but don't invite anyone. You can have an hour long stare down with this woman...
2. Demand a refund since the policy was not explained to you properly.
3. Pay the difference in the jewelry and get your piece.
For the record, I've numbered these in the order I would do them. I have had a few bad experiences with parties --
I went to a passion party and ordered a bunch of stuff and hosted a party. At my party, I was given a free gift because 2 of my friends booked parties. Well, one of my friends was going to host at my house because she lived in PA in a tiny apartment. She got snowed in the day of the party, but I had the party anyway and we just called my sister the host. People bought a lot of stuff at the party (and a lot at my previous party and a lot at the party I went to before that). Well, I couldn't get my free gift because of the technicality that the person who originally booked the party did not "host" it. I was not happy at all. Plus, all of the stuff I'd bought stopped working (after being used no more than a few times). That made me mad and I refuse to go to passion parties anymore -- I wish I had cancelled that last party -- that rep did not deserve my business.
Next was a tupperware party. We played the game where you pick a prize and you might win a party. It was explained well and I decided to play. I "won" hosting a party, but I got to pick a prize for doing it -- it was something I was 100% on board with since there was a set of tupperware I really wanted on the prize table. Well, someone picked that prize and what wasn't explained was there was only 1 of them and I then had to pick something else from the table (there was nothing else I even remotely wanted). Fine, whatever, I picked something else. Then when it came time to pick a weekend to host, she told me I had to host within the next 2 months. Again, that was NOT explained. My first nephew was due, I was newly engaged, I was finishing the school year, I had 2 engagement parties to go to and it was just NOT a good 2 months for me (plus the 2-3 dates I could do, she was booked). I asked if I could do it in October or so (4 months later) and she said I would not get my prize if I did that. She was VERY pushy!!! I told her I no longer wanted to host and she could keep her gift. She lectured me on playing the game even though I wasn't serious. I thought that was ridiculous.
I do enjoy hosting parties and I enjoy going to them, but I will no longer go to Passion parties or Tupperware because of these 2 ladies!!!

Re: This is why I don't like those at home parties
I hate at home parties because I am always poor and always feel like I need to buy something as to not look rude, lol. Then I go home and think "omg i just spent $50 on a necklace that I could have bought at claires for $10". Oh well.
I usually only will go to them to support a friend that is selling stuff, but i loathe them..

This is why I don't like those at home parties
I used to sell Lia Sophia jewelry back in 2010. My memory is a little off but I am pretty sure you don't get the discounted jewelry until you are AT your own party so I'm sure you paid full price. There was a special ONE month where you could get a discounted piece but not a bunch of jewelry. Did you order a couple pieces or just one particular piece?
Go on the website and you can see the price of the piece that you ordered. That will tell you if you paid full price or not . If you paid full price then I would contact Lia Sophia corporate directly and tell them what is going on. Do you have the receipt she gave you as well? You might need proof that you purchased something. If it is a host gift and you got one item at a discounted price then contact the girl and ask if you can pay the full price for the piece. The only problem with that is that it messes up her commission for the original party.
I would DEF put her on blast for being down right rude. Even if you were to pay a host price for a piece of jewelry she should give you other options on how to obtain the jewelry so that you both can move on from this. I know if she is REALLY that animate about you hosting a party, you can do a catalog party. You need $200 in sales for it to be classified as a party (at least that's what is was back in 2010).
I hope this helps a little bit! And good luck with getting your jewelry.

exactly how I feel.
I truly think they would sell a lot more jewelry if they lowered their prices a little. Instead of trying to find the CHEAPEST thing there you'd probably end up spending more on more things. No matter how good they think their stuff is reality is you can find it in most clothing stores for 1/2 the price....therefore you feel like you are being ripped off and don't want to buy anything.
(one of my very good friends is a rep and I went to a party recently where EVERYONE there was saying the same thing).
