We reacquainted for a while before she started selling this product. I think she’s just over enthusiastic because it’s new to her and she really wants to help her family make money. She lives in one of the most financially strapped states and couldn’t find a job after graduating.

I would rather she was selling Amway, at least they have products I can use. I just don’t want her to be someone I want to avoid.

By your own admission, you are avoiding her already.

I am, and I’m sad that things are going to be like this if she doesn’t settle down with the aggressive sales tactics.
