I have started mailing a packet to all mothers of the brides to be listed in our paper. I do not know any of these people just found the info in our engagement listings. I look up their address in the phone book or if not there goggle them. My question is would you call them about a week or...

I just had a call from HO - not the 888 number, this one displayed the 630 area code and the caller ID name was displayed as "Pampered Chef". I said hello @ 5 times then hung-up. As soon as I hung it up, I thought maybe they were calling us with recorded messages again and that I might should...

I have a lead who loves our products and the idea of doing cooking shows, but is totally not sure about how "her people" (her words not mine) will respond to our recipes. I've explained that we have recipes designed specifically for the latino market. I've even given her a copy of the Spanish...

I opened a new e-mail account through Embarq and forwarded my Tasty Tidbits e-mail. Well, the Quick Bites one went through, the Tasty Tidbits did not. They're both from the same e-mail account, right? It says "Your email was rejected for policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to...

We use the automated calling things for our sports programs. We put in the phone numbers, record a personal message (usually game info, practice, etc) and it delivers it. I think it would be a great thing to send out a message in our voices reminding them of the show. Maybe send it out a week...

I have a new consultant that told me to stop calling her so much because she doesn't need help. Well obviously she does because she's had 3 shows where no one showed up and we're now past her 30 days. Well that's fine...I can let that go. What I'm frustrated about is I just received an email...

I have a show coming up and I need an idea for a good recipe that doesn't require any oven or microwave. I can pre-baked a crust or something, but I wanted to know if anyone had any good ideas. I have the recipe for Clubhouse Chicken Squares and Cool Veggie Pizza, anything else? I know you all...

First, let me say that my idea of camping is a Holiday Inn.....BUT, we want to spend more than just a say or 2 at the beach in North Carolina, so I am looking into camping. There is a KOA very close to where we want to be and it has something called "kottages" and "lodges".....anyone ever...

My director gave me a list of my former recruits leads. I need to get off my duff and call them, but I am at a loss for words as to what to say. Any ideas?

I earned the $300.00 in conference cash this year! What I want to know is... how do you go about getting this and is it easy to use? Isn't it a visa that they put $300.00 on for you, so you can use it anywhere? Right? Because I'd really like to count on this for quite a bit of my expenses at...

Please help. For those of you that have ever dealt with a deployment, would you mind talking to me? I really need someone who has been through what I am going through to talk to, to find out if the feelings I am having are normal. Why I get so frustrated and cry so freaking much all the time...

I have 8 active on my team and 7 of them are in their first month-6months. NOBODY came on my calling blitz tonight! I sent out an email last week and made reminder calls today. UGH! They are doing okay (some are VERY part time) but I can't get it through them that they can do what I am...

How many times do you call a past guest and leave a message? I am just wondering... I have tried certain guests at different times during the day and always get a machine. how many times is too many?

Back in September, I did 2 booths. I got a lot of leads. Some have lead to bookings and online orders, but I didn't call any of my recruit leads. My main reason for not was b/c I was still very new to the business, and I wasn't confident enough in myself on explaining the benefits of PC. I also...

I have a bunch of trade show follow up I want to do...but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to call people today. I asked my mom since she's the etiquette lady and she said no...but I thought I'd check here too.

My Host just told me that none of the free spreaders were in her order? I put them on each of the orders in Pampered Partner? Why would they all be missing? This is so frustrating. Guess I will have to call HO and now she will have to call all the guests just to pick up thier little spreaders.
