Wow! I can not believe how people (companies) do not take responsibility. I had a web order of $177.00 that included some HWC items. The person they were going to is a good friend and customer. The order was turned in on the 31st of May and HO sent the order out on the 4th supposedly being...

Anyone have any experience with Labyrinthitis? I was diagnosed with it last week and told it could last from a few days up to a few months. I have been getting progressively better until about a half hour ago when I was goofing around with my son and got a bad case of the dizzies again. I...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'll admit it, I'm just being lazy, or just too tired to search for it. I met someone the other day and they were complaining about not being able to find a job. So, I broached the subject of PC. She was friendly enough and we chatted. When I...

at the travelodge for Wave 3?

This Saturday I went to class were our Senior Director came to talk to the two clusters in our area to help us with our sales and recruiting. I showed up late because my boys had baseball game. I could feel that the room was getting down to it's last leg. I'm full of energy and want to...

So I went to the Tracy Williams Conference last night. I have NEVER been to a PC Conference before, so I went with an open mind and ready to devore whatever was said. UGH, She was awesome!!! I wish I could have recorded her and taken her home with me. She is so inspirational, and motivates...

My youngest DS will be 14 on Sunday. He had a sleep over last night and I had 10 teenage boys in my house ranging from 13 to 16. Talk about loud bottomless pits lol. For breakfast I made 2 dozen eggs, 2 pounds bacon, 1 pound sausage, pancakes and a family skillet full of potatoes and onions. Not...

I don't know if I just got lucky or HO is finally working out someof it's latest shipping quirks, but I just sent in a show yesterday and it was shipped out today and set to deliver tomorrow!!!! (I haven't even been to the bank yet to deposit the checks...holy cow!) That is what I call fast...

I held a cooking show for my sis-in-law last night. Even though I have been trying to get out of the family and friends loop it worked out great. One of her friends brought a friend who is all about PC and decided she wanted 2 pieces of stoneware at 60% off (mainly the deep covered baker) so she...

so, I just got home from a show. It was one of the ODDEST... The hostess is very softspoken and I had to drag a decision out of her regarding recipes. That was the beginning. So I get there today and she says that 6 or 7 are expected. Ok...average. Anyway, these ladies get there and are...

Just had my first show and it went well. I had 6 ladies and have $300 in sales and waiting on a few outside orders. I was extremely nervous, I don't know how you guys get out there and do this. I'm sure it will pass but I definately felt like everyone could see me shaking in my shoes. It was...

Ok...I'm going through my first experience with Fed Ex and having to return a product and already HATE it. First I have to fill out this form and then take the form AND the product package to a Fed Ex Counter so that they can create a label and then ship it out. The closest counter to me is in...

UPS! I am so sad we aren't going through them anymore! I went in today to send a Host Packet out. The girl was super nice, and I mentioned something about PC. She never heard of it, so I told her some stuff, Asked her if she would be interested in more info and she filled out a drawing...

I have a show Saturday with a perfect host for once!!! I originally wasn't going to take the show because I am afraid to drive in big city traffic and her house will be about an hour drive. My husband backed me into a corner and said that I can't expect my business to grow unless I am willing...

I didn't know which category to put this in. Oh my gosh, I was baking my dinner in the Cranberry DDB when I heard a loud ping in my oven. I pulled my bacon roast out of the oven and saw the cracks.EEEEEK. I use that piece at all my shows. How would it have happened??? What do I do now?? I am...

Has anyone ever participated in a Quarter Auction?? If so, what was your experience and what kind of products did you take with you???

I recently have moved to OK and I didn't know very many people. I listened to the tape "Move it and you won't lose it" And got the idea of going door to door in my new neighborhood (or any neighborhood that I wanted to do business in) And introducing myself as a consultant for PC, making sure...

I have a hot recriut lead, but she sold Partylite before and wasted a ton of time and money! What can I tell her to show her that PC is different and better??

I have a guest who mentioned that she had burned one of her bamboo pieces. Is that under warranty to resist or not burn? She wasn't too concerned, but I was curious.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a thread relating to a show that Tom Marston does - Express shows or something to that nature. Consultants were planning on attending this and were going to post some information on this but I can't seem to find this information - has anybody ever attending one of...

My first fair experience has been horrible. To start off, they put me in an alleyway and no one hardly came down it. So, I put my children to work and had them take flyers to the beginning of the alleyway and hand them out to people and tell them about the drawing for a free cooking show...

My mother hasn't been that supportive of the whole Pampered Chef thing. I finally convinced her to have a catalog show for me this month. The sales were only around 300, but she was impressed that she could get the self sharpening knives for half price and she liked all the free stuff. I think...

I called this morning because for the 4th or 5th time in a few months, I've had to make an adjustment on an adjusment. Meaning that I had a problem (broken product, incorrect product, whatever) and then I did the adjustment, but when the adjustment arrived, I received the wrong thing. Today...

Ok so I'm having a bit of a slump this week. To begin my contract job finished up last Friday. So I'm on the umemployment list again hunting hard all week and throwing out resumes left right and center!!! I had my first show Saturday night past. We thought there would be more people coming...

Well I had my first cooking show on Sat for a co-worker. She only had 3 guests and they brought a baby with them, so there went the show. One lady seemed to have everything in the book but was just buying something for the MIL. I am hoping that I will get better at this with time. You really...

How often do host's have items missing in their shipment? It seems that I have had about 1/2 of my hosts in the past 6 months have at least one item missing or 1 item broken. I feel like the product adjustment queen. What has everone elses experience been? :o

I made this last night and thought it was pretty good and my kids loved it!! they said it tasted like ravioli ( i used the marinara sauce). anyways my question is that it was SO STICKY!! me, my daughter who was helping, and my kitchen turned into flour puffs!! i kept adding additional flour to...

I just did a show the other night for a girl who is a sophomore in high school and it was a really good show! Her sales weren't over the top (around $400), but I was impressed that she took care of everything. She is the one I contacted about the date, recipes, and ingredients. She had the...

So, I had 3 shows booked & should of closed last night so I would get the incentive - the new stoneware, however, 2 of the Hosts can't return emails or calls? Why is something so simple, like picking up the phone or sending an email when we've already arranged to close the show on a certain...
