What is frustrated: Definition and 151 Discussions

I am a newly-wed (11-12-05) Whle my hubby and I were getting to know each other I was a participant in Team in Training - A program that helps people train for endurance events like marathons, triathlons and in return they raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society :D About a month...

Hello, I am a member and have paid the fee a while ago but everytime I try to open a file lately it won't let me. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Also does everyone else have to sign in 3 or 4 times or everytime you go to a new screen? I find that pretty annoying! Thanks,

:mad: Frusterated I had my first show last night. It was going OK until one of the girls came in with her baby. Then the conversation went onto the kids and no one was paying attention. I mean basicly it was practice for me. But how do I make it clear and not being rude that kids shouldn't...

UGGGGG I am so mad! Just got home from a show where I sold 6 QSP's with the $60 purchase. I am in my kitchen washing dishes - filled the sink with warm (not hot) water. Put in my dishes to wash - lifted the QSP lid and pluger out and the plunger part is totally bent almost like an "L". I...

OK, I'm really just venting here, but I'm so frustrated...... My last two shows were from the same Host. (She's my husband’s cousin.) She was a mystery host from a BINGO in May because she wanted some FREE Stuff. BUT, she really never qualified for a $150 show. I had $100 in orders from...

Hi, Just need to vent.... I got my personal website not long ago, and am now very frustrated with the limitations--and almost lost a customer because of it! One of my husband's coworkers was looking for my personal website by doing a search from the main Pampered Chef Website--and could...

Hello, I am feeling really frustrated and wondering if I can do this or if this is really for me. I actually broke down in tears today. I am doing everythig that I can to get bookings, but I can't seem to pin down dates with anyone. They say, I have to check my calander. And when I call...

Anybody have any tips for using the EAD? I have a customer that is frustrated with hers. I feel like it's pretty straight forward, lol. She was filling manicotti with it. I told her it may take some practice to get used to it. Any tips to help her out? Thanks Becca

Okay here is my loongg story. I signed my first recruit the last part of March. She was very excited about the opportunity and didn't even use any of her host credit on the kit. She wanted to use it for extras for her business. I thought this was going to be great and she would be an...

I've got a repeat customer who at a show at end of March ordered the Rice Cooker and in mid April finally used it for first time, well it MELTED in her microwave, almost cost on fire and microwave still smells of melted plastic when you use it. She put it in for 15 minutes with half a batch of...

I have to vent. Last week (Thur or Fri) I had a guest trying to place an order online for my fundraiser. Well, it wouldn't let her and she ended up accidently doing and individual order by mistake. We found out within a hour or two. I was told she had 72 hours to cancel. She called PC within 3...

So I have this hostess who had a party the middle of March. I played phone tag with her for almost a month, so I finally met up with her at her friends show. She is ready to close her show at the $400 level and places a $400 for herself (Plus $608 in cookware value for me). So we decide that I'm...

Ok - I had a show on April 8 and I really wasn't crazy about the host. Weird doesn't even begin to describe her. Host coaching calls were a flop - but she insisted that everything was fine. I called to discuss recipes and she had a list of items (probably 6) she wanted prepared. I politely...

I swear the phone is NOT my FRIEND! I have the bad case of the phone phobia to begin with. So making calls is hard in the first place but I swear every time I go to call (usually in the evening between 5:30-7pm ) I get no answers from mosts, if not all these people! And I hate calling after...

Okay, maybe it is because my last 2 shows were friends, but they have only had 6 or less guests show up. I have been giving out 2 catalogs and alot of order forms so my hosts can get as many outside orders as possible. I even give my hosts my website address to give out. None of them have had...

I opened two shows 3 weeks ago. Both hosts from 1 show I did. I have called each of them 6 times to get updates! Morning, noon, nights, weekends, left messages and no word from one of them and 1 keeps saying she will call back but Never does!:( So frustrated! I think I am giving up on them...

I was just curious about the Cluster News on CC, has anyone tried to use it? I have tried to do a newsletter on it, this being my first one as a Director, and I keep getting these errors. It is very frustrating:mad: ! It tells me I have to use these codes and when I try to use them it still...

OK, I've tried placing a supply order for the Spring/Summer paperwork on Pampered Partner and I'm getting very aggravated. Can someone please tell me how you ordered yours - like a step by step thing. It looks like I'm ordering the fall/winter products and not the spring/summer. Do I have to...

I don't know if this is the place to post my frustration... But I'll give it a try. I've had a couple of hosts this month that won't return my calls. I have a host to moved her show from the 11th (because she was too busy) to the 25th. I've called her once a day for the last two to three days...

Okay, so February is my first SS month and I should have bookings but alas I don't. My family made commitments to help me fulfill my contract but I they aren't following through and are actually starting to avoid me. Very frustrating. I am really starting to worry about how I am going to get the...

Well, I had my express show this past Friday and it was a flop (sort of) - The host only ended up having TWO PEOPLE, UGGGGHHHH. The good thing is that's she's only $15 away from it being a submittable show, the bad thing is that I didn't get ANY bookings, so now my calender is completely empty...

I am trying to put an order through and having no luck. It was a catalog show that didn't go well. It ended up being $80. I can't put it through because its under $150. I also can't get the sweetheart towels to go on for her (ended up adding her's and her mom's as one indiv. order) Why won't...

Normally, I'd have nothing but great things to say about PC customer service, but today I have to make an exception. I had a host (Kari) who ordered the small striped bowls and caddy as her past host bonus in November. The show closed and shipped to the host December 14. The bowls/caddy were a...

I have had my cookie press for about a year and have not had the opportunity to use it. I was going to do a cookie party last Christmas, but never got around to it and now I am glad I didn't! It doesn't work! The handle just cranks and only compresses every third or fourth squeeze and the...

:mad: Has anyone else had this problem.......I am using PP5.0 and when I try to install the 5.2 is comes up with "Component Transfer Error:1" and closes. So now I can't transfer and of my shows............... :mad:

Hi - I signed at the beginning of March and my original bookings either cancelled, or turned out to be catalog shows due to host emergencies, etc. I had one KS that didn't cancel but after driving 2 hours to get there, nobody showed up! :mad: Other than that 1 non-party, I have only had 4...

In the past month I've had 3 shows cancel (actually 1 rebooked and 1 will rebook, she's waiting for her hubby's health to improve). Not letting that get me down I pushed for some catalogue sales and got enough to count as a show. I then got what I thought was a "brilliant" idea to host my own...

I started with PC about 1 year ago. Three months ago I moved to Winona, MN. I had an open house, I've posted a flyer at the only grocery store w/a bulletin board, made "Out of the Box" calls to the guests from the open house, and posted my business cards at some local businesses. I had one...

:eek: I am about to throw my computer out of the door!!! I got frustrated because I couldn't update the new product list. I uninstalled and reinstalled Pampered Partner. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! I have pampered partner back on, but it won't update. It will start to update and then it asks me to...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, ok I still don't feel better. I want to strangle that host. It has been a month and NOW she calls me back. Her show was delivered on the 13th of JUNE! Before I even got the show closed, (I ended up adding to it just to make it a...
