How do you give your catalogs to guest at your shows? Because this is my problem it seems that everyone wants to just take my catalog and do nothing with it I was thinking of taking than and putting them in a binder or plastic folder and cut them and put in plastic sleeves what do you think?

Hi there! I had a show that was closed yesterday. Now I have 3 more orders that didn't get turned in on time. My host wants to turn it in as an April show. She does not have $150 in orders,will her guests still get the guest special even if it doesn't qualify as a show?

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?

Hi, everyone, I have a friend and co-worker who lives in the US (and his fiancee does too) but is getting married in Canada. The groom's family lives in the US and most of the bride's family is in Canada. I know that someone from Canada can't purchase from a US registry and vice versa. The...

If I register now, can I go back in and register a guest later?

do you send them to the hostess only or the the guests as well?

Okay... there is more to this but I don't want to be long. If you have a guest at a show (that is a former customer) that wants something that will be a future "Host Special"... wouldn't you tell them? This host tonight got a little peeved that I mentioned a future Host Special and then this...

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.

for the first time since i started i am having 12-15 guest at the show tomarrow. never had that. So i am hoping to get a pretty big sale from it being the new stuff is out. and a few bookings never know what can happen. and i sent out invites and put on bring afriend stickers too. so looking to...

Ok, ladies....tell me your experience with inclimate weather ( predicted) and contacting the host..and dealing w/ possible last minute cancellations.. I have a show for Fri 7pm..and it is anticipated that Friday afternoon, we may get 4 inches of snow through the evening. **Mind you when it...

I have my 3rd cooking show scheduled for this Saturday, and last night, I was cutting some carrots with my old knife (not pc) and cut my left index finger really, really badly. And deeper and I would have had to have surgery. I got 5 stitches and strict orders not to move it, it's in a splint...

I have a host who can think of 8 people to invite. Thankfully, she knows that's not enough but she is relatively new to the area and works from home. Does anyone have a list of different guest catagories or inspring email to send her? I'd like to give her a bit of inspiration. THANKS....

I would like to get an idea on how all of you handle checks from guests. For the last 4 years I have had all guests write checks to their Hosts. This way I felt that the guests were more comfortable writing a check to someone they know and it helps me from getting bounced checks since, more...

I have a show coming up that the host would like to do a dessert for. We are inviting 60+ people and she is expecting at least 30 to definitely be able to make it. My thought was to do the warm nutty caramel brownies and just add more rolos in the brownie to make more servings, so everyone...

My aunt, who is one of my biggest customers and a PC fanatic, was thinking about going to conference with me last year but wasn't able to make it. This year we are talking about it again. I was just curious for those who have brought guests before, what do the guests get out of it? I know we...

I'm new to all of this and was wondering what kind of games people play with their guests at their shows. Please share. Thanks!

Recruiting DilemaOk, I'm ready for the constructive criticism I am about to receive for this...bring it on ;). Here is my dilema...I tend to recruit a lot of my hosts. I'm finding this is killing me on the sales aspect of my business! I recruit my hosts, they get all of the bookings and I...

My host for my show tonight just called - she was supposed to have 19 guests - and canceled!:cry: Her son's girlfriend was just in a serious car accident, and is in the hospital with head injuries.......and they won't know for a while if she is going to make it. I feel bad - told her not...

Wondering if anyone would share some suggestions/ideas on give away things for during a cooking show. And what kind of questions would you let the guest pick an item. re: I ask, "Has anyone brought a guest/friend with them that did not receive an invitation from the host?" What are some...

I was wanting to compare my averages for the years since I started PC. I can figure out how to do it by month, but I can't figure out how to get my average show sales or guests number, or guest purchase. Does anyone know where to find it?

Ok~ I can't download the specials (maybe cuz they are PFD). Can anyone tell me what Jan & Feb specials are for guests, hosts, consultants. I can't wait until I can download the PFD files from work. Thanks Katie

I swapped shows with another DS company...I already did my PC show with her so now it is my turn to have her show. So what is the problem? Well the show is supposed to be Sunday at 2:00. I have not recieved a host packet or anything. She emailed last week and said it was in the mail. I hate...

Hi. I need some ideas for fundraising games (or similar) which involve PC products. I am doing a fundraiser at home and have guaranteed 30 guests but it has spiralled a little out of control and they don't want a cooking show, they just want to play games etc. Do any of you have any ideas of...

Hey , I had heard a while back of some people making coupons, and giving them to a guest like a pile on, with the 90$ in free products, 2 1/2 off items, 25% off, 10% off, 60% off certain items apply..?? Any one have anything like that? I know some of you have vista print, i dont have it.. but...

I was wondering how interactive everyone show really is...do you encourage/force people to come up and play with the tools or just ask and talk with the crowd? I have started doing the my recipe before the show and only demo a few items (cookware, knives, mandolin, and few smaller items). I...

I just got off the phone with tomorrow's hostess- she has 16 CONFIRMED guests tomorrow- This show kicks off my 4 shows in 4 days, stint, and it woudl be amazing to start off with a HUGE show!!!

I have read somewhere but can't find this....Someone puts pages of the catalog into sheet protectors and then takes puts it in a folder. This, with various flyers is what guests at the show are given. If you've done/seen this could you give me details... What type folder/binder? What type...

I know I have seen info on here before about calling the guest for the host and I don't remember where it is (old timers I guest). I have a host that I booked and I told her I would call her guests to remind them of the show as a perk to schedule and she took me up on it, no problem. The catch...
