What is guests: Definition and 200 Discussions

Bringing guests to the meeting.Do you give a gift to the consultant or to the guest or both to encourage this? What do you give? Do you give anything extra if they sign then?

This is first time I've used my PWS and I'm wondering about online orders. My show is set to close today. After tonight will the guests not be able to order or do I have to delete the show or something? I'm most likely going to submit the show when I get home from my FT tonight - but I don't...

I am having a show tonight with some seasoned guests. They have a show just about every two months. I'm looking for some new jokes. Does anyone have any they would like to share?

Is there any place in P3 to add a follow-up tasks (like CCCs) for guests from the show screen or a way to automatically add this f/u for all guests?

Has anyone ever done a show without actually preparing the recipe in front of the guests? I have a show on Wed. with a ton (25 confirmed) of guests and was wondering about preparing the Colossal Chopped Salad in advance. Maybe serving it and showing some products while they ate and then...

I need fast help!! My business has had a slow start. I have (only) my second cooking show Thursday. This host is an experienced PC junkie. She was a festival/fair booth walk-up. Here's the deal... she wants a catalog overview-type show. I copied all the great ideas from the thread about...

You guys:eek: I couldn't believe it. Saturday when I talked to my host she thought she had 25 coming--great! Then, when I got there last night for the show, she was worried she had 40 coming! She was so worried we wouldn't have enough food. Well, 30 ended up coming--I gave out all the catalogs...

My host tonight is expecting 30+ people!!:eek: :eek: Of course, I know (and almost hope) that it will not be that many people, but she seems to be convinced. She said that she did her reminder calls, and that only 1 person told her that they couldn't make it, and that a few mentioned that they...

I am trying to put in a catalog show - Many of the guests are hving things shipped to their home I am manually setting the tax rate because the county is not showing up for all these people in MI It is not calculating the tax rate. What do I do?? If I can't force it in should I round up so...

Does anyone here do monthly drawings for their hosts and guests? I think I ready something about it on one of the threads. Anyway, I'm thinking aobut doing it, but can't decide how to work it. Should I just enter hosts and guests from that month, or should I also include anyone new who asks...

I have had two guests recently that ordered their items as an online order instead of through their host. They couldn't figure out how to select their host. Anyone else having this issue?:(

The past three cooking shows have had decent attendance (one had 14 and others around 6), but the majority of the guests are not checking out at the end of the show. Instead, they tell the host that they will get their orders to her before she closes. The host is usually disappointed at the...

I am doing a PC Bridal Shower for my step-sister. So because I am the host, I always do favors for the guests. I'm trying to think of a cute idea for a favor using some of the PC door prizes or something like that. Any ideas??

I have a shower on Friday and I had heard somewhere about a "packet" you give guests? What do you all give the guests? Just a catalog and order form or what? Please help, I gotta do this tonight! THANKS!

Did you guys read the Personal Website Subscription Update? Well, if you did, you read it, It'll say: Hosts never pay full price! Host a Show and you can receive FREE, half-price and discounted products of your choice, a 10% discount for a year, plus FREE shipping on your order! And in...

Is it just me, or does everyone have shows where the guests totally don't pay attention? I try to be funny and informative, but the guests want to talk amongst themselves, and get quite loud! So, I just kind of go along and do my thing, and if anyone has any questions, they ask me afterwards...

How do youprint recipts from PPplus... I can not find the option no matter what I do... and it's getting ot the point where I am going to have to hand write them to get them to guest.

So Bry's fam is in town and he invited them over for dinner, which is SO fine with me, I LOVE to have dinner guests, but I HAVE NO IDEA what to make for a crowd, it's usually dinner for 2 or 4 or else Thanksgiving (indefinite!) Every idea I put up, he isn't thrilled with, but he's not helping...

I'm doing a bridal shower for a girl I work with on 03/31/07. She is expecting 200+ people between her family, his family and all the friends of the two of them. We are going to do dips and a couple of recipes ahead of time, but she doesn't want me to prepare anything durng the shower. What else...

I recently started sending thank yous to the guests. I use a form letter similar to the one in PP for the host. I may have even gotten it from here. I sort of like this letter, but I am wondering if it sounds too impersonal. What do you guys think? I just attach it to their sales receipt...

Anyone have a flyer with updated specials for hosts and guests on one page made up yet? I am looking to print these up for my upcoming show, but do not want to use the current ones which have Feb-April. I am looking for April - June. Thanks. Michelle

At my last two shows, I've had quite a few PC 'virgins' - guests who have never heard of PC or have no PC products. One show was very young and the other had several non-Americans or just had never been to a show. What do you say when you have quite a few people, for whatever reason, have never...

Not sure if this is the right place, so please feel free to move it. :) I have a customer who wants to order about $250 in products. I have no other people interested in placing an order this month, and believe me I have asked around. Can I submit this person's order as a show with her as...

I am getting folders ready for a party on Friday, trying something new. I would like to have one of our catalogs, a pen, a blank piece of paper (for notes) and then some flyers but I am not sure what flyers I should put in them. Any suggestions, with the actual flyer Please! LOL! Thanks...

I was thinking of putting together a list of items that are "must haves" to give with my guest folders. Things like: scrapers, the 1.25 paring knives, batter bowl, seasons best, garlic press, ice cream scoop....Does anyone do that? Anybody have a list of things already or is there one on here?

Hey Everyone! Just got back in from my cooking show I did this evening and I have a question for everyone: How to you keep people's attention?? They were fine (after they finally settled into a seat) for about 5 mins, then I lost them again. Two babies there, kids, maybe about 6 guests...

What do you say to encourage guests to help out with their tips on products & stuff, I have candy to pass out for the tips, my consultant did this at my show I hosted. I just want a fun catchy saying to bring up to encourage my guest to talk about the stuff :)

Attached is a flyer I got from another Director, J Lynette Reinford, to give out to Feb guests at our shows...I have printed it on bright yellow paper...Jilleysue, you'll need to add your purple frame to it ;)

Hello! I recieved my catalog tote and lapboards from expressyourself and I absolutely love them!! I'm so excited and I'm sure it will make me look even more professional!! Now I'm at a loss as to what I should put in them besides the special, drawing/info slip, catalog, order form...

I am having my first cooking show in Feb. and just sent catalogs to a few people that won't be able to make it. BUT I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE GUEST'S SPECIAL!! Sometimes I am just brain dead!! :eek:
