What is hosting: Definition and 200 Discussions

I am brand new. I am really excited about starting my business!! I will be signing next month. I am just trying to get everything organized before I do. I want to make a flyer about the benefits of hosting a catalog show, that I want to place in all of my catalogs:blushing:. I see a lot of...

Does anyone have a show outline for the cool veggie pizza? My hostess for tomorrow evening has asked me to make it. She just loves it. t looks simple. I've never made it. Can anyone help me? Any tips? Any recipe adjustments?

Is there a generic flyer out there somewhere that explains why someone would want to host, showing what the benefits are? I didn't want to recreate the wheel... I have someone who I'm e-mailing (don't have a phone # for) about fundraising info and regular hosting. I've included the...

One of my downline got this. I haven't received any email yet????? Hosting your own Cooking Show is a great way to increase sales, bookings and recruiting leads. From April 27 to May 3, we're making it even more fun and exciting for you and your guests. Between April 27 and May 3, we're...

This is my first show order, consultant as host, how do you use your free product $? Or, do you have to use them now? Thanks so much

I tried mine for the first time tonight. I didn't get any on the book bookings but two "call me later" (it is a great group of repeat hosts so I know they will book). I did like it though, it flowed easy, got their attention during the booking talk. I asked a few of the gals after the show...

I am fairly new and this will be my first year filing taxes for PC....I have had several shows since I started where I was both the host and the consultant. Since I earned free and discounted product and used those benefits is that information included on the 1099 that I'll receive from Home...

I am so excited & I can't keep it in anymore!! I am going to host my own show in February so I can get the knife block set for 60% off!! I love our knives, but am too cheap to buy them. It's a personal investment for me. & I also plan on letting everyone at my Jan shows how excited I am so they...

I am for the first time host a family holiday event. Christmas brunch... need help with the menu planning. Its 14 people and half of them are kids. I know I want to do Ham and Cheese brunch Squares (sub sausage) but thats it so far...

I've closed 5 parties in the past week, and most of them have shipped and are arriving. Since these were my first shows, I'm screwing up left and right, but not all of its my fault. I've had to make 2 adjustments on one show today, I've had my first credit card declined, and I still have 2 shows...

Okay so my upline sent out emails to our contacts about mystery host shows raffling the benefits of a 1,000 show. I have 10 contacts that are each to get $100 in orders and if they get $150 or more it puts their name in the drawing again. We are supposed to draw for the free product, half...

Hello Everyone. I was thinking of having an Open House/Grand Opening/Holiday Cooking Show w Power cooking w Chicken, December 13 at my new home. On these threads it seems like everyone's Open House experiences around the holidays have not been that great. I have 3 upcoming parties in the area...

How do you do Holiday Shows? I would love to offer these, but am kind of clueless at how the format of the show should be. I would love to hear how you do it and what you feel is most successful. TIA!

Hi all! I was talking with Mofia earlier today and she came up with a brilliant idea for a thread. During the checkouts at my shows, I always ask if the customer would like to take home information about the Pampered Chef business opporunity and then if she/he would like to host a show...

I met a host at a Farmer's Market and she filled out a PDS indicating she was interested in hosting a show. So, I called her the next day and we scheduled a party. I drop off the host packet at her house and she tells me she wants to send out her own invitations and had several friends...

Has anyone got their free Pumpkin Dish for hosting 2 shows in July??

Hi Everyone, A couple of weeks ago I read a thread where someone posted a 3 step guide to hosting a show. She mentioned that she included this in her catalogues as sometimes people are interested in hosting but are not really sure what's involved. I can't seem to find this anywhere. Does...

do you hit up your neighbors to do shows? I just moved here two months ago and we live on a long street. I was thinking of trying to do up a flyer or something letting them know I am a consultant. How do you get it to them though? Do you go door to door?

I am new at this and learning something every day! I ordered the decals from Merrill for my car and didn't realize that some states have rules about these things. So I looked all over the internet and since I live in an unincorporated part of the county I don't need a business license so I...

I have been thinking about doing a online show. Maybe something like a chat room setting? I have a lot of out of town friends and family, and thought this might be a fun format. I could give cooking tips etc. Has anyone done this before or have any suggestions on how to do it? Thanks...

OK, I have several potential hosts interested in the Sept. host special (which shall remain un-named for those in wave 3). I am due with my second son mid september so was not really planning on doing much, but this special is too good not to. I'm already planning an open house in Nov. for...

I see that a lot of you have catalog shows on the go. That's something I hardly ever do, so I'm wondering if you guys have any tips on getting them. I'm always focusing on kitchen shows and know that I'm missing the boat here! :rolleyes:

I did a cooking show back in April for a Cookie Lee consultant. Her sister in law is also a CL consultant and was at the show. At checkout I asked the SIL if she was interested in hosting a show also and she said "yes". I did assume it was only to "help" out her SIL so she could get the future...

When I put the info into my PWS and add the co-host information, can the co-host also send out online invites from there? Will it show her name and info for her contacts? This is my first show with a co-host and I don't want to tell her the wrong thing. Thanks everyone!

okay since I have only done two shows and both were at my house, I dont know how this goes.. when you host a show what do you do with the dirty dishes and stuff you use during the show?

if someone hosts a show and they only have say $120.00 in sales or something? I read that if they dont hit the $150 then it doesnt count, so does that mean they don't get anything for doing the show? Also, do we get paid a commission if its not $150 or more?

"My house/kitchen is too small!" - Has anyone else had a potential Host use this line as their excuse/objection as to NOT host a Show? What can I say to reassure them?

I have a customer who is wanting to host a party but not until the new catalogs come in. Does anyone know when that my be? I just signed up this week and didn't know?

I would like to know if anyone has offered their host a online show if so how do you do from start to end?
