What is hosts: Definition and 200 Discussions

We've always told our hosts to invite everybody ... but ....Here's a long story about a family that has hosted several shows for me in the past year. I just got the guest list from my current host, and it omits her niece (a past host of mine) and the current host's sister-in-law and mother-in...

I have a potential recruit that is also a personal chef. She would like to help her PC biz by showcasing her PC products while doing cooking classes. She already hosts cooking classes at her home without PC. She wants to know if it is ok to serve what they cook on plain dishes. (non pc) She...

I just got back from pitching a fundraiser to the Women's Auxillary of our local Volunteer Fire Department- (Janet, you might be able to give me insight on this) It was their monthly meeting at the Fire House, and I discussed fundraiser options, and then made them the Peanut Butter Brownie...

I just posted these on CS but thought I'd put them here too for those of you who aren't on both sites. These are a great tool for keeping up with your January hosts through the holidays. Nothing is updated from 2007 so be sure to change info where necessary.

I thought I had these saved, but now can't find them...and I did do a search in the files here, because I know I got them from here - but I'm not sure how to search for them (Seems like they were all downloaded separately) But does anyone have the files of the Series of letters to send in...

I have a host who has not had her show yet, however she already told her friend about PC and now the friend contacted me about a show and we have a date planned. Do I need to make sure the booking box (bottom right hand corner of the main show page) is checked in order for the first host to get...

I just had to share the email I just got from a Past Power Cooking Host....a couple months after her show, she referred me to a friend of hers, who booked a Real Foods Real Fast Show for next week (so far expecting 17!). Anyway - I'm going to start using the first part of this email as a...

Howdy: I have a frustrated host on my hands. When we wrapped up her show last night, she said she would send me a check for her order. I told her I was going to submit the show that night and did submit her show around 10pm CST. Today, she called saying she changed her mind and wants to...

I have some hosts coming up who I've already given SB's to. So, now what? Do you have a favorite thing to give in this situation? Should I put together a couple things and let her choose? :confused:

Are these available for customers (or hosts, for that matter) to purchase? I didn't think so, but I wanted to be forarmed in case of questions....

Help!!! I have a host who wants to do something different than a baby shower. She wants to do a "Mommy Shower"! Do I do it like a baby shower? Or do I do it like a wedding shower, so that the mommy can get things that she needs to make her life easier? HELP!!! I don't know what to do!:confused:

I have a host that had $600 in sales at her show and earned the Bamboo Bowl. There's no item number listed on the flyer to put it on her host order. Is it something that'll she'll receive automatically from HO? I would feel better if it's something I can receipt for her should she have a...

I am kinda upset...I had 3 shows in August, and I am having a hard time getting 2 of them to close by tonight!! I'm gonna lose out on at least 200 points for this month because the shows need to be submitted...and from reading the fine print, I don't think the sales will carry over into next...

I have a wonderful past host, who has become a friend, and she has been a great boost for my business. I have several repeat hosts, and now 2 recruits that stem from her hosting. (I've tried to recruit her on an ongoing basis - but she just wants to host.) This week, a friend of hers decided...

How do I find hosts who said they'd book a show, or hosts who rebooked? I entered them in at the time I was doing shows, so now how do I find the ones that might be coming up?

Hi Guys... How do you guys feel about recurrent hosts... :love: Since February, there has been the one demo show and 3 catalog shows, and now another upcoming cooking show in October... The first show was decent followed by the cattys which were qualifing to decent but under 300, and one...

Can a host book off of herself and get more than one host special that month by placing two separate orders? I just did a show on Friday and my host wants to book for November also since she didn't get all the people she wanted to show up at this show for the next show. But she wants to know if...

One of my team members was at Conference with me, but at a workshop someone described a flyer they found on here about 2 kinds of hosts. They said it described one host who cleaned her house and worried about basically everything except inviting her guests and making reminder calls for her...

I can't seem to find any of my FR hosts in the host look up on CC. Do they get a Past Host number and discount?

Why don't people listen?? :grumpy: I ALWAYS stress to my hosts that they should send their friends to my website to see the catalog and order on their show. I TELL the host to tell them to put the host name in the screen to get to her show and I put their name as SHE GAVE IT TO ME on that same...

I'm brainstorming of doing a big event here at my house, in honor of my first year with PC...and I was going to make many great recipes, have it be really FUN and invite all past hosts..honoring them basically.. Anyone else ever done this? Success? Tips? Did you make it into a great marketing...

:cry: Hi, I am new to Chefsuccess and also to PC! I am on my 3rd show, and I am getting so discouraged with hosts that are uncoachable. I tell them to invite 40 people, then when I call the second and third time, they say they invited 10 people!! Then only 4 show up at the show--UGHH...

With all the talk of theme shows and power cooking ... I am finding myself sending recipe lists to my hosts that may seem just a bit overwhelming! Can someone please suggest to me some fun, easy, popular recipes to pitch to hosts? I was thinking of keeping it simple .. three themes with...

My June 8 host's husband put their ice cream scoop in the dishwasher so she bought one from me ... and scheduled a party. Today, she told me he just dishwashed their scoop again! It is only 3 months and probably is under guarantee, but she was so mad at him she told him to toss it...

ok i need some help with this letter. just wanting some constructive critisim! look over this letter and tell me what you think. this is the letter i send hosts with their show packet.

So I have 8 MIA Hosts who originally wanted to schedule for June. I don't normally do/worry about this - but I want a full June b/c of SAT. What do you suggest I do? I have left message (just stating that they were interested in booking a show, I am excited to set a date, and that we have fab...

I've been doing a lot of fairs/events and have suggested web shows for all who have turned down a cooking show. I have 20 or so names of people who are interested but I don't have a flier or anything to send them with all the information about hosting an online type show. does anyone have...

I rather just cancel the show than to deal with a rude host. I got into this group of hosts that are more rude than the last. They are either good friends of each other or related. The last two were the worst. While I was host coaching Kelly I asked how the RSVPs were coming, she told me not...

What do you do differently for a repeat host? I have a couple hosts who have several parties with me in a year (this current host is going to have her third party since August!). I just feel like alot of the stuff I tell them is repeating what they already now so I try to highlight new things...

How often do you coach catalog hosts? Do you call them often or just let the go until the close date and extend if you have to?
