...that she can't do a catalog show like she was going to, because she found out one of her co-workers MOM is a consultant, and she doesn't want to intrude on her 'territory'?? I understand if the co-worker was a consultant, but her MOM? I wasn't sure how to respond, so I didn't push it...

I had a show in November and the host had a ton of outside orders. She had one person not place an order, but instead said she wanted to book a show. I have been unsuccessful at reaching her so I thought I'd send her an e-mail about the new products in March and build up excitement about...

I was just reading through the lists people are passing around. Many of them seem funny and very innocent, but I'm not so sure. I try to be careful with personal info, so I was a little unsure of listing my maiden name with my married name. I worried someone would have access to my kids...

Anyone have one of these? Apparently they are really small laptops? Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Laptop / Netbook Can they handle P3? I think I want one!!

Okay, so I have my first show this Friday! YAY! Anyway, I keep hearing about this "booking slide" and am wondering what that is! Can someone please explain? Thanks. Also, what are some good games to play? I know about the one where you have a product and people pass it every time you say a...

I did a show in October and had one guest actually beat me to the punch about the business opportunity. She sounded really excited and just loves PC. I sent her home with the DVD and a brochure. Then I tried contacting her by phone a few days later. Couldn't reach her even after a few days...

I finally got a show booked for a great customer of mine at work that works for the local cable company. She wants to invite everyone that she works with (60+ people). Oh my goodness.....!!!! Anyone with recommendations on inviting such a large crowd? She then mentioned that she has a...

Does anyone have a letter than can be sent to potential sponsors for a PC bingo event?

So - what do you think will happen if the recipe called for a tsp. of baking powder, and I used a tsp. of baking soda instead? I just mixed up a batch of sugar cookies, using a new recipe - and I didn't read the recipe right. Didn't notice it was powder, and not soda, until they were mixed...

I had a couple Nov. shows that were pretty big and busy that I wasn't able to really go over the benefits of hosting. A couple people said that maybe after the holidays they'd think about hosting. I was wondering if I should call them this week, so that maybe I can get some January shows for...

At almost all my November shows, everyone who expressed interest in booking said they didn't want to think about it until after the holidays are over. So my calendar is really empty right now. I tried to encourage catalog shows and last minute Christmas present shows, but no takers for...

I have been trying to think of ways to generate some additional bookings for the remainder of November and all of December. I have an idea of sending a personal email to each individual on my email mailing list asking them if they would like to host a Cooking or Catalog show in one of the two...

At my daughter's dance class tonight I was talking with the office manager. Not only does she want to do a catalog show so she can get the DCB, but she wants info on possibly doing a PC bridal shower for one of the studio teachers! She wants me to bring her stuff for a catalog show tomorrow...

Anyone?? :)

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...

Does anyone have a flyer/letter/e-mail text that you use when you are following up with a new lead? It's happened to me a couple times when I'm out and about that someone asks about a catalog or interest in ordering. They give me their e-mail address and I tell them I'll send them some...

I have two different host that put down they wanted to do shows towards the end of the year. Does anyone have letters theyve used to send. I dont have numbers or email only addresses. I Would love to see a sample!:blushing:

I just did a Bridal event and made many contacts. I have already sent out emails to invite them to visit my website, but I am going to begin calling them. What should I say to sound professional, to the point, and keep them interested in having a Bridal shower and a registry with The Pampered Chef?:

Tonight I was good and made my 3 contacts and than some. Well I called a woman who marked on her drawing slip that she'd be in terested in a catalog show. She said she was but she was in the process of filing for bankruptcy due to her disability. It turns out she has MS. Needless to say the...

I have some potential recruits from a booth I did this weekend. I want to call them but don't want to forget anything in the first call. I have the consultants corner one and the one from our binder but is there one that's a little more personable. Those I have a hard time with. They don't seem...

Do a show for a potential recruit and just give that show to her?? It will help her jumpstart qualifying and commission right off the bat! I'm all about helping her qualify!:rolleyes:

Back in November 07 when I first signed I had my open house, this girl, J-a good friend of mine, booked a show, but between her own personal issues, and mine, it hasn't happened. But it's not really been a big deal, we both knew eventually it would happen. Well, I emailed her last night...

Can you submitt a show with a potential booking? And if that person goes and books AFTER the show is submitted with the first hsot get the host benifit then for the new hosts show? I'm waiting to hear back from someone on hosting a show, but don't want it to hold up the whole order. But i...

I'm doing a catalog show through a referral of a freind and come to find this out...need help with a good response, cause she sounds like she'd possibly be interested with the right "encouragement".:D Here's what she says: "I had to hang my pampered chef apron up because I had 2 children...

Does the "free website for the first 90 days" still stand - or was this just a special promotion. If they sign now - can they purchase items in April during kit enhancement month - or do they have to qualify first - or do they have to wait until their 4th month. Not sure on these and...

I came across this recipe the other day, and I think it would work well for the mini-fluted pan - it says it makes 6 servings in "individual baking molds" or in 7oz ramekins. I also read a review that says it can be done in a 10-cup bundt -type pan. Does anyone know if our fluted pan is 10 or 12...

Help!! I have a potential recruit who is ready to sign. One problem.... She does not drive!! Ahhhhh!! Has anyone dealt with this? No clue how to advise her...........

Hi everyone! I have a potenial recruit who is interested in selling PC, but is also toying with the idea of making & selling Soy candles. I've made candles in the past & it's a pain in the rear!!! Her hubby thinks she should do PC, but is supportive of her in whatever she ends up...

I was at a bridal expo last Sunday & met a bride-to-be's mother who was very interested in joining PC. When she walked away I could even hear her telling her daughter, "I'm serious about this. I want to sign up." My only dilemma is that she said that right now her husband is going through...

I've seen on the website that there is a "Sample the Pampered Chef" thing that Directors can do - I'm wondering if anybody did this before they became a director? I have several people I've spoken casually about becoming a consultant with and I was thinking of inviting them over some weekend...
