What is shows: Definition and 200 Discussions

Just curious as to how different consultants do this. I see the point of using PC recipes to encourage guests to purchase SB or cookbooks but wondering if you ever venture out on your own and do something you've tried that was a hit at home?

What are you top ten sellers at shows? I just did a report on this in P3 (Reports ---> Shows---> Top Sell List) and here's my top ten. I'm just curious to see what others' are, as well. 1923 The Pampered Chef® Season's Best(TM) Recipe Collection (Spring/Summer 10) 22 2583 Mix 'N Chop 21...

November is going to be crazy for me, with Thanksgiving I am trying to get all those hostesses in when they want to be. I have 6 shows in 5 days, on the Saturday I have 2 back to back. I work full time so I know I will not want to be doing much as far as packing and re-packing the bags! I...

I'm a little hesitant to continue showcasing the DCB in shows since it is a host only product. I'd really like to do the Potato Chowder next weekend, but feel that some might be disappointed they cannot order the DCB. Are you all still using it as a big part of your shows?

Just wondering what everyone is making for your shows this month? I've got 1 tasting set up & then some skillet lasagna, chicken piccata, loaded baked potato chowder, turtle fudge skillet cakes & looking for a few more ideas...... TIA!

Just wondering how you are all going to "explain" to the guests (and the host!) that these products are "online only" without possibly stepping on the toes of the host who is NOT going to get credit for these items. I have a show tonight, the host already knows about the HWC products (she...

I made the Antipasti Pullaparts last night, and think that may just become my fall demo. I loved that recipe!

Tonight I had a show with a crowd that was similar to my last one. Bunch of nurses. I have been struggling with bookings, so deiced to just ask them. I came home with three shows booked. I am so excited - that was really what I needed. Now to get on the phone...

Hi everyone! I'm a new consultant in KS and have my first show under my belt getting ready for two more next week! I had a question, how do you like to take orders. Do you take them on the sales receipts at the show and enter them into Pampered Plus later? Or do you put them directly into...

i just wanted to say I DIIIIIIID IT! I'm currently sitting at: 2 show submitted $740 in sales two more shows closing friday: 1 catalog show at $275 and 1 cooking show CURRENTLY at $290 with about 6 outside orders waiting to come in! so even without the other outside orders, I'm at $1305...

I have seen a few people that use tri-fold boards at booths and fairs...but has anyone used them at a show? Sorry for all the random questions.:chef:

I need ideas to increase the chances of getting shows booked at a Fair I am doing this Saturday. i will also be doing a farmer's market in a few weeks... last time I did a FM, it was slow, no one booked, I had one order for a scraper. I want some tips to see if I can do better this time...

I want to try to book some weekday shows so all of my shows are not on Saturdays. But, I have 2 small children and my husband can't be home to keep them until 6pm. So in order me to not have to pay for a babysitter, I'd have to do my weeknight shows from 7-9pm. Do you think that is too...

Just to make sure I know how to do this right...... After a show....I take all the checks and cash and deposit it in my bank account that I use for my Pampered Chef business. Then I use my Pampered Chef debit card that is linked to my bank account to pay the show total on P3. Is that...

I need to bring in some extra $$$. But that means I need to get on the phone and ask people which makes me feel like I am begging for $$. Not very motivated to do it, but need to do it... Any advice? Thanks!

Hi, I am new to PC and am just starting my 2nd month. I have several catalog shows getting ready to start, but it seems like most people want to do a catalog show over an actual cooking show. I would love suggestions on how to present the idea of a cooking show...any tips are greatly...

Hi, I just got my website this week and set it up and now I want to enter my first September show and have the info be 'mirrored' on both my site and my P3 database. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (or if it's me). I set up a show in P3 and then selected Tools > Personal Website...

Are people eligible for the guest special if they are ordering from a catalog show? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

OK, so I am brand spanking new (I haven't even had my first show yet!) and one of my friends from overseas has asked to host a catalog show. Her husband is in the military and they have an APO address (military mailing address), so how does it work with shipping? Are the prices the same? Or...

My niece just signed tonight! She already has 4 shows and a catalog show on her calendar!
