I started a PC business a few years ago after attending a party at one of my mother's friends house and then hosted my own show and signed up. I love the business and I love the products. I am a little on the quiet side and I feel like I need some pointers on how to be more outgoing at my...

So....if you watched the video, what do you think? I think it could be a very good thing- and definitely easier! More positives than negatives, that's for sure. At least in my view. If you are not on the beta Consultants Corner, here is the summary. (By the way, I have not switched to...

So, I am not actually starting Pampered Chef until late Sept/early Oct. My launch party is going to be held by my brother's fiance and I believe we're doing it in a room at a golf course so we could invite a lot of people. Originally we were just going to co-host, but then I decided I would love...

Hello! I am just starting my business and have some question about FB. First, should I use my own FB page or create a new one. Second, how do I throw a facebook party. I don't use FB that much, so I don't know the ins and outs of it. Is there a site that gives step by steps on this sort of...

Some of you may remember that I was laid off my last job for 8 months and finally found a job this spring. I basically took the first job that said yes for two reasons - first I had to because I was on unemployment and second was because I really wanted to start working again. Well after 4...

I become a PC Consultant end of April and still haven't had my first party!!! My sister was to have one early June, had to cancel because she just got back from vacation and did not have time. Then a close friend of mine was suppose to have one mid June, cancelled because it was Father's Day...

Hi from Pa. I just re-started P.Chef after not doing it for almost 9 years. I did it for 10 yrs. and just bscame a rescent widow. My children have been urging me to re-start and I'm glad I did. My son says- " Mom it is so good to hear you laugh like you used to do. Well, I got my kit 2 days...

vendor cost*updated with other ? at post5*I contacted a womens expo, which honestly would be a GREAT opportunity to start my PC business, since I am just starting, and I asked them if they were looking for vendors and how much it would cost and told them who I was. Well she said they were $150...

Due to a "not so nice" marriage and a even messier separation/divorce, I have had to start and stop selling PC a few times. Things are finally settled with the kids, no longer having to move, divorce is final and etc. So now, for the last time, I am able to sell PC consistently and not have to...

I've had the Exec cookware since it first came out, won the sets during the shopping spree at conferene, and earned the open stock pieces through pan o rama when it was going on, I use them EVERY DAY (most used, 10in saute, double burner griddle, single burner griddle) and ONE BY ONE, they have...

This is not looking good. At the front gate of the Nuclear plant, levels are so high that in a 1 hour time frame, people would be exposed to 3 years worth of regular radiation. :( The levels here in Tokyo are normally around 15 ... in the last hour they moved up to 20, then spiked to 25. 80...

I am so excited. Just closed my first show of the year with $1036 in comm. sales! I am so pumped right now! Hopefully this is going to be a sign of good things ahead for my business. The show was last Friday night so for those who think people don't have money so close after...

I didn't see this posted: The Special Edition CN states on page 24 that starting with September shows a show must hit $150 in sales before the past host can redeem her booking benefit. WAHOO! Now every show submitted will be at least $150 commissionable and therefore if someone submits a...

I know i should be asking my recruiter, but yall seem to answer alot more quickly. First, how soon after signing up can i submit my first show? Also, does anyone have a list of what exactly is included in the kit? I promise i am not a "kitknapper" i just have a list of things i want / feel i...

Im just starting out I would like to offer a few themes but I want to keep it simple and only offer 4 or less to choose from and then add to that over time. So what are your top 4 theme shows that have been succesful preferably ones that work year round (not holiday related they can be seasonal)

I started selling PC in November and having such a hard time getting bookings, even with friends and family! I'd love to do the 3 calls a day but I just don't have that many numbers! I'm really starting to get frustrated and want to get some shows on the go! I've even offered, in addition...

Nicole's been walking assisted for awhile now but yesterday she took some steps without help. I seriously wanted to cry. I can't believe my baby is growing so fast! In less than 2 weeks she'll be a year old!

Okay so I've read several posts on this subject but I still have some questions. I started with PC in Feb., 2009. I've done a pretty good job on grocery receipts but not so good on receipts from Office Depot. I've kept all my receipts I just didn't write what it was for. Does this mean I...

I stared with PC on June 15th of this year and I read that a new consultant can get a Kit Enhancement in their 4th month. So if I started on June 15th, 2009 then I would be eligible in October right? Does anyone know if I can do the Kit Enhancement on Oct. 1st or will I have to wait until...
