What is state: Definition and 68 Discussions

I have a cooking show in a few weeks with a host who has over 20 people out of state she has on her guest list. Should I mail a catalog to every person? Mail a postcard invitation with labels instructing how to place an order online? I told my host we can do the evite thing as well but I want...

How have you handled recruiting out of state leads (ie. leads from Chicago). I have 5 leads :D I came in contact with while at National Conference. My concern is that if they have never been to a show before, how do you familiarize them with how a show works, etc. to get them comfortable with...

I have a host who wants to send catalogs to out of state family and friends. How do you do this? Do you include a little letter along with the catalog? Do you also include an outside order form? What is an "effective packet"?

I am going on a family vacation. My dad and my director both suggested I do a cooking show for them while I am there. I am willing to take the DCB and sautee pan and some small tools with me ...but I'm getting nervous about the "just ask" part. I talked to my aunt who said she wasn't sure...

Okay, so I have run into a dilemma. My state recently raised its sales tax. Which makes us different that all of our neighboring states. I do several shows out of state. For those of you who are in this situation, what do you do about the order forms that you put in your host packets. I...

My sil is doing a catty show for me...yeah!:balloon: She lives in another state and I was wanting to make sure that I cover all the bases on this one. I'm planning on setting it up like all my other catty shows with placing it online for her, but was wondering if any of you have some tips to...

Hi Everyone, Hope this is in the right place, if not I apologize. I have my sister who is in Illinois closing a book show and she wants to just put the total sales on her credit card instead of sending me the check. Is this something we can do? Thank you, Gidget

I received an e-mail that a couple had registered through my website...they live in Vermont. I live in TN. How does this work? It doesn't even have a phone # for them.

I am in my 4th month and well I have been seeking out new information that I cant find any place else. I want to know when do points towards trips start again. What is the next trip. I dont know any of this how it works. I have not been told as my recruter moved right after recruting me and...

What is the name of that website where one can find the sales tax for any given state? I tried a search but couldn't come up with anything. ALSO, the ship-to address is the sales tax we use, correct? For example, if I have a catalog show in Georgia and Louisiana people place an order with...

Hi--I am getting ready to run labels for a holiday open house, and I would like to invite all of my in-state contacts (I have lots of out of state folks from catalog shows). Is there a way to do this? I hate the idea of having to go through them by hand and deselect any out of state people...

Well, just thought I'd give you all an update on my Fair adventures. It seems it is always hot or raining at the State Fair, and this year has been a little bit of rain and a whole lot of hot! First, my director figured out that I could not do the demo on Monday as two of us were to be in...

Hi Everyone! I am doing three live cooking demo's at our state fair - the first one being next Saturday! For one of the shows all of the tools will be there and I bring the ingredients. I am restricted to one of 4 recipes. I'm going to do the Taffy Apple Pizza. I have to bake the cookie...

Hi fellow cheffers. I admit that I found this website through the news of Paige. But I have to ask myself, "where have you been all my life?" I spent the first day just uploading files to my computer. I have been inspired and motivated more in the past week, than in the previous 3 months...

My kids and I have been so happy and free and safe since their dad moved 2000 miles away! As always, he couldn't hold on to his job, and has found a new one in Durango, which is about 3 hours away in the summertime. I'm thinking this is a bit close for my comfort- he could theoretically hang...

Ok so I am unemployed right now and was looking into the PC health insurance. Can you believe the state of MA has some law in place so that they can't offer me coverage???:mad: I hate the MA government. But yet it is the law that everyone in this state has to be covered. What the???

Are we allowed to state in a forum that we are a PC consultant and put our website (entire address) in a forum discussion? I just spotted a consultant name and website on the forum. Charlene

I have a question about doing a kitchen show out of the state. If I do a demo for my mom when I go to visit her in South Dakota, what can I deduct as far as taxes? Gas? Hotel on the way there? Just wondering if I could do that. Also, I am driving to Chicago and we CAN deduct all expenses for our...

I just had a show last Saturday. Someone asked me about the $5 extra charge and I said, oh don't worry just go by the little box that says how much shipping is according to how much you spent. A lot of folks were talking and I misunderstood. I'm putting in orders today and finally realized...

Hi Everyone! I was just introduced to this website, but it sure looks like a great place to hang out. We just relocated to a new state, changed jobs, bought a house, and found out we're having our first baby (that was last week). Anyone got any tips for meeting all the strangers around me...

I just joined Chefsuccess today. I have been with the company for a little over five months. My wife and I are really excited about the opportunities that the company offers. If you have any words of wisdom for this Kentucky boy, I'd love to hear them.

I am leaving to go watch my husband coach in the football state championship game tonight at 7!! I am so excited and nervous as can be! this is the first time we have made it this far since the 1980s. Wish us luck!!!! I will post tomorrow the outcome of the game!!!

I will be flying to New York next week to visit a friend for a few days. I would like to be prepared to do a cooking show for her if she asks for one. Any suggestions of what products I might take with me and also recipe ideas "just in case"?

I am flying from FL to IL in December and want to do some shows while I am there visiting. Does anyone have ideas for a show that I could just take a couple pieces? I thought about shipping stuff up there, but that sounds like a huge pain and expensive. Any thoughts?

I have been a little quiet the last two days because of my shifts at the Alaska State Fair. There is NOTHING to do for locals in AK so the fair is a huge deal that people drive for days to get to. Anyway, I worked two shifts and here are my results: 189 drawing slips with addresses 20...

We are going to do a show and a booth at the Missouri State Samboree for the Good Sam Club (RV Camping club). There will be around 1,000 people there and we have gone through the catalog to gear our show towards Pampered Chef in the RV. For you RVers our there, do you have any suggestions...

I think that it is interesting to see where everyone is from that will be in wave 3... By the way, do they choose which wave you're in by your NSED?? I'm obviously from Ohio..:D

A guest at one of my shows is from out of state and loves PC....I was thinking of offering for her to do a catalog show but am not sure how that would work.:confused: I'm in RI and she's from CA....has anyone ever done anything like this? Thanks for any input.

I had a question... I'm a new consultant... I just signed up about a week ago... My cousin signed up under a director in her town last night... However, she was thinking about cancelling her agreement with that director and re-signing under me so that we could go on the same incentive trips...

HELP!! I moved from Kentucky to Georgia in 2004. I received a "Form 740-NP" from KY this year that states "Form 740-NP must be used by full-year nonresidents who had income from Kentucky sources...." What I need to know is...if I did a few catalog shows with my past KY hosts or placed...
