So my SIL had an idea... When the girls in my cluster and I were talking about the power cooking shows someone mentioned a place where you can go "assemble" like 12 dinners in a matter of about two hours. The idea is they do all the prep work and clean up and you choose from a "menu" of...

I just got a phone call on my cell phone from someone (caught only the first name)... and she wanted to know when her Pampered Chef website would be ready. I was sooo confused. I said that I had a newsletter service for consultants but I was not affiliated with the corporate Pampered Chef...

I am thinking about using lapboards. I refuse to buy them from Merrill as they are way expensive and white (I don't want to have to clean them from grubby hands). I found some on expressyourselfonline.com which I would be willing to pay for. I know others have made their own out of binders...

How can I help them to see how it cane work for them? The WHOLE PTA was at my show today and really like the idea of offering something that people will actually use instead of ugly wrapping paper. The school is not huge...just K-2. I am thinking at the most...300 catalogs. I am comfortable...

I am thinking of signing with Tastefully Simple in addition to PC. My leads have really thinned out and my database is about tapped out also. I am looking at keeping things basically UTD for discount purposes and the TS would be for discounts also. I also feel that the two compliment each...

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 am thinking about becomming a consultant. I'm not sure if I want to start in February or April. The reason I am leaning towards February is beacuase of the host specials. I believe I can get four parties scheduled and pulled off by the end of the month. My question is: If the party is held in...

Hey! I'm desperately in need of a new laptop. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not P3 works with Vista. I know a while ago it didn't, and since that seems to be my only option for an operating system, I might just have to wait. TIA!!

My first show was not good. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking I shouldn't even keep trying. Here's what happened: A friend of mine from church offered to host a show. She invited 13 people. What she didn't tell me, until I got there, was that it was only 2 moms, and the rest kids. The...

My youngest DD's Daisy Troop has received Peanut Butter Patties as their cookies to make into a recipe. Sooooo...my cheffers....any ideas on what we can make them into??? Oh and we have to make it Friday night!! LOL!! TIA!

I was thinking of using this at home- any one use it? Any one know anything bad about it? I don't want to install something that will wreck my laptop.... Any thoughts? TIA! :)

I am thinking about quitting PC… I’m starting my 5th month and it has been going really well. I have shows booked for Nov and 2 more this month. My biz has pretty much worked itself so far (around 20 shows) and when I have shows consistently, I enjoy them once I’m there. I just hate getting my...

I think, when I retire in a few years, I'm going to need a hobby that isn't going to require crawling around old bridges. (See my blog to learn about my second career as a bridge hunter.) So is there a school that teaches quilting?

It's not that school is to hard, it is to hard with FT work, and kids. DH does NOT help with house hold chores like he said he would. the kids cry for me when i am at school. when i try to do my homework they demand my attn. granted they are 2 or 3. i am seriously going to talk to DH about...

:eek: :eek: I scheduled a show this Friday night, and have 2 on Saturday!! What was I thinking??:eek: :eek: Luckily, I am doing the same thing at all 3 shows, so I should be ok.

If a catalog show begins in one month and closes in another, which month is it considered to be held in? Let's just say June-July ... Is there any reason NOT to have a show carry over from one month to the next? I have 3 catalog shows to get started and am trying to figure out if I should...

WEll, tomorrow is my debut brunch. We sent out 30+ postcards and so far only 3 are coming. I guess my host coaching needs a bit of something!!! I am, however...going to go in positive and who knows...maybe one of those three wants to purchase the entire Executive Cookware set??? It could...

I am very frustrated with my business. It seems more and more like a chore these days and not being fun like it was for me last year. What I have been getting lately, is people are not answering their phones when i am trying to host coach, and hosts NEVER, EVER call me back (when they say...

Anyone want to take any stabs at guessing what the consultant incentives will be for May and June???

Where do I find the price per month (I'm Canadian)? I plan to have it up and running for our new S/S season. How long does it take to set it up and get it running? I would like to have a kick-off to the new season and my new website by offering them N/C shipping on their orders for one...

Someone from my homeschool group sent out an email looking for a chocolate recipe that can be made for a wedding reception. She said it needed to be quick, cheap and easy because she will have to make a lot. Anyone have any suggestions? I thought this might help open the door for me for some new...

Hi All, I am a self proclaimed PC junkie, and have been toying with the idea of joining for some time now. I am a veteran of Direct Sales having been with three companies in the past. My question is this...how do I find someone local to sign under? I know the importance of being able to...

and I need some pushing. I am not a chef by any means. I had a show a month ago and did very well ($1100) and got all sorts of free products. I'm now obsessesed :eek: and went to another party last week and bought tons more. I look at my PC items and can't wait to use them! Anyways, I'm not...

I started with PC in March and I am undecided as to whether I will do this again next year. I haven't put the time or effort into it to make much of a business out of it. I enjoy it but just don't seem to have the contacts for it to really take off. I am considering trying the website for 6...

Do most of y'all order the checks from Merrill? I was thinking of getting some from another company b/c Merrill seems pricey, plus I don't like duplicate checks. Is this OK to do as long as I put "Ind Consultant for The Pampered Chef" on it?
