Hello All,
I am sooo ready to scream !!
My computer crashed (really really dead!) at the end of February, so I have lost all of my contacts (husband did a re-write on my backup disk).. anyway now I am entering a show.. The person that my hostess booked from has an order, I'm able to get the host specials on there.. but it won't give the Past Host Discount, the totals are showing list prices. I have just put the program on the computer, and it prompted me to do the update.. so that is done, has anyone out there had this problem???:(

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first after losing my contacts due to a computer crash?

The first step is to assess the situation. Check if you have any backups of your contacts, such as cloud storage or external drives. If you have a backup, restore your contacts from there. If not, consider reaching out to your previous hosts and customers through social media or email to reconnect.

How can I recover my host discounts after losing my contacts?

If you’ve lost track of your host discounts, reach out to your Pampered Chef director or customer service. They can help you verify your previous host status and provide any necessary documentation to reinstate your discounts.

Is there a way to prevent losing my contacts in the future?

Yes! Regularly back up your contacts to a cloud service or an external hard drive. Consider using contact management software that automatically syncs your contacts to the cloud. Additionally, keep a physical list of important contacts as a backup.

Can I still host parties if I lost my previous host information?

Absolutely! You can still host parties even if you’ve lost your previous host information. Start by reaching out to your network to gather new contacts and potential hosts. Utilize social media and community events to expand your reach.

What resources are available to help me rebuild my contact list?

Pampered Chef offers various resources, including training materials and community support groups. You can also utilize social media platforms, local networking events, and customer referral programs to help rebuild your contact list effectively.
