I was told what Septembers host and guest special is, but am not sure how true it is. Can I post it to ask or is that something I have to wait after conferences to ask?
 
specialsi would say to post it but im not going to conference, but if you want to be safe i would say post it on thurs when the 3rd session starts
 
Officially, home office asks that we don't post anything about specials, incentives, etc. until they are posted on the website. I believe the date I saw was July 19.

I guess if its a secret til after conference I won't ask about it. I didn't know if it was a secret or not. The special I heard it was wasn't like "Wow" It seems to be just a normal special to me thats why I was curious if what I heard it was was true or not. I was thinking it was going to be something out of the ordinary. I guess I'll wait til after conference 3 to find out for sure.
 
Sept. SpecialDid you go to the National Conference in Chicago at all?

I couldn't go but I know there are people there right now.
 
Sept. SpecialsThis was my first year at conference. I went to the first session and let me tell you, I will be going every year from now on!! Now that I am back I have a whole new outlook on my business and the products. Septembers Special is really awsome, this is where your selling the product comes in and hostess coaching too. This special actually doesn't happen too often. Before I was just here because of the products but after conference I am now commited to "my business" so no matter what the special is for the month, it is awsome and wonderful of Doris to allow us to have such specials in order to help us build our business.
 
Isn't conference great!?? It's so cool that it gets people more excited about their businesses and helps us realize that it IS a business and you can do amazing things with it. ALL of the upcoming specials are awesome! This was my 3rd time at conference and once you go, you always want to go!! I am SO excited about all the stuff they announced.
 
I'm at conference now and I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE ANNOUNCEMENTS!! I'm on my way to Opening Session!
 
Can't wait to hearI didn't make it to conference this year, I am new, still in SS so I just didn't have the time to plan, but it is in my plans for next year. I am so excited about what the new items and specials are. Can't wait till the 19th! Woo Hoo :D
 
I am inspired by all of the stories that I heard at conference, my SS1 was January so I wasn't sure I was going to go either, but I decided to pinch my pennies since everyone said it was so great and I went. There was a girl in one of my classes who just signed up July 4, Wow!
 
My director called and told me what they new stuff is today! I am so excited to see it all!!!! It is going to be perfect in my kitchen. I'm so glad that I worked hard in the sell a thon!
 
New Catalogs and stuffJust to clear up my crazy confusion - I am still pretty new to all this....I read someplace that we are to receive the new fall paperwork & catalogs by the 29th of July - am I correct? Also - the new catalogs take effect Sept 1st - right??? I just want to make sure I am clear on all of this. I could not go to conference because my daughter just got married last week...good excuse! I have a couple of hosts who want to wait for September and I just want to make sure I am correct on the new catalogs for then! Can't wait to hear about all the new products tomorrow on the website - until then, someone email me please!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Cindy,
All the new products are posted under the chef announcements and feedback (I think thats what its called.) Its under the thread its ok to talk about conference now.
 
September Guest SpecialMy director told me tonight that the guest special for September is 20% off stoneware!!! I hope that's right! I think that is a great special!!! Alot of people love our stoneware and I don't think many people would pass it up! :D Way to go PC!
 
Kitchen ConsultantThe Sept. Specials is 60% off of the Stones any Stones. Oct. is more exciting
I can't wait, the new Roasting Pan that is origaninally $145 for $58 or the Lifting Forks For $10, Or the Carving Set for $18. Sorry if I ruined any of the fun for anybody but like I said I can't wait.
 
Doris,
I am assuming that is for the host? And where did you find the special for October so soon? So what is it for guests in Oct.?
 
I went to my Cluster meeting on Monday, and my Director told us everything that she learned at Conference. Ladies if you are not going to Cluster meetings you should be. They are very informative and so much fun.
 
I would be going if they werent 3 hrs away from me. :)

I believe the guest special for October is if they purchase $50 in products they get the jar opener free. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I know its the guest special for one of the upcoming months. :p
 
Believe me, if there were any cluster meetings around my area I would go!!

As long as we are on the subject of specials...does anyone know the host special for October? I have a show this weekend and would love to get the word out! Thanks!!

I believe the host special is the roasting pan at 60% off or the meat tools or the carving board set. I haven't seen the flyer so I'm assuming they get they're choice to choose from one of the 3.
 
i cant wait to go to my cluster meeting i am actually friving 3 1/2 hrs to get there cant wait
 
October HOst SpecialIt's awesome!!! October hosts can purchase the Roasting Pan w/Rack for $58, Meat Lifters for $10, or the Carving Set for $18. :D

This is what I understand the host special to be. I guess we will know for sure when its posted on the web. I for one am really excited over the meat lifters. I struggle every Thanksgiving with two or three spatulas and an extra pair of hands to get the turkey out of the roaster!
 
Awesome host specialWOW!! Thanks ladies! That is a WONDERFUL host special...especially before Thanksgiving! Let's hope October is a busy month for us all!
 
cluster meetingsCan't your director find you a director closer to you, so you can attend those meetings? Surely someone is closer. You really need those monthly meeting to keep up and talk to other consultants. :)
 
Sept. & Oct. SpecialsWow!! Those are great specials. I am so excited about them. Thank you all for posting the information. I find it easier to get bookings when I can explain what the full benefits are. Often times I will have a future host ask what all the bonuses are and if I can't tell them everything I feel unprepared.

Thank you all for all the great information not only in this post but within the website.

Christol :)
 
Pamperedkay,

Wish she could find me a hospitality director. But she checked with Pampered Chef and the closest director to me is 2-1/2 hrs away. So...am kinda on my own here. That is why I love this site so much. :)

Did you guys here about the extra incentive in sales for consultants? I heard from my cluster meeting last night that August through October we have a chance to earn all three of the new PC totes (the ones you take to shows) If you get $1000 in sales they will send the first tote. At $2,000 in sales they send the next tote and if we get $3,000 in sales they will send the last tote, the big one on wheels. My director said they will send them as we make enough in sales. I'm super excited and am going to try to get all 3! Good luck.
 
Yes, I am very excited about that. I will be sure to get one tote and maybe the second. August kind of slow month for me. My dh changing schedules at his job.
