Have You Heard of Pampered Chef?

In summary, the conversation is about how to approach someone who is interested in becoming a consultant for Pampered Chef but has never heard of the company before. Trish and Ginny suggest making an appointment and bringing the new recruiting DVD, catalog, and brochure to the meeting. They also discuss the importance of seeing the person's body language and facial expressions to gauge their interest. Other suggestions include inviting the person to a show, asking them questions and listening to their responses, and providing them with information about the company beforehand. The conversation also touches on the support and enthusiasm within the Pampered Chef community and the success of the company.

What would you send to someone who's never heard of Pampered Chef, but seems an excellent candidate for becoming a consultant?

Oh, you guys are so smart! Now, I have to figure out if I gave away my last DVD. Thanks, as always, Cheffers, for your support!

Personally I wouln't send them anything...I would make an APPOINTMENT with them and bring the DVD, catalog and the simple brochure

I want to SEE their body language, facial expressions...

Ginny
 
Yes... I wouldn't send them anything, either. You could refer them to your website, possibly, but, I would meet with them in person.
 
AND: The first thing I would do when meeting her would to date a show so she can see everything at once--you could call it her "lets see" show. At the show, mention that she is considering becoming a consultant and see who would help her out, and at the show would also be a good time to get feedback from her friends. Even if she doesn't sign, you at least get a show.

Yes, I will make an appointment with her. I already directed her to my website. But, if it was me, I wouldn't agree to meet anyone without having looked at something beforehand.

I agree Trish - especially if I'd never heard of the company before.....I'd want to know it was really legit before setting up a meeting.

How did you meet her? What did you notice about her that you thought she would be a good consultant? And where in the world has she been living that she has never heard of PC? Just trying to get ideas of what other people what for/notice for recruiting.

Sorry... I guess I didn't really answer the question, "What would I send her."

Of course, you have to do what you are comfortable doing, but what I meant was, (based on my experience alone) that if you just send something, you might not get the chance to meet them. Sometimes, the information we provide is overwhelming and people can talk themselves out of something. At least if you meet with them first, you have a little more control of how its presented and can respond to any concerns, as well as see their reaction, and guage your response. Its all about what you are comfortable doing.

I am one of those recruits who had never heard of Pampered Chef until I started to inquire online. I was looking for something and my friends at school listed Pampered Chef as one business I should look into. Since I am NOT a cook and proud of it, I relied on my family and friends enthusiasm and the enthusiam and knowledge of my director. After reviewing the tape I knew that I could at least give it a try. I had the money and the shows all lined up before I signed the agreement. I have been a consultant now for a year and am enjoying it very much.

Thanks for all the input! As Kathy said, Cheffers are GREAT! Anyway, after debating the issue, I decided I would send her an Empowering Women, Catalog and Your Life, Your Way flyer. Then, when I meet her for coffee or a soda, I'll give her the DVD. Oh, I wish I wasn't a Pisces! Now, I'm thinking I should send the DVD first. Ugh! It's too early to think! Anyway, I'll work it out!

Welcome, Kathy!

Trish: Just curious... Did you ask her if she would be comfortable meeting you first?

Good luck with whatever you do!
