I hosted a recent show and want to buy a few items as holiday gifts, how do I calculate the price of the products that I buy? Do I just deduct the 20% consultant discount from the price? How will I enter that price into PP?

Does my product order count total count toward my commission?
 
When you host a show, you get the hosts discount. You do not get your personal discount. So, you put your order in just like you would any host. You don't get the booking benefit, but you get everything else your hosts normally get!

Thank you.
 
no commission on consultant orderConsultants do not earn commission on host orders for a show they host. This would be double dipping as you would get a discount and earn a commission. Recipe for Success says you earn commission only on guest orders if the consultant is the host.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my consultant discount for show products during the holiday season?

To calculate your consultant discount for show products, first determine the total retail price of the items you wish to purchase. Then, apply your consultant discount percentage, which is typically 20-30% depending on your level. For example, if the total retail price is $100 and your discount is 25%, you would save $25, making your total cost $75.

Can I use my consultant discount on holiday gift purchases for friends and family?

Yes, you can use your consultant discount on holiday gift purchases for friends and family. However, it's important to ensure that these purchases comply with Pampered Chef's policies regarding personal use and resale. Always check with your director or the company guidelines to confirm.

Are there any restrictions on the products I can buy with my consultant discount during the holiday season?

Generally, there are no specific restrictions on the products you can purchase with your consultant discount, but certain promotional items or limited-edition products may not be eligible. Always refer to the latest Pampered Chef guidelines or consult your director for any exceptions during the holiday season.

What are some tips for maximizing my consultant discount while holiday shopping?

To maximize your consultant discount while holiday shopping, consider planning your purchases around product launches or promotions that offer additional savings. Additionally, combine your orders with other consultants to reach higher sales volumes, which can lead to increased discounts or rewards. Lastly, keep an eye on clearance items that can be purchased at a lower cost.

Can I combine my consultant discount with other promotions or offers during the holiday season?

In most cases, you cannot combine your consultant discount with other promotions or offers, as Pampered Chef typically has policies against stacking discounts. However, you can take advantage of sales or special promotions that are available to all customers. Always check the specific terms of any promotion to ensure compliance.
