You MUST add the Host Order EVEN if the Host doesn't order anything. Just click add host order and it will automatically fill with your info since you were the host. The first thing I do when I set up a show is add the host order that way it is easy to find since it is always at the top of the order summary screen.

Booking BenefitMaybe I misunderstood what you are saying, but if YOU are the host there is not really a reason to enter the bookings because you don't get the booking benefit as a consultant. The only reason that is important for PP is for your hosts to get their benefit. Otherwise, you can enter it on your own for contact management, instead of PP doing it automatically for you. Hope this helps!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first after entering my first show?
After entering your first show, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Pampered Chef website and your consultant dashboard. Take some time to explore the resources available to you, including training materials, product information, and booking tools. This will help you feel more confident as you start entering bookings.
How do I enter bookings for future shows?
To enter bookings for future shows, go to your consultant dashboard and select the 'Bookings' section. From there, you can add new bookings by entering the host's information, the date of the show, and any additional details. Make sure to confirm the date with your host before entering it.
What information do I need to collect from my hosts?
When collecting information from your hosts, be sure to gather their name, contact information, preferred show date, and any specific themes or products they are interested in. This will help you tailor the show to their preferences and ensure a successful event.
How can I encourage my guests to book their own shows?
Encouraging guests to book their own shows can be done by sharing the benefits of hosting, such as earning free products and discounts. You can also create excitement during the show by showcasing popular items and sharing success stories from previous hosts. Offering incentives, like a special gift for booking at the show, can also motivate guests to sign up.
