Okay, Amy, my host from last night, got four bookings. However, Michelle booked TWO shows (June AND September). Will Amy get the booking benefit for BOTH shows? How do I enter the September show (it's for the 7th) in PP? I entered the June show. Anyone had this happen? How does this work? Thanks.
 
Double booking!!What I would do is go into PP and enter her name twice. Once with her order and then add her booking date. then a second time just blank with no order but with her second booking date. Get it? I think I confused myself! :confused: LOL LOL :D
That should work!!

I would do what Debbie said.
 
Yes, that's how it's done. I've done it a few times myself. Her order has the June show on it. Add her as a guest again with no order and enter the September booking.
 
Hello! My suggestion is to give the June booking to your current host. Then when the new host holds the June show, let her book her September show off the June show. That way she has the opportunity to get two September host specials.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "double booking" mean in the context of Pampered Chef parties?

Double booking refers to the situation where a consultant schedules two Pampered Chef parties with the same host on the same date or time. This can lead to confusion and may affect the success of both parties.

Is it acceptable to double book parties with the same host?

While it's technically possible to double book, it's generally not recommended. It can create scheduling conflicts and may diminish the experience for guests. It's best to communicate with the host and ensure they are comfortable with the arrangement.

How can I manage double bookings effectively?

If you find yourself in a situation where you have double booked, communicate openly with the host about the situation. Consider staggering the start times or combining the parties into one larger event to accommodate all guests.

What are the potential downsides of double booking?

Double booking can lead to a negative experience for both the host and guests. It may result in lower attendance, confusion over product demonstrations, and can ultimately impact sales and the consultant's reputation.

What should I do if a host wants to schedule multiple parties?

If a host expresses interest in scheduling multiple parties, it's best to space them out over different dates. This allows for better planning, more focused attention on each event, and a higher likelihood of success for each party.
