Question for Wave 1 Cheffers

jenniferlynne · 07-13-2006, 10:15 AM

Ok. I know you can't tell what new products are out, and I am NOT asking that you do. I just want to know this. Are they worth $850, and will we be very excited?

I should have been in Wave 2, but didn't have the money to go this year. I am going to save, save, save to go next year. We are having a meeting on Monday so my Director can tell those of us that couldn't go what the new products are. I can't wait!!!

Worth $850? As usual, some things seem a bit over-priced to me, but considering all of the features and exclusivity of some items, I think they're quite comparably priced to the regular retail market.

gilliandanielle · 07-14-2006, 01:51 AM

I am very ok with paying $425 for the biggest package!!

lacychef · 07-14-2006, 07:55 AM

Yes, they are awesome new products....and yes, some are a little pricey. But, we are known for our quality, and quality is what they are! I think you will be quite pleased

And, I'M not breaking my promise to Doris...you'll find out soon enough!

Shawnna · 07-14-2006, 09:16 AM

My biggest problem with spending the $425 is that there are suppose to be 20 restyled products....which means I will have 20 duplicate products that are now useless as far a business is concerned. My pitchers are still in their box from last season. I already have several pitchers that are in great shape. I am giving my large on away next week as a housewarming gift for a coworker. What do you think of this idea....I plan to fill the pitcher with lemons, bar board, juicer, and quikut paring knife and then wrap a pretty bow around it. I am not sure exactly how it is going to fit. I may have to get a big basket and just put it all in there. Give me some feedback....thanks

Jennie4PC · 07-14-2006, 10:49 AM

I think that is a cute idea for a house warming gift

DebbieJ · 07-14-2006, 11:11 AM

Several things have been redesigned or repackaged. So shelling out the $425 will be somewhat of a waste.

Sk8Mom209 · 07-14-2006, 11:47 AM

One of the re-designs is awesome and so needed though (Wave 1'rs will know which one I am talking about). I cannot wait to get it!

DebbieJ · 07-14-2006, 12:18 PM

I can't wait for mine either, Shari!

gilliandanielle · 07-14-2006, 12:39 PM

That is the rediesign I am most excited about! The other redesigns aren't really needed in my house so I am going to give them away as door prizes or booking lures!

jenniferlynne · 07-14-2006, 01:23 PM

So do the majority of you always buy all the items that you don't earn during the sell-a-thon at half price even if you aren't crazy about all of them? This will be my 4th season change selling, and so far I have always purchased anything that I don't earn. I'm usually excited about most of the products, but I do get a little tired of getting scrapers, twixit clips (even though I seem to never have enough of those things!) and trivits. This season I gave away the scrapers and trivits as hostess gifts.

pampchefrhondab · 07-14-2006, 10:20 PM

I wish they would let us purchase all items individually at 50% off instead of in packages. That way we could pick and choose. Sometimes there is just a couple of items in each package I really want! I guess at least they offer us the deep discount though - which I am thankful for. It's just hard when you are just building your business to have to turn around each season and buy more products. I guess they want us to want that directorship though - it works!

janel kelly · 07-15-2006, 09:40 PM

I'm with you on that Rhonda.

I didn't realize there were going to be 20 redesigned products. Am I right to hope that one of those is the slice and grate food holder thing? I hope so. I'll have to see which prodcuts are redesigned. I doubt I'll need many of them because most of my PC products I like the way they are.

Chef susan · 07-15-2006, 09:53 PM

If there are new things u didn't earn and ar in too big of a 50% off package--throw it on a local hosts show little by little with their discount--you will get paid on it too so maybe like being almost half off??!!

But the directorship is Great to get a big batch FREE and earn in the sell athon!!! can't wait--love the new products!!!

I do like taking all new products to a show now that I get them--then I don't have guests who say--I have about everything in the catalog.......
well I bet u don't have this or this or this!!!!!

DebbieJ · 07-15-2006, 10:01 PM

I never buy the sample packages and I never buy on kit enhancement. I always either host my own shows or throw just the items I want on a host order so that I can get the incentive points, it can count towards my career sales, and it can boost my commission for the month. It almost always works out to be a better deal.

There are 44 new products and 14 redesigned products and I think you will be happy with many of the redesigned products.

COOKINWITHSHERRI · 07-16-2006, 12:42 PM

Your such a tease!!!! How very coded of you guys to talk behind our backs like that. I'll find out tomorrow, but your KILLING me!

I thought it was 40 new and 20 redesigned/repackaged

Sk8Mom209 · 07-16-2006, 03:41 PM

My notes from general session are 44 new and 16 restyled (mis-typed before)

Shawnna · 07-16-2006, 04:23 PM

16 restyled is what I heard from a friend who is at conference. My biggest problem with that is that the ones we have will be discontinued and worthless. You can always say "I love our ?. It helps me ?, but if you will look on page ? in the catalog you can see that it has been redesigned to be even better." But, looking at a picture is not the same as holding that product.
