There are Catalog Show Planners on this site that are great. Go to files and do a search for catalogs. Also, this is a letter someone else posted, which I think is great:

HOW TO HAVE A $1,000 CATALOG SHOW!!!
Did you know that hosts who have $1,000 shows usually receive:
over $200 in FREE kitchen tools, plus
4 items of their choice at HALF PRICE (Yes, this includes the cookware!!), plus
an unlimited 30% DISCOUNT ?!?!?!

Many of my hosts have achieved the $1,000 show level and above.
You can too. Here’s how:
Get out that address book! Catalog Shows are so easy … you simply pass out catalogs around to your friends, family, and co-workers and collect orders. Remember, not everyone you ask will order, but you will be surprised at how many do! Use your “It’s Show Time! Planner” (located in this packet) to help you. Encourage your contacts to ask their friends and family to order too! 

Get on the phone NOW to let everyone know what you are doing. It is inevitable that you will play phone tag at least once, so it’s best to start as soon as possible! Be sure to let them know about rewards they can receive: this month’s guest special, free gifts they can earn as a host if they book a Show (Kitchen or Catalog), and an opportunity to let their friend or family member (you) receive free and discounted products. Follow the Checklist to help keep you on track and ensure a good response to your Show. Remember to keep catalogs with you at all times to show to familiar faces or if you are daring, to complete strangers. Also keep in mind that anyone from anywhere can order from your Catalog Show. I can even ship directly to them.

Share your enthusiasm about the tools and suggest those that you have found helpful in your own kitchen. Remember that over 50% of our product line is under $13.00 and the vast majority of people find something that will make their lives easier in the kitchen. Send a catalog to work with a relative or friend and have them collect orders for you.

Follow-up: People often lead such busy lives that it’s common for them to forget to your closing date. It is helpful if you call your guests that you haven’t heard from about 1 week before your closing. Ask them “I was just wondering if you found anything you wanted from the catalog I gave you? I want to make sure you don’t overlook the closing date of my Show… you don’t want to miss out on something.” If they are ready to order, you can take their order by phone or in person. Be sure to call me with any questions you may have.

Do your contacts a favor and give them a final reminder call about 2 days before your show ends. Just a quick call to their voice mail may do the trick!!
Together we can have a fantastic Pampered Chef® Catalog Show!!
Any questions just give me a call … Lee Anne Brock (260) 625-6513
