I am so glad I have found this forum, I have been searching and trying to figure out what is best for me to do to keep my business going.
I signed up with Pampered Chef in March. The girl who recruited me seemed to be helpful and I believed she genuinely wanted me to be apart of her team. She was promoted to director and is now in charge of our team. We meet with 3 other teams as well. After signing up, I struggled. It was hard for me to get my friends motivated to host a party. When I got everything in my kit, I started everything; my list of people and working on the 3,2,1 success. I wanted to make 1250 in my first thirty days, but I failed. I had one show my first month and barely made 200 on the party. It is May now and things are slowly getting better but I feel like my director and the women from the team do not like me. My director makes appointments with me then cancels, she has not been to a single one of my parties for support or has invited me to her parties to observe and learn. When I talk to her normally as a friend (not talking about pampered chef), she doesn't seem interested in talking to me. So now I feel awkward because I'm trying so hard to be successful and trying to get support but feel as if I am only a dollar sign, if that makes sense. I was hoping to make friends and have people that I can talk to, hang out with and encourage me as well. Now I am getting to the point I don't want to bother trying to contact my director and I don't want to go to the meetings anymore... I just don't know what to do... Each day I pray I get better and that I start booking more parties. I am hopeful that I can do this but just wishing I had genuine people to talk to.
Any Advice?
