Recruiting Teachers for Pampered Chef: Experiences & Ideas

[curtinbarb]

Has anyone ever tried to recruit teachers and presented the Pampered Chef as a great summer job? I am thinking about doing that this year and would be interested in hearing about experiences others might have had as well as any interesting flyers people more creative than I have developed. Thanks in advance!

There was a thread on this a while back. Try searching..you may find your answers there without waiting.

One of my stars on my team is a teacher...well, actually, she is a guidance counselor for a Jr Hi School, but until recently she was a teacher. She is also a wife and mother of a 5 yr old, and 8 yr old.

She was a great host of mine for about 3 years, and at all of her shows, she practically did the demo with me - she would get so excited about the product, and was always pulling out her personal products to pass around. For 3 years, we had an on-going conversation about signing her up to be a consultant, and this past summer, she was finally ready. She didn't actually start until September - and has been very consistent with 2-3 shows a month plus a catalog show or 2. She earned $150 in PC$ during her 90 days, and also earned the 2 shows and $1500 level for Nov, and the 2 shows level for Dec.
She LOVES being a PC consultant - now she keeps asking me why she waited so long! Her DH, who was a bit leary at first is now all for it - just because he says it's so great to see her having so much fun with it!

Her plan is to do 2-3 shows a month during the school year, and then 6-8 per month during the summer.


But - I have no great flyers or anything - this was based solely on relationship building!

Thanks, Becky and Keith. I spent quite a while searching on this topic in a variety of ways before sending this post. I was unsuccessful, so any suggestion you might have would be great.

Hi there! I have definitely recruited teachers to join my Pampered Chef team as a summer job and it has been a great success. Teachers are natural networkers and love to try new things, so it's a perfect fit for them. Plus, they have the summer break to really focus on building their business and earning some extra income. As for flyers, I have found that keeping it simple and highlighting the flexibility, fun, and earning potential of being a Pampered Chef consultant is the most effective. Good luck with your recruitment efforts!
