It's either widely believed or known for fact that there are "HO Moles" on ChefSuccess. It usually is for the best, because, like you pointed out, great ideas that come from this community sometimes find their way into the PC world officially. That's probably also why they are doing their own version....because they see the benefit it has among the consultants here.But, as someone who wasn't at SL...what is the CC Community?Shelly Flanagan said:It just seems that HO has taken a lot of ideas from here for the new season. ie: the baker bundle - it can be found here on the files, the DCB cookbook, the Community idea itself, etc. I know a lot of people on here have emailed HO with suggestions, but wow, this time it was like they either took a lot of suggestions at once, or are monitoring this. I am working with my NED, and she will send me emails of the files I find on here and act like they are "NEW" and they are definitely not. I have emailed her back sometimes w/ "ummm, I have been doing that for months, here is what I have used" and copied her on the file. I am not saying she shouldn't use them, just don't pass them off as "NEW" or "YOURS" or "ORIGINAL" when I know the truth.

babywings76 said:Well, I have a lifetime membership here and I don't plan on deserting it. Even if the PC one is great, I don't think it can replace the little "family" I feel I have here. Maybe it's knowing that not EVERY single consultant sees me and my silly commentary, I feel comfortable here. We'll have to wait and see what the PC one is like, but I'm still keeping CS bookmarked and up there with my FB addiction.
akrebecca said:Sooo, is this why the teleclasses are going away? Or did they introduce a new training option?
wadesgirl said:I doubt it, they will more than likely want to keep it business like. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Dotty said:Ditto for me. I hope we keep ChefSuccess going, although I have no issue if we double post. This is a self-selected group of individuals who are interested in using this media to grow and maintain their business.
I'm worried that the CCcommunity will have restrictions on posting our own flyers and sharing our ways of circumventing the "system". I think it boils down to a general big-brother concern on my part. I wish that instead, TPC would recognize and encourage sites like this. ChefSuccess is open to outside viewers, but it limits the # of views (which can be circumvented by clearing your cache) and it does limit members to consultants who can produce an ID number.

kam said:I don't think we have to prove that we are consultants before becoming a paid member of CS. Unless that has changed?
I was a paid member before becoming a consultant. I always loved PC products & recipes and thought this site was an awesome way to learn different ways to use our products. Though, I probably never (or rarely) posted before I became a consultant.

Becca_in_MD said:I think it was in a PC Newswire a few weeks ago that they're discontinuing the teleclasses, pretty soon if I'm remembering correctly. The recordings will be availabe til the end of May or something like that.
mountainmama74 said:I have a lifetime membership here, too - and won't be leaving any time soon!
Also, KG - those little jumping wave guys captivated my attention for more time than they should have. LOL!!

DebinIA said:Tell people something is going away and it suddenly becomes popular again. I anticipate a rush on the Pizza Crust/Roll mix for this very reason.

akrebecca said:Any idea why? I was wondering if maybe the number of participants had gone down? Is PC thinking maybe webinars?

Admin Greg said:ChefSuccess will only grow and reach new heights! If they install an interesting feature, I will work my hardest to bring it here. However, I can almost certainly tell you that most corporate communities are stale and boring! Here we have flexibility and family. Also one thing the corporate community will never give you is anonymity. They will always know who you are.
If anything the new community will help us gain new membership as surely we will be linked to
cookingwithdawn said:How do you become a lifetime member?
babywings76 said:Can't remember if it's still an option...have to ask Greg, the administrator, about it. But a while ago he had a special offer where you pay a higher one-time fee (still wasn't too bad, and definitely worth it!) and you'd be a lifetime member.
akrebecca said:Hmmmmm. I don't like stale & boring. I prefer the bag of mixed nuts we have here.
Consultant Corner is a new online community platform created by Pampered Chef specifically for our independent consultants. It provides a space for them to connect, share ideas and resources, and support each other in growing their businesses. The impact of this community on Chef Success is expected to be significant, as it will allow for more collaboration and knowledge sharing among consultants, which can ultimately lead to increased success for everyone.
Consultant Corner is unique in that it is exclusively for Pampered Chef consultants and is tailored specifically to their needs and challenges. It also offers a variety of tools and resources, such as training materials and marketing templates, that are designed to help consultants succeed in their businesses. Additionally, Consultant Corner is closely integrated with our existing Chef Success program, making it a seamless addition to our overall support system for consultants.
No, Consultant Corner is meant to enhance and complement the resources and support already available through Chef Success. It is not intended to replace any existing programs or platforms, but rather to provide an additional avenue for consultants to connect and support each other in their businesses.
We believe that Consultant Corner will have a positive impact on the overall culture and community within Pampered Chef. By bringing consultants together in a more collaborative and supportive environment, we expect to see increased camaraderie, motivation, and success among our consultants. This, in turn, will contribute to a stronger and more vibrant community within our company.
If you are a Pampered Chef consultant, you can access Consultant Corner through your existing Chef Success account. Once you are logged in, you can explore the various features and resources available, join discussions and groups, and connect with other consultants. We encourage all of our consultants to actively participate in the community and take advantage of the valuable support and resources it offers.
