    Seeking Advice From Those Who Have Left Pampered Chef Behind!

    Has anyone suggested a product to Pampered Chef and seen it in the catalog?

    We had a hamburger press years ago....I don't know why it was discontinued since I see it in cookware stores from time to time. The reason that cookware pieces are not sold individually is because they would have to be packed in individual boxes and shipped to the US that way and it would make...

    I used to do Tasty Tidbits but switched to the PC newsletter as it has that wonderful Warm Report that comes out several times a month and you can see who's looking at the recruiting article, the having a show article etc. It has helped me hugely!

    Cooking with a New Cocotte: Ideas to Share!

    I wondered too, why our stoneware manufacturers didn't make this product. Maybe it would have been too expensive so we went to China and hence the inside glaze. I hope this is not a trend for our stoneware....I love that it's made in the US. I think any baked dip, artichoke, spinach, taco would...

    How do you find customers when moving to a new place?

    I moved to Fl. (Space Coast) and re-started my PC biz here. Virtually all my hosts can be tracked to a referral who needed a chopper! In my conversation with her, I asked her if she'd like to do a show - her answer was yes and that was my first host other than my dear neighbor! I have an annual...

    How Are You Doing With the New "Lead System"

    I've had one show lead....it was a show and the host sent me a Contact Me email. Prior to the new system I was getting 3 - 4 a month. I have no idea what's happening to those leads now. Maybe the HO is weeding out all the warped microcooker lid problems but I seriously doubt it! But on the...

    Selling Pampered Chef: My First Party Experience

    That's so funny - I had a bridal shower once where both the bride and the maid of honor were there but both thought the other was doing the inviting so no-one came!! I DO remember the $125 or 5 orders makes a show and the three quarter hour epic phone calls whilst the host (hostess in those...

    Milton/Pace, FL: Find Team/Cluster Meetings and Recipe Nights!

    I'm looking for hospitality in the Apopka area. Our new team member has just moved there which is about 90 minutes from us (we're on the Space Coast) She's going to come to some of our events but it would be nice if she had someone a little closer as well as she has a new baby. Thanks in advance!
