Thanks ladies! I think I was making it harder than it needed to be! I've done all of it now except submit.

I have probably a stupid tax software question. I'm planning on doing them myself with TaxACT or TubroTax. Should I buy the personal and business software or just the deluxe personal addition? I don't want to miss out on filing any forms that should have been filed but I also don't want to...

I think part of the problem is that some things got entered at the party, some things the next day and some things a few days later, as they trickled in and then I was double checking several times to make sure everything was in and then didn't even think to double check that things were in...

So tonight I found out from a host that one of the guests at her show got double charged and sure enough it was me who entered this person's order into P3 twice. Not only that, I did it to another customer too. There were 17 orders on this party. I just double checked myself to death I think...

My DH got me one of my first bookings! He has a great group of ladies that he used to work with (before he got laid off, though he is still in touch with them) and one was one of my first four shows...there's another on the calendar from that group and one more I'm following up with later this...

I've always thought that a cooking show as a prize is lame, myself. If you did the sealed envelope game, do it as in they win the mystery prize in the envelope and can't look unless they book. Look for the thread going on now about the "Top Secret" envelopes, that's what I'm going to be doing...

Thanks everyone for your words of wisdom! Just wanted to follow up - open house was last night and it was enough to submit as a show (with a little $20 boost from me) but not much more but it was FUN and that's what counts. I did have people here pretty much the whole time but nobody new, just...

I'm going to make spritz cookies to show off the cookie press in addition to ham and cheese calzones and loaded baked potato chowder. Trying not to go too nuts with the food since I don't want to spend tons of money and then no one show up :)

I heard that tip on a training CD and tried it when I was booking a show over the phone yesterday and darn the luck, she picked the first one. But she had said 'late in the month' and I said "the 23rd or the 16th" so she picked the 23rd. She's also a direct sales rep for another company so...

Thanks for all the help everyone! I talked to my director earlier and feel MUCH better. I'm a SAHM with an unemployed DH so I have way too much time to fuss over stupid things. I have a hard time approaching people out in public so that's something i have to work on, new challenge! Of...

I think actually part of my problem with phone calls is that my mother--who is supportive in pretty much everything I do but only kind-of supportive in this because she just doesn't like sales oriented stuff to begin with-- told me not to 'bug people too much or they'll start avoiding you" which...

Hi everyone! I've been with Pampered Chef about three months now and am doing pretty well but I think I need to work on my expectations or get some new motivation or something. The past two months I've done about $1500 in sales, but I'd like to do $2000. I had huge hopes on this...

I just made the tortellini toss and cannot believe how low in points it is! It tastes like alfredo sauce! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy!

I also include some little hand-outs (I made a document that has four to a page, and cut them apart) that they can give to people with instructions on how to order on my website. They say:"Want to place an order online for my catalog show?Visit (Web Address)Click “shop online”Search for my name...
