    Booking MIA Hosts for June: What's the Best Approach?

    Jenna, I am so there with you! I have 4 June hosts who I've been trying to contact for weeks and no answer. I finally got ahold of 2 and they said they would call back, but they never did. I'm pretty much ready to give up on them. Since then, I've had 3 more shows booked and the spots are...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    The sun came out! (not literally, it was actually a dreary day...) I just submitted my 8th show at $325! And I had a lady call ME to book a show (promises to be really big) and the sister of the lady I had my last show with call and book a show too! Yeah! Happy Happy! Have fun! It will...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Focus on the fun. Focus on the fun. It's going to be my mantra this week! It is fun. If we have fun, they have fun, they want to host a show, we benefit with more orders. I've been so exhasted this week (new pregnancy along with 3 kids under 4 running around) I've been stressing over things...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    A bit of good news...I finally got a hold of one of the ladies. She is determined to make her catalogue show reach $400, so at least that is taken care of. Then I had my Tues. night host stop by with another $200 or so in orders which brought her close to $425! I'm only $300 and 1 show away...

    Overcoming Sales Slumps: Tips and Support for Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Hi Shelly, My 30 days are ending Friday and I've had a pretty good run so far...I thought June would be great too with 5 bookings. I've been calling the 5 potential hosts for the past 2 weeks and no one will pick up their phone or return my messages! I would much rather have a "no" then an...

    Feeling discouraged after my Grand Opening - Will my business ever take off?

    Thank you, everyone for your uplifting responses. I am feeling a bit better now. I will call a few of those who didn't make it and invite them to host a show. Hopefully some of those will open some doors. I am in a small town and only have 3 main circles with which to work (church...

    Feeling discouraged after my Grand Opening - Will my business ever take off?

    I just finished my open house Grand Opening. I sent out tons of invites (70+), reminded some of them, fixed lots of PC recipies for samples, cleaned my house and only 6 people showed up with less than $100 combined orders and 1 catalogue show booking. I still have 2 other outside orders coming...

    New to Pampered Chef & Need Help to Get a Shower Show

    Hi, I'm still booking my first shows...my open house is next Saturday. I am interested in doing some Bridal Shows (especially since June is THE month for brides around here). I found three engagements in my local paper and was able to look up the bride-to-be's address. Now what? I need...

    Grand Opening...please Look at Flyer

    Carolyn - Here it is in word. I used Publisher, so it may need to be tweaked a bit. Dave - I changed the 2nd winner special to include a monthly host special at 60% off. (I'll cover the difference). I'm also giving them a small serving spatula (I have one extra). Do you think that's enough?

    Grand Opening...please Look at Flyer

    Thanks for the feedback! : ) Lorna, I will definately take your advice. I like that the Winner 2 gets a Host Special too. I was going to give her my small serving spatula (I already have one and I got another in my kit). I will also scale down the entries. That was the list from my...

    Grand Opening...please Look at Flyer

    Hi, I'm very new to PC...I actually just got my kit yesterday. I am so excited to get started. I have my first 3 shows booked in May, but I want to first have an Open House...Grand Opening type thing. My director suggested a Mystery Host format. I created this flyer and would love feedback...
