Let's say a host is a good friend of yours/co-worker for 20 years... She decides she doesn't need to purchase a host special. If you wanted one, would you ask her if you could use the benefit for yourself and pay for it yourself? Or is this addressed in the contract as a no-no? (can you...

This site is always so helpful. I have a customer asking if our sprinkles have perservatives. Shes allergic to it. Does anyone know? :mad:

I have a catalog show host that just e-mailed me this: For some reason the 'outlet' items and the cancer items are not available from your site but are on the PC site, is there a way we can fix that? What's the best way to respond?

I am rather new (since Aug 2010) and I have a freind that has been in direct sales for 2 companies (not PC) for over 2 yrs. And she has been offering suggestions and advice and even helped me make contact with an organizer of a very nice up-comming vendor show. Now she is PUSHING me to have...

I feel silly for asking this but what are product bags? What is the difference between the mdeium and large and the difference between them and the shopping bags? :D Rose

How do you ask people on facebook to book shows from you? Is there a script that can be sent to all your friends? I have never done this before. Can I ask my friends on facebook if they would like to book a party from me?

I need some non-biased feedback on whether I did the right thing or not. My neighbor/friend has a 8 year old daughter who comes over my house frequently. Last week she was at our house and she wrote her first & last name on my 8 year old son's wooden desk in his room. This desk is not easy...

Just wanted to share....one was a Home Office Lead (I was a HO lead, too!), just wanted to know how to sign up and has her first shows ready to go.The other is a past host that has been on the fence for quite a while. Moral of the story -- some will be easy, some will take time, but all are...

I don't know, maybe I'm just crabby lately, but there seem to be LOTS of questions about basics of the business on CS lately. Yes, I know it's a resource, but it should not be ones only source of training. Many of my responses to such questions have been "have you asked your director?"...

I seem to always get the most interesting emails from customers and hosts.... Here is one I received this morning....I've emailed her back for some confirmation, but I'm just not sure what she is wanting from me....am I supposed to recruit this person, or what? (oh - and this email comes...

I was at the store today, with my catalog tote of course, and chatted up the woman in line in front of me. She commented on my bag and that she loved PC, and we scheduled a party for later in the month. I asked what she did - ready for this? President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce in the...

I have a customer asking for some recipe ideas using the Asian and Chipotle seasoning/rubs. I searched the files and came up with a few things for the Asian (aside from my own suggestions), but could use some suggestions for the Chipotle rub. TIA!

Hi all, I've again asked for prayers for my friend's daughter Dezy!! Some of you might remember previous posts…..she's been in and out of the hospital since Thanksgiving and she's going to be 18 on June 13th, can’t believe that!! What's really special about Dezy is that she's got...

I really want to tap into the bridal market here in my area. There are quite a few bridal stores and tuxedo shops that I would love to put our wedding registry brochure in, in a nice display of course. :confused: So here's my question: I know a few of the owners to some of these shops, should...

I figure someone on here can help me - my host for June said a friend did "Sassy Salsa" at her party a while back and that it went over really well and everyone bought all the stuff that was used to make it.She says it has something creamy in it. I have no clue what salsa recipe that would...

I'm asking for (more) prayers again for the Mower Family..................... Hi all, I asked for prayers awhile ago for Dezy and praise God, she survived when doctors gave up. She's almost 18 in body years, but mentally she's about 7 and is a total survivor, she's been written off by...

I'd like to ask friends and family for recruit referrals. Who has done this before, how, and what were the results?

This is what I sent to HO: "I am wondering how it will work if I want to choose different items. I received the medium sheet pan as part of my sample package. I received the large sheet pan as my host rewards on my own show #80 How will my amount to select new products be figured...

but i thought i read somewhere and i thought my director told me that there are things that a new consultant can order on the supply list for free. where do i find that info? and how many times (incase i forget something) in 30 days can you submit a supply order?

Just wondering what your opinion is on the Flyer that I use. My Consultant's Corner - Resource for Pampered Chef Consultants For some reason, it's not showing up as a link in this post. Please go to my earlier post and check out the link and flyer. Thanks, Bobby

Does anyone check with hosts during host coaching as to whether or not host or any guests have allergies to any foods? I didn't use to but after a show where someone almost freaked out at nuts (I had no advanced warning) I was preparing for the warm nutty carmel brownies. I felt bad and...

My very good friend in Virginia has a niece that has been critically injured in a car accident in Maryland - on Sunday. We are asking for prayers for Alyvia and family wherever we can get them. The doctors all say they have never seen anyone hang on like she has and we all know it is Jesus. I...

First of all the joyous news I got today! - Tammy is 39 and has 2 boys, 6 & 8. She just found out after trying for 4 years that she is pregnant!!! YAY! We are so thrilled and besides her hubby, I am the only one that knows. She is 5 weeks along. We are praising God but at the same time...

It's probably been covered before, but what in your opinion is the best way to ask for referrals? I would like to double my business and that means double the shows and recruits! I need a way to ask thats not pushy or prepackaged or salesman-ish. Thanks!

Over a month ago I submitted a product adjustment for a show. The host received two extra items and was missing two items. The two extra items were tiny--like less than $5 each. I received an email back that they were shipping the two new items and then another email saying that they were sorry...

I have a red hoodie, size small, that I purchased from a fellow Cheffer and it's a little bigger than I like. It zips up the front & has the PC logo in yellow on the left chest. I have never worn it. Asking $10 (what I paid for it) plus shipping. Email me with questions or for pics. Thanks!

My neighbor loves cooking, catering etc. He talks to me often about PC. I just had my first kids show last weekend...and they booked a show with me. Today they tell me (I say they because the wife is telling me the info about her hubby) that he really wants to do PC. So, Im still new to this...
