What is book: Definition and 200 Discussions

Okay so I met someone at a park in my community. She gave me her first name, I knew she lived close to the park from our conversation. She asked me for a catalog and said she would "do a show for me". Well then my 3 year old started acting up. I never got her info. (I know bad consultant)...

I have a shower on the 15th and don't really know what to do for a game or something. I saw the 1950 home ec book with todays additions but not sure how you do it. Please share

What makes someone too busy? I guess people have different definitions of "too busy". In November, I had a lady at a show who said that she wanted to book for late Spring...but to call her in March to set a date. Okie-dokie.I called in March, and called and called. I also emailed. So...

Hi! I need some help on how to book new parties at current parties. I am fairly new (11-08) and still have not caught onto that skill. Any suggestions/what do you do?

I'm pretty new. I was wondering how far out a new consultant should book. I've heard both 2 weeks and 3 weeks. I was concerned that if you book 3 weeks out the host will lose interest. Thanks. Judy

Seems the fax # on the form is not correct. I Googled the tour company and found a phone #, which I've been trying to call now for about 30 mins and it's busy.I contact HO and they are looking into it.I sent the tour company an email and have not received a response.Anyone else?

I have a guest from a show this weekend who wants to book twice off the host. She wants to have a show at the end of this week (to qualify for February's Host Special) AND she wants to book a show for April too. Can I put her in for two bookings for this host? I know she can hold as many...

My husband just came home from the store (Drug Mart, for those around here) with a coupon book from Budweiser. It's a Bud Bowl, Big Game, Big Party, Big Savings booklet. He said there was a pile of them at the courtesy counter. Great coupons in here! Like $10 mail in rebate on bottled water...

Hey...has anyone read this book? I ordered it from Crossings but haven't received it yet. I finished the Twilight series awhile back and I am looking for something good to read. I loved the Twilight series and now I am having a hard time because there is nothing more...lol. So, anyone have...

I am looking for a copy of the More Stoneware Sensations. Does anyone have a copy thats in good conditions that they are willing to part with? Let me know. Thanks, Annie:chef:

:chef:I bought a magazine at the grocery store the other day, it's from Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publications and is called the Ultimate Slow Cooker. You have got to see it! It is loaded with some fabulous recipes that I just know could be adapted to the Deep Covered Baker. I'm...

I am desperately looking for the Cook N Book booklet that PC put out. I've looked on CC and in the files section here. I'm not losing my mind am I? There was a booklet, right? It told what to do when and how long each thing should take. If anyone has the document or knows where I can dowload...

I am still in my 30 days and this situation has taught me a few valuable lessons. I had a host, who is my daughter's teacher at daycare, that really wanted a mini loaf stoneware pan. I talked her into doing a show over Thanksgiving. Well, she ended up with a total of $108 in sales. She put...

Hey guys I have a CnB coming up on the 2nd with my fledgling team. I've never conducted one before. Any tips? Suggestions on making it flow well? I plan on showing the trip video during the video segment. My current team members have all done parties. Some have issues with prep beforehand...

I just completed a photo book that I am going to give DH for Christmas. I thought it would be fun to start a thread where everyone can share their photo books. I would love to see what everyone else has done. here is the link, I hope it works. Daddy and Me Photo Book

I have been trying to think of ways to generate some additional bookings for the remainder of November and all of December. I have an idea of sending a personal email to each individual on my email mailing list asking them if they would like to host a Cooking or Catalog show in one of the two...

I just had to share about this book. We got it out of the library last week and it has instantly become a favorite here! My kids LOVE IT (they are 4 and 2), and I love reading it. It's one of those really fun books to read! My mom asked us to get it for her for Christmas after reading it to...

I just bought this book which was written by Brother Yun, on a recommendation from a friend. I was told to free up an entire day to read it, so I'm doing just that. I was just curious of any one out in CS land has ever read this book and I'm wondering what you thought? I was told it will...

I'm making more CCC this weekend, looking to book November and/or get participants in my $1000 mystery catty show (halfway there and only sent out invites on Wed.). I'm not pushing to book cooking shows in December b/c I am due Dec. 15, but my doctor's think I will deliver early...possibly as...

I've had several shows the past couple of weeks, and every time it comes time to talk about hosting a show, everyone gets really excited and says they want to do it. Then when we talk about the details and picking a date- they ALL chicken out! Tonight was the same story. I had three girls...

Hi All!!!! I've been a lurker here for a couple of years, using the tips and advice that i read on here. I do have a question, and I'm sure someone here can give me some pointers. I ALMOST let my PC biz go this year, but with 2 weeks before my year of being inactive was up, I was able to...

So I held my first ever cook and book today! Yay!! The only thing I was afraid was that I had never held one and I only had one RSVP! But that was okay for me because I she's my FD and I'll spend all day answering and training for her. :) Well she called me at 12:30 to let me know that...

I really like the format and think it could be a really good thing to do regularly. Although I cut out the video portion and changed it to the Full Service Checkout and how to handle the NO.I had just one consultant show up. One hospitality gal who had RSVP'd was a no show. If I had known she...

I am doing a fair of sorts this weekend and have a few dates I want to fill on my October calendar~I need an idea that encourages someone to book any of them first....but the catch is that I don't want to rule out future bookings for November or December. I need something with urgency for...

I just started PC this week and have a lot of people at work who want to place orders for the holidays but really dont want to do a show themselves. Can I do the show and get the host special? I know that sounds weird but I just want to see if thats how it works. Or am I better off just putting...

Has anyone heard of The Doctors Book of Food Remedies? I got a flyer about it in the mail and am curious if anyone out there owns it, has read or has any info on it. Is it worth me buying it? Do the remedies actually work? I looked at half.com and can get one for pretty cheap, but should I spend...

I just got on Amazon and found that Paula Deen is going to be releasing a new book on October 7th geared toward cooking in the kitchen with your little ones. I am soooo excited over this one. I can hardly wait for it to come out. It's called Paula Deen's My first cookbook. My DS is 2 and is just...

I really want to book some fundraisers for the Fall/Winter Season. I have not done any fundraisers yet so I would love some ideas or suggestions on how to get started? Thanks :)
