What is coaching: Definition and 138 Discussions

I'm looking for some words of wisdom here...I have a consultant that I need to do coaching with. She e-mailed me last week asking if we could have some phone time. I e-mailed her back with 2 specific times I would be available to work with her and she could call me at either time and when she...

I have a new team member. We'll call her Tenetta. She was a hostess in May. In May she would not allow me to host coach her. "I have been in sales for years...don't insult my intelligence by trying to tell ME how to have MY Pampered Chef show." She refused to give me her guest list. Managed...

I had a guest who booked a party 3 weeks from the party she was invited to. Low and behold, she didn't get me her guest list until Thursday and because of working over time her host packet and invites didn't get in the mail until Saturday. This means it will be Tuesday before I talk to her...

I have my first catalogue show going on and I am having a hard time host coaching my host. She doesn't have voicemail so I have only been talking to her twice. I have sent emails but haven't received a response. She said she was excited and had some orders but hasn't spoken with me...

What do you do differently for a repeat host? I have a couple hosts who have several parties with me in a year (this current host is going to have her third party since August!). I just feel like alot of the stuff I tell them is repeating what they already now so I try to highlight new things...

How often do you coach catalog hosts? Do you call them often or just let the go until the close date and extend if you have to?

i was calling my host for next sat and she ended up cancelling because her soon to be hubby is going to be gone for 2 months and she had the nerve to tell me know why not at the home show when she booked it? and she said that her soon to be hubby wants to be ther for it too so maby when he gets...

Do you use a host coaching sheet from PC? Which one, the host information sheet or the host coaching sheet? Do you use your own? If you do use your own, would you mind posting it?

I am so bad at host coaching! I don't like calling my hosts because I guess I'm afraid they'll say "I need to reschedule" or "nobody's coming" so I wait until the last minute and then they usually do cancel or I get a horrible attendance. For example, I have a party on Friday that I scheduled...

Does anyone do one? How does it work and do you think it is worthwhile?

I had a show last week with only 2 guests attending (bad weather, Saturday night-who knows why) We went on with the show and prepared the Mini Pesto Pizzas together. Luckily both guests had big shopping lists so I left with the party at $250 (whew!) I talked to the host about getting those...

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...

I am trying to get better at host coaching but need some help with what I could do to help my host better. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. My shows go anywhere from a $150 - $1100 show so I don't know what to do to help things get better. Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Does anyone have terrific hints or flyers they use when host coaching Catalog Show hosts? Thanks so much for sharing!

I just closed a show for over $900 and the host used half off to get the full stainless steel set. I just earned another piece for pan-o-rama and I'm over $2000 for the month! Keeping in touch with your host can make a big difference. PS- I sent out the invites for her!

I just finished booking my 9th show for November, with a goal of 12. Does anyone have a "tracking sheet" or document that you use to help you keep track of hostess coaching? Just thought I'd ask before I reinvent the wheel!

So last night i took the hosting coaching in online training course and i loved it i think it probably covers everything you see in the things we get when we start pampered chef but I loved how it was more insiteful with things on how and what exactly to say to your hostess and i liked how it...

I have some awesome info that my director just passed down from Laura Morris. This has a some great catalog templates and cooking. Hope you guys enjoy.

Does anyone have a Catalog show Host coaching sheet? I was thinking if there was one made up it would be easier to host coach them! Thanks!

So I have been looking in the Consultant Guide Book and a few other resources to find my answer before posting but cannot find anything difinitive enough for me. I want to use these little calendar stickers in my host packs that says when to pass out invites and call guests to remind them...

My SIL is suppose to have a show on Monday....I talked to her 3 weeks ago when she scheduled her show and I sent a packet to her...I haven't talked to her since. She was gone for a week on a business trip and I have tried to call her several times but no answer. I hate to call her at work but...

Hi all! I had some Recruiting Training all day today with Darla Oelmann. There were about 30 of us there and she is just soooooooo great with training! One thing I heard today that I WILL incorporate is this: When doing your host coaching, go over ALL of the host benefits with them...

I had someone ask me if I had one of these and I have no clue where the ones I got when I started are. Does anyone have anything like this?

For the first time with PC, I'm booked solid for the next 2 months. At my Sep. shows I will be booking for Nov/Dec. I use the company's time schedule for contacting hosts with the 3 calls and I send Nancy's artworks postcards to thank for booking, remind mailing invites, reminder to call...

Okay you guys I'm new and I was wondering how everyone else does the timing on their host coach calls. How long before the show each one is? Do some of you do e-mail rather than the phone? Any other advice you feel like giving. Thanks for the info CJ
