What is happen: Definition and 39 Discussions

I just checked my answering machine messages and I am so angry I can't see straight! In January I changed both my direct deposit AND payment account information. Financial services called me to confirm the account number. I called them before submitting my January show to make sure it...

I have a host who received her order today and there was a packet of at least 15-20 full catalogs in it - I didn't take time to count them. She gave them to me along with another customer's order that I was delivering. Anyone else had this happen? Maybe they printed way too many of this season's...

I just signed someone at my show tonight:woohoo: Yeah for Spring Launch!!! She wants to make this her full time job so we started talking tonight about building a team and she went home and recruited her adult daughter(who I have never met) The only problem is the daughter has a child and...

I have a guest who I did an adjustment for today from a March show. She's returning the DCB (!!!??) and getting a bunch of other stuff instead. FedEx is coming to pick it up starting tomorrow. Gave her all the instructions, then she just emailed me and said she can't find the receipt. Aaaah...

I have a cons who was HO lead. I have met her 1 time at one of my meetings that she attended. She has never sent in any sales and has not returned my calls for months... yes, we have all had that right. BUT, apparently she took an order and cashed the customer check and never turned the order...

So I have my first cooking show on the 10th and if I've learned anything in sales it's that there is always something unexpected that happens. So does anyone have any fun or interesting stories of things that have gone wrong during shows?

So I have a former consultant who has moved to town...I met her about a year ago. She is all settled here now. I saw her again a month ago at a Holiday Extravaganza a friend and I did here in town (21 booths of different DSA/craft people) and she really wanted the Stainless Bowls. She books a...

I need to rant for a few lines so bear with me because I"m sure you can relate. I had my very first Mystery Host Show/Custmer Appr. on Sunday and not one person showed. I did have about 8 RSVP out of 80 invites that I sent out. I sent emails, text and when I saw them "on the street" did a...

I had a lady just call me w/ a problem. She ordered on my website under his sister's show. She got her shipment today, & the box had her name & address on it. When she opened the box, there was another lady's receipt & products in the box. & nothing that was her's. I'm waiting for a call back...

I have a client who thought when she went to PC.Com to sign up for bridal reg she would get me because we live in the same town. I just talked to her mom today and found out she was getting married and told her about PC reg, she continued to tell me that "tami" already signed up and had the...

Okay, so my hostess who's show I am closing today just told me that she had problems with my website. She put in my website address off the back of my catalog and placed an order - now granted she didn't place the order correctly because she didn't enter herself as the hostess (this was an...

Is anyone having issues with there sheet pans looking nasty after they have been washed a few times?? I use my sheet pans ( I have 2) all the time and they are not holding up well in the dishwasher. They are starting to look like they did when we had the issue with them the 1st time around...

I didnt know where to put this but wanted some input, I'd advertised on Craigslist a few times and the last time I put my link for my website and did nto realize what I'd done for a couple hours, I removed it but left the rest of the add up... got yelled at by HO. NBD it was a mistake and I...

I have a consultant on my team who has a Canadian friend who wants to order from her here in the US? I've never done this. Someone have an answer to this?

I know people who own their own home-based businesses-similar to The Pampered Chef. They bought the "starter-kits", such as ours which is $155, for whatever the cost was for them, JUST to get the huge amount of products for such a low cost. They plan to sell just enough each month to get their...

This is the first person I am host coaching because every other host didn't really seem to care. I have my host so excited about everything. The show is Friday and she has almost $2,000 in outside orders already and an expected 15 guests for her show. I can't believe it. She loves the...

Okay, remember the story last month of the gal who I *think* is a consultant and was forwarding my newsletter to her customers? Well, I just checked the stats on my April newsletter, and I have another person, one that I know was a customer and not a consultant, who has over 60 opens over the...

I am noticing that the information I put into PP is not being saved - it goes back to the default setting the next time I open up the program. I just got off the phone with Tech Supp and they said 'that is not possible'. :( Last night, I was SO stressed out because I could not believe I have...

I have a show tomorrow night. The host calls me today and told me not to buy the ingredients per our original conversation because she can't pay me back for the ingredients. She told me not to worry about making any food, that she would try to have some things there and serve them on the stone...

I am not sure if this is the right place but what happen to the Franklin Covey planner's for Consultants???? I can't find the link anyplace on the website!

The host of last nights show requested that I bring lots of products because she had no PC (other that what she just bought off of the person she booked from)...and she thought the guests would like to see lots of things. So I did. She is a vet at our new animal hospital and I wanted to please...

Several days ago I got an idea on what to do with my about to expire catalogues. I decided to use "a Pampered Chef consultant lives in your neighborhood flyer" along with an introduction letter. I put in on the mailbox rather than in (I know putting in the mailbox is a crime) Yesterday I put...

I looked at my calendar and it said the 15th. I did not get paid if that is the case.

I thought I saw a thread re: this same topic, delaying of HO debiting our acct. for shows but could not find it and add my comments? So anyways, today I had 2 shows delivered and still they have not deducted it from my acct! I thought that was really strange so I double checked the method of...

I was reading some funny things on another thread and thought it would be fun to have a thread dedicated to the wacky things that happen to us or at our shows... For me the funniest was this last fall I did a show for repeat host and her husband (They are the nicest people in the whole...

Had a show tonight - it went really well - you know, I was very comfortable, full of tips, graceful (not common!) etc. Here's the funny/weird part..... At the end, I wrapped it up and said "well that concludes my presentation and...." Before I could finish, do you know that all the...
