I am ISO: UPDATE: Thanks for all of the replies! I am still looking for a couple things but need to replenish my PP logo wear in size small or medium (short or long sleeved)-found a few pieces, interested in more though tool turn about carrier-found the tote that holds the...

I am new to pampered chef and this site and I love it. I am doing my first festival this weekend in my hometown so I am excited about that. Tonight I was setting up with my hospitality director and telling her all the stuff I learned just by reading on here. I love this website. It has helped so...

okay i am in my first 30 days and having my own catalog show. now would i still get the charter host gift??

I am SO sorry to bug you with this. I have searched forums and threads and I can't find the answer myself. :( WHEN will PC give us the new product sample groupings? When I sign in now I still see the spring/summer packages. I feel better now that I realize I can probably order the...

Hi, I am a newbie and know that I have to wait till I sell 1250 to open up access to outlet purchases, but when do the current outlet specials end? Was that mentioned at conference? There are some items that friends of mine want, but I'd rather wait till the end of this month to get the...

I'm a newbie - I just schedulede my first and second show and now I need to buy office supplies. Does anyone have a suggestion for what I need to get started for my first couple of shows? THANKS :confused:

Hi everyone! My Name is Jessica. I am from a small town outside of Omaha Nebraska. I just joined PC on Wed July 8th (my birthday actually! it was my birthday gift to myself, well my husband acutally!!) I love this website I am learning so much from everyone and getting great tips on what to do...

Hello all! I have long been a Pampered Chef lover, and as of today, I'm a Pampered Chef Consultant. So, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'm used to pretty immediate e-mail confirmations from, well, every company. I submitted my online agreement about 6 hours ago, and have still no recieved...

Is the sales tax according to the address of the host? I've got a catalog show going but the host lives in one county - took it to work in a different county & is getting orders from some people in a 3rd county! LOL But since it's shipping to her home I use her county's sales tax, right...

Hi, I am a newbie... Consultant years ago before PWS... I haven't hit my 1250, but I want to set up a website. Am I correct in assuming, that hosts can send evites, I can receive outside orders from shows, and organize and advertise- but I am just unable to receive individual orders, wedding...

Ok. So I just realized that when I send evites for my host, if I send them from my PWS section where I set up the shows, etc....it puts the return email address as MY name, not the hosts. I didn't realize that I need to log-in as the Host through my PWS and then send them that way- so it has...

Hi Everyone! I am from West TN and just found this site yesterday! I am learning so much from all of you! I can't wait to share this site at my cluster meeting! I joined PC in Aug '08 and I am LOVING it! If only I could get other people interested and get some recruits!!

Hello everyone, Very new to PC. I had my first party on May 31st. I guess I have been lurking and absorbing everyone's wonderful tips and ideas. Thanks for all the wonderful posts and recipes. What a great resource found by accident surfing the net! Anyone else out there from CA?

Hi guys! I am new to CS. I have been with PC since Feb 08, and I am currently a director. I have a TL who is getting really close to promoting. WOOT! I have an amazing husband and 4 awesome kids. I hope to get to know many of you better! Becky

Newbie here! One of my customers has the following questions.... "I thought I sealed my new large round stone but I cooked frozen pizza on it last night and it stuck pretty good. I cleaned it off the best I could and then sealed it. Will it be ok?" Please help me out!!!:chef:

My name is Stacey and I signed up on March 31st. I have had 2 shows and my kick off show and I am loving it!! Thanks Paulette for inviting me here. I signed up under my wonderful Paulette! :)

I ordered the wrong product for a guest because she didn't write down the product number (lesson learned!) and only wrote "mini measuring" when she wanted the Easy Read Mini Measuring Cup. But because I searched with what she wrote, the first one that popped up was the Mini Measure-All, and...

I just signed up.. I'm so excited. My daughter is 13 and is a wonderful baker. I am a good cook .Together we hope to do well and have fun.. My husband does not have faith in me as I have not done so well in other sales. ( I am in the car business) I love to cook and in this time of age I'm...

Hi All! Hoping to get some insight from some of you who have been to conference before so I know how to plan. I'm not sure I understand correctly. On the first day is there time for newbies to do the tour, etc.? Is there any reason I would want to get there early on Sunday (7/12) to have...

Okay so I got some leads from a Home & Garden show and I am really discouraged now. Out of the 9 that I got in touch with (spoke to a real live person) I got absolutely no bookings. I asked them if this was a good time to talk, had conversation, talked a little bit about the Home & Garden Show...

I need some advice. I'm very new to this but really want to make it work. My previous job was mostly with men who now laugh at me when I tell them what I'm doing on the side. I'm currently laid off. My problem is this. I don't know very many people but have been doing two catty shows that...

Help, :cry:I just had my third show which actually booked off my open house (My first show) and got not one booking off of it. I only have one more show which is the 28th of this month and I am so afraid I won't have any parties for March. I am going to do my OOB calls this weekend from my 2nd...

Hi, I'm new to the site, and to Pampered Chef. As a matter of fact I've not even signed my agreement yet. I'm getting together w/ my consultant tomorrow to plan, and will be signing my agreement in one month. I am newly unemployed, and am enjoying being with my 7 month old so very much that I...

Can someone explain what exactly is SAT? I have heard it mentioned so many times, but I don't know if I qualify. Please fill me in.

I am still fairly new. This is my first change over, so I have a few questions :) 1. When will the spring catalog take effect? Is it March? 2. When will be get our new supplies (like the catalogs)? 3. When will we get the products we've earned through the SAT? 4. When can we...

Hello everyone Just thought I would say hello and introduce myself. I'm Teresa and I've just started out with Pampered Chef. I did my first show on Monday night and it well although I was a little nervous. I live in Dorset which is on the south coast. Teresa

I know this sounds really dumb but I am so excited. I moved to a new area and the only few shows I booked here were cancelled (back in Sept) due to hurricanes. Since then nobody has been willing to do one, most wont even talk to me. They all say that with the economy the way it is they do not...

Quick question. On my last submitted show (only my 2nd one), I had two orders that are direct-ship. One was placed through my website for the show and she did the direct shipping obviously. The second was an order received at my Booth event on the 1st. It too is a direct-ship. I’ve submitted...

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie of sorts... I used to be a consultant in the late 90s. I decided I needed a "me" outlet and a way to have some adult interaction, so I am giving Pampered Chef another go. I have two boys, 2 1/2 and 7 months, they keep me busy. Looking forward to...

I was under the impression that whatever the host buys is NOT commissionable- is that right? When I entered my last show into Pampered Partner, it counted the host's order in the "commissionable sales." So if I needed to get $1250 in commissionable sales for the month, then I just add up...
