I'm just trying to figure this all out. I have a laptop that I can take to shows. So say I do that, and I enter all their orders and payment information. What is the benefit of doing it that way? I will not be able to bring a printer, so I can't print the receipts right then. I'd have to...

Relative newbie consultant here... I assume that the Wave 1, 2 or 3 is so that the conference isn't overrun with PC people and everyone can fit. How do you know which Wave you should be in -- do you pick by date or is it assigned by your Director or their upline? Can anyone give me any...

Hi, I'm interested in joining Pampered Chef, but have had no luck in finding a local consultant in my area (Lithonia, GA). I have not been to a show since my Mom did Pampered Chef 15 years ago; I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I would like information on the whole PC process beginning...

I am doing PC part time ( have a FT job) but find myself in my office every night (that I don't have a show) for at least 2 or more hours. My husband is feeling like a PC widower I think. But I am the kind of person who needs to be organized (raised 4 kids - had to be). How do other P/T PC...
