What is opportunity: Definition and 138 Discussions

Anyone get in yet? I thought it would be posted yesterday or today?

A co-worker of my DH's has held a craft fair each November for at least the past 20 years and has quite a large following. Last year they moved to a huge building on our State Fairgrounds. Last year I asked her that if they ever considered having direct sales participate to let me know. Well...

Okay, so at 22 he's not exactly a baby, but he'll always be my one and only baby boy. :love: For those who don't know, my son Shawn is at school in Dallas. He will graduate in December with a certification in practical ministry. He has been encouraged by several people in the music industry...

A good friend of mine has been asked to be on LA Ink, to get a tattoo, and he is looking to use it as an opportunity to share his faith. He and his wife and family moved to LA in January, to start a church in the Brentwood area (they are church planters) and he has been called to minister to...

Hi All, My team will be doing a booth at the Butte County Fair (in Gridley, CA) and have shifts available. It will be approx. $8 an hour. The fair runs from 8/20-8/24. If you are interested, please email or PM me and let me know. Thanks!

I just signed #1 and I'm still in my first 90 days! Woo Hoo! I guess it just goes to show that opportunity presents itself when you least expect it. I was just talking with a few co-workers and exchanging a couple recipes. One of the girls put two and two together and realized I was the PC...

I wanted to have shows on Aug. 6 & 7, but so far, no takers. So... i am thinking of doing a show at my house to show off the new Fall items and also "last chance sale" for the discontinued items. Then I thought perhaps an "Opportunity Night" would be a better idea... but then...why not...

I've searched, but haven't found any threads on doing an opportunity night. Anyone done one? & if so, please share your tips/suggestions! A couple other consultants & I are planning on doing one soon, & would love to hear any bits of wisdom!:)

Some time soon, I will have a LOT of boxes coming to my door. (See my "Whilwind of Excitement" thread in the Wave 1 forum. I am thinking of having a "Boxing Day/Christmas in July" gathering for friends and family to see me open the boxes and be like a kid on Christmas. I would have gifts for...

One of my hosts just cancelled her show in July. She said "I hate to do this but I’m going to have to hold off on having that pampered chef party. I go laid off today and don’t know where or what I will be doing than." Now I know I could tell her that I'd fu with her in a month or so to...

I don't know how long this event has been posted on the PC home page, but the events are in less than two weeks(!). It says participants will have the opportunity to talk with successful consultants...well surely, HO coordinated with these 'consultants' before hand. Hmm, I'm going to give...

Did you all see this? http://www.pamperedchef.com/join_us/opp_event.jsp It's on PC's main page and has info on Consultant's Corner... Has anyone heard about this? (Like, did I overlook it in the weekly newswire or something?)

Well, off and running since I got my kit. I'm really shooting to qualify. I have 2 shows and 1 catelog show going. I had another show booked but the host wants to wait awhile. This was alittle difficult because I thought, geesh I/ve just barely left the gate and I'm hit with an objective...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to the boards but have been so impressed with all your helpful advice, that I'm hoping you can suggest whether this opportunity is a good one or not. I'm just 4 months into my PC career so am still 'learning the ropes'. I was offered an opportunity to be part of a...

Hi, Guys and Gals, I hope you are having a great day. I thought I would let you know about a great way to promote your PC business! Kellerfest will take place in Keller, TX town center on May 30th, May 31st and June 1st. They anticipate having 35,000 people there! WOW! What leads that...

Hi, I'm looking for a director in Orange County who would be interested in taking over contact for a large bridal show in Anaheim twice a year. This is a great opportunity for you and your cluster. A group of us consultants have been working with the LA County show successfully and are...

Lately, I have finally been getting into a frame of mind to recruit. I think I have finally overcome the fear of 'being pushy'. (That seems to be the root of all my fears...for recruiting, booking and getting on the phone :o ) I know that with recruiting we are presenting an opportunity and I...

I received a call today from a marketing rep, working with an owner for several Curves in my Area. She asked me if I wanted to donate 3 products for their silent auction for thier members, and invited me to set up a table for 1 day in each of their locations (3 of them) I am looking forward to...

Do we have to earn it at our level? I mean as a director in the past if I didn't recruit enough I could earn it at the consultant or FD level. On the calculator now it doesn't look as though I have that opportunity. Did they take that away from us too? Thanks

I just got my tablecloth and it is so cute. I was able to attend leadership so if anyone is fond of, or doesn't want their striped apron I would be interested. Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks.:angel:

I had the best 2 hours last night! Back in June, I met a consultant with a fairly new company at a vendor fair. We swapped shows (although nobody showed up for hers - but I did get a booking from it!), and have become friends. She told me that she had started her business mostly to do...

My host for Tuesday show called me tonight and said I may have a new consultant soon. Her. She's not happy with her job and she's thinking about trying something new. We're having a informational coffee at Starbucks this Saturday. I hope she signs. I am very excited. I have one active...

Has anyone ever done an Opportunity event? I'm not sure if this is what Pampered Chef calls the cook and book or not. I'd like to do some sort of event before the 15th so I can talk to as many people as possible. I was thinking I would do a low key event where we make some delicious...

I basically just had a craft fair opportunity dropped in my lap! :D My MIL does tons of craft fairs each year, along with her mother and cousin. Well, they just found out that the cousin will not be going to the next one with them - that means they'll have an empty booth space! The only...

Ok, at a cluster meeting, i just got great news.. We can participate in a booth at OpryMills Mall ( this mall gets 60,000 people in traffic on a given weekend..) And basically, there will be 2 of us in the booth in 2 hour rotations..and we pay $30 each. So for $30, i will be sharing the...

I hadn't seen where this has been discussed yet.....forgive me if it has & I've missed it! Have you all called in on the new opp call? I suggest you do & refer it to everyone! I just listened & thought it was AWESOME:thumbup: If we've got potential recruits, then why not have Jean & Nancy Jo...

Hi all! Several Chef Success Directors and I put together this list of tips to help everyone build their teams. Please take a look at it and ask yourself if you are doing every one of them. If you are not doing one of them, give it a try. Hopefully it will have a huge impact on your business...

Does anyone have a copy handy - The site is down and I need to email it to someone!

This is my first year going to Conference, and I was just wondering if, while we are there, we are given the opportunity to make suggestions about things like PP3 or other good ideas we may have. I know that when I hear new ideas, it sometimes sparks other new ideas about how we could do...
