What is parties: Definition and 110 Discussions

Mileage for parties do we get paid this on our commission check? Or do we write it off at the end of the year? I know what a commissionable sale is for the guest. For the host I know that the half price items and host special are not commissionable. Is everything else commissionable after...

I have more than one Am. Cancer Society fundraiser ~ setting them up on the computer so that guests log into the right fundraiser is confusing. How are you all setting these up? It asks for Organization name.... "Am Cancer Society" will bring up more than one. Suggestions please? How are...

I am not sure how to do this...In February Rachel had a cooking show and Barb booked a party for March. When I contacted Barb about confirming her party for the date she stated she wanted to do (2) parties; 1 in March for family and 1 in April for friends. I said "TERRIFIC". Can Rachel use...

Do you make your own recipe cards to hand out and distribute OR does PC have them somewhere to order that I haven't discovered yet? If you make them can you tell me how? I think that would be a real boost to parties.

parties without actually cooking at them? I an afraid that I would mess up at a party trying to demonstrate in front of a group of people and then the recipe would be messed up. Also, is there a charge to me if I accept credit/debit cards from people. Some people from different direct...

On Pampered Chef Consultant's Corner it states: Effective March, 2006 most Monthly Guest Specials will be available ONLY to customers who attend Shows or place outside orders associated with a Show. This provides hosts with a special offering they can extend to their guests to entice them to...

Hello All, I'm having my first men's only party (I'm actually hosting it) and I'm a little apprehensive about whether or not I should do the "games" that I generally do for a show. I'm having some "manly" food (Touchdown Taco Dip, Calzone, etc.) and beer & pop. Has anyone had a successful...

Do guests still get the monthly special on catalog partys?

I am new to PC and I work a fulltime job. I am having trouble booking parties right now due to the holidays, I have a bunch for January set up. Have any of you tried placing newspaper ads, and if you have did they work? Any help you can share would be appreciated!

I want this flyer to be for all types of shows-kitchen, catalog, internet or combination of kitchen, catalog and internet. My plan is to use this in ALL my host packets. I cannot at this time mail invitations for all host. And I have to keep in mind that all host don't want to use or have...

I was wondering if any one has ever tried doing a survivor show on the night survivor is showing. I have alot of friends that won't miss this show for anything. I was thinking, why not tivo the show. Have a theme show similar to survivor, then when the food is ready to eat, watch survivor...

Well, I have just had two more cancelled shows for this month, and two more parties that were booked that said no. Another is iffy because the host had surgery. Another host, party on Fri., won't return my calls. The party I shadowed produced no bookings despite two calls to the host and her...

These theme nights are a great idea. I would like it if anyone can give me the step by step guide on how to do a theme night. I've been to 6 parties and they are basically the same and i've been doing this since May '05 but have never achieved a bonus yet. I thought maybe a theme party will go...

In the past month I've had 3 shows cancel (actually 1 rebooked and 1 will rebook, she's waiting for her hubby's health to improve). Not letting that get me down I pushed for some catalogue sales and got enough to count as a show. I then got what I thought was a "brilliant" idea to host my own...

I'm about to become a new consultant in about a month or so after I finish moving. Right now I'm trying to get some information. My questions are: How does everyone like working for PC and is the Money what you thought it would be? Also when you do a party does the hostess take care of buying...

Since I now live in the south, are there themes or parties ppl have tried that work best down here? I thought about the obvious sweet tea and putting some lemon zest in it..

I got this recipe in my e-mail today. I thought it was the cutest cake and perfect for summer. I think it could possibly be adapted with using pampered chef tools maybe at a show. The cake could be made in the stones ahead of time. It was just a thought and it was too cute not to post on this...

I have done everything. No one wants to book parties!! IT IS SUMMER!! I told the hostess about August host special and I told the guests several times. They like the bowls and they said the special was a great price, but they do not want to host shows. That was my first show. All the guests...

I have seen some people holding online parties, which seems like a good way to help a catalog party hostess. However, I am worried that it violates TPC's Advertising and Publicity Guidelines re: the web. Any thoughts? Paula in TN

Hello, I'm a brand new consultant (first party next week). I've really been enjoying all the tips and hits you have on the board. I do have a question though. Can include an orders for items for yourself on a hostesses party? I realize I can't count that towards my commissions, but I...
