I have a sincere question. I was called to do a fundraiser and just did a Bridal show in an area that has a high precentage of minorities. I am caucasian. At the fundraiser I was the only person that was white. The look on the kids faces when they saw me setting up was priceless. They...

Hi, I have a bridal shower booked for 5/4, and just found out it's going to be between 75-80 ladies. I have no idea what to make. I am new, and have just turned in my 1st 4 shows, and over 1250 in sales. I didn't realize how big this was going to be. I was thinking about 15-20. I'm...

Hi, I'm in dire need of a cheap recipe for an april show that has at least 30 people rsvp. The hosts are looking for approximately 50 but not sure if that many will show or not. I'll be doing one demo and need it to be jaw dropping to get my sales up....HELP!!!!

sign up and on the first one we had her party and NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE showed up for it. She was going to use her FPV toward her kit. Well needless to say she did NOT sign up. Then I had another one that really wanted to sign up and she had a party so she could use her FPV and had a fairly good...

They can come to her party and dont have to order anything. This is my second show and my mom and her best friend (a lady I work with and know very well) are cohosting a show. Well I asked the other lady if she had made a guest list. And she keeps naming off people "well lynn can come but I...

Forgive my wording here, but I am doing a show for my mother and her friends on Thursday night. I will be able to make ahead whatever I need to and pop them into the oven/frig/freezer/wherever. But, what are the best ideas for what to serve when the people have been to other PC shows. These...

A few years back, all my first cousins on my mom's side started getting together for a reunion (we are all now 30+ in age with a variety of ages of kids ranging from 2-20). Well, this year, we picked Mall of America to meet and go to since none of us have been there (we live in WI, IL, IN...

I was just curious if anyone has create Product Flyers for different "types" of people. You know....the "hate to cook" persons, "college students", etc...... Hopefully you get the idea. That way, I could throw out some good ideas for customers what types of products might fit their needs. :D

BUT she's refusing to make reminder calls! Says she doesn't want to bug people. I'm going to call her tomorrow and offer to do them for her. I *NEED* her show to be good this month!

Do you have to talk to people or are they automated?

I have had some people say they will book a show but they won't give me a date. How can I give people to give me a definite date? I need to start filling up my calenddar. Any advice would be great.

I have a question and gripe! Maybe I need to ask this at the home office but why when you go to Pampered Chef website it says shop online[B] and you click on that and then it asks for your zip code and then person enters that and it pulls up a consultants website! I have not signed up for a...

I will be doing a Christmas fair next weekend. I normally have a hard time getting people to save a date at the fair itself. What do you do to get people to book right then in there instead of just saying they will and never getting a date on the calendar?

I've been trying pretty hard lately to be sure that I do a good job Host Coaching. Usually, I think I do as my average show sales are up to about $700 - 800 per Cooking Show. But do you ever have that host who 'just doesn't get it'? I recently had two shows that could not be more...

Hey Everyone, I have a show tonight w/15 people attending; however, 6 of them have to leave after only 1/2 hour for a choir group they belong to. How should I handle this? Should I just have the food ready when they all arrive? I don't want to stop in the middle of cooking to take...

What is everyone making in October?

Okay, I have a show next saturday with 30 rsvps so far. I was wondering, do I give each person a catalog? Do I just set a few on each table and let them share. If I do give each person a catalog - how do I encourage them to return them if they don't plan to use in the future or pass along to...

How do you promote your PC business? I'm in the process of starting a personal chef business and want to promote PC. My new business will be my main focus now and PC I want to average 4-6 shows a month. They both go hand and hand and I wondered what others do. Thanks, Katie

Hi! Last Friday I did a show for my sis-in-law who is a royal pain in the you-know-what. She invited 40 people though, so I was psyched! She told me she wanted food for 25 people.....plus, I mailed her invites and bought all the ingredients. 12 people showed ALL WITH THEIR KIDS. She...

I am having a hard time dealing w/ people telling me 'NO'. Also w/ inferiority (sp?). I had a girl (3 hours away) order through a fund raiser I did. Well, the shipment is due at her work tomorrow, and I still haven't been paid. I was fighting w/ calling the people who ordered through her...
