What is season: Definition and 102 Discussions

If you've been on here a while you might have noticed that I changed my avatar. I decided that it might be good for someone to know what I look like, not just what my feet look like. :)Life is full of changes. Tonight we'll get to see the newest changes to our Pampered Chef lines. I don't know...

Here is the Nov OOF

How many catalogs do you usually go through in a season? Roughly?

What are the new products out for the Fall line?

I'm creating a FB event and can't decide what photo to put in there. Any ideas?

Are you guys hosting your own show this month for your customers? I usually do some sort of Season Kick Off party. I'm undecided on what format to do. In the past, I never seem to get that great of attendance and the last one I did I spent a lot of $$ on food and didn't get much out of it...

I have a bunch of holiday and fall/winter catalogs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do with them to boost my sales since the new catalogs are coming out. I don't want to throw them away!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with the ones you love! :D

November CN came in the mail today with the winter marketing guide and a holiday mini catalog.

I have a girl who booked off of her sister's party. She lives out of state and was just in town for her sister's party, so I set her up to do a catalog show. She was very interested at the time. Then in my follow up with her, she just didn't seem too motivated. Then when I called her again...

Without really trying very hard, bookings, orders, and recruit leads are coming my way from everywhere. I also just entered my first $1200 show and it hasn't closed yet. Retirement from my day job is looking good!

Hello, Does anyone happen to know how much postage is needed to mail 1 Season's Best Cookbook? Thanks!

I usually offer 3 recipes a season (unless HO has a special on something- like last month was the DCB so I only demo'd the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder). I just find it's easier for me to demo the same recipes all season so that I'm comfortable with the recipes and I can concentrate on...

Is anyone else having a really hard time getting bookings for December due to everyone being "busy" with Holiday gatherings and such? I have tried telling the people I am talking to that they can get last minute gifts, bring a catalog to their Holiday gathering and turn that into a catalog...

I decided that I just want to offer 3 recipes this season- so I'm not constantly having to learn a new recipe for a show. I think it will also make me more comfortable and knowledgeable about the products that I'm using consistently and give my show a better flow. I was thinking about...

I am in need of a "business boost" and I listened to Sherr Carr Training Call on Successful Recipe Tasting. I am planning a recipe tasting for the new season recipes on Aug 30. I plan to select an appetizer recipe, 3 to 4 main dish recipes and 2 desert recipes. Most will be made ahead and I...

I've been trying the new recipes out of the SBRB which is where I normally pick my recipes from. Right now I really like the pull apart pizza and the fajita pizza. I was trying to come up with a dessert to offer (three recipes but they only pick one). Then I got to thinking that I should...

I'm cleaning out my office and have several season's worth of these - what do you do with them after the season is over?

We are grilling steaks tonight and wanted to try something different. Usually we use Season-all. What do you usually use to season your steaks?

What is everyone doing as their fall show recipies? I am going to do the carmel apple tarts but what else would be good to showcase for the fall?

Has anyone looked at their website since the new season started? Instead of saying order products mine says nothing and only has a pic of the martini glasses. Anyone else have this? This would really stink if people tried to follow directions on shopping online and looked for "shop online" button.

Okay, so I am signing the contract for my first ever mall booth today...and there is a couple different ways I can pay for this booth. #1- $100 a weekend OR 10% of my sales for the weekend. #2- $50 a week OR 8% of my sales for the week. The way the lady explained it me is that my sales are...

Does anyone recall when the DCB was introduced?

I just got my big "get ready for the new season" supply order and wanted to pass along some info. While I did order the pack of 100 receipts (JM24), the box also included a pack of 50 that I did not order. So apparently, there is still a free pack of receipts this season. The number for that...

Note: Dates for each season will be different, but each season change-over is usually generally the same. Check current communications from HO for specifics. Welcome to season change-over! This can be both exciting and confusing. Here are some tips for you. Dates Check the current...

I have used my DCB only in the microwave, and after many, many uses, it is still not seasoned at all. Any suggestions?

Good Morning Everyone! Wanting to wish everyone a Happy Easter!!! :D

I did a top sales list for each season that I've been a consultant. I found that the Mini Serving Spatula is really the best item in the catalog, I've sold 43 of them in just over a year. Here's my top 10 break down. What's yours? My only question on this list is how does one sell 9 can...

I've never actually watched Biggest Loser before. The promos got to me this year, so I watched the first episode. now I'm hooked. It amazes me what these people go through. I mean, I work out regularly, and I work up a sweat. I can't imagine, though, working out for 5 to 8 hours every day. I...

I am LOVING this show! I just watched last night's episode and I'm so happy!
