So... I, along with alot of other photographers, actively use Facebook fan pages to market our business. So I was thinking about this (as I was reading another consultant's fairly blatant disregard of rules of FB advertising - every other status update is about PC...but I digress)... Can a...

How would you guys feel about having a nice brainstorming session and a place for accountability to work with any recruit leads we might have? Sandra's recent post about "Recruiting Professionals" got me thinking. Maybe we have some recruit leads (some more recent, some kind of stale) that...

Hi all, I have never done a fundraiser, so I need some help. My daughters school had some district-wide budget cuts (Who's didn't, right?) that is affecting the 5th grade camp that she will be going to in May. Basically, all of the 5th graders in the district (4 elementary schools - about...

It's been so long I can't remember. My latest recruit just qualified (before she even got her new consultant kit in the mail!!!). The website is showing her sales at $1,700 and her $100 in Pampered Chef Dollars, but she can't find anything on there about the free PWS trial. Anyone who's...

Just curious when you start looking for holiday fairs? Most of the ones around where I live are already booked with a pampered chef consultant. There is one in a town that I did one for this summer but didn't have very good results and it's 2 hours away so I'm not sure it's worth the...

I'm sorry if someone has already suggested this. I'm at work, so don't have time to do a search. However, my team member just called to share this with me, and I wanted to tell you about it in case you want to try. She had to go one of the local middle schools today, and since she was there...

I have been a consultant for over 4 years now, and have done all of 40 shows, a lot of them my own. I want to really get my business off the ground and running now that I'm a single mom. My plan is to go gung-ho on it in September by contacting everyone I know and offering an incentive to past...
