New name for the Lock BoxI think we need a new name for this great new catagory. I jsut don't like Lock Box. What do you all think of "Behind The Apron or 'Under the Chef's Hat"? Or anyone else have any other ideas???

I am new to this site and I am also trying to get my PC business up and running again. Any ideas on how to secure some bookings to kick off my first show in almost a year? Thanks

I joined PC on September 12th and received my kit by the 15th. Although I had made contact with several potential hosts (all family and friends), I called to get their dates in stone so that I could send their packets and get the ball rolling. Well most have changed their dates so I probably...

My SIL is suppose to have a show on Monday....I talked to her 3 weeks ago when she scheduled her show and I sent a packet to her...I haven't talked to her since. She was gone for a week on a business trip and I have tried to call her several times but no answer. I hate to call her at work but...

Ok, do you have to be qualified in order to get the website up and running? I had 2 catalog shows from out of town friends who were going to help me in my first 30 days..but it was really based on them thinking they'd have access to my website...which i too had thought I could have before...

The family I have been talking about on here...they were told by the fire marshall or whoever that it was most likely started by the self starting coffee maker. you know the ones that you can set a time to make coffee. He said that almost all of the house fires he has seen has been started by...

I don't know exactly how to word this, but here goes. I have been with Pampered Chef for about 3 months now. I was one of those "HO leads" to a local director, whom I had never met. I was just e-mailed her info. I waited about 10 days before she got in touch with me and we talked about...

My doc wants me to start doing tai chi. They don't offer any classes locally so I am down to getting a dvd. Have any of you tried any? I would be a real beginner who is out of shape and doesn't want to listen to the new age mumbo jumbo that some of these practice. Any suggestions?

There was a post on here not to long ago to get your recruits a subscription to this site. I had my first true recruit meeting tonight and she is joining on the first...(that is when she will have the money). Is there anything I can say to get her to join ASAP...doesnt it take a long time for...

Hello Everyone!!! I started Pampered Chef right before I got out of the Army and right before I moved. I did 3 shows for family before I moved. I had my first show this past saturday in my new location. I sent out 21 catalogs to friends and family out of state and got 10 outside orders. I had...

I Have Yet To Get Started Doing Any Bridal Registries!!! I Know, Terrible Right? Well The Problem Is I Dont Really Know How To Get Started ... (ie) Advertizing, Etc.

I really started today! I sold a few this weekend, but today at school I have sold almost 20!! I have 3 other people helping pre-sell them too!

I am in the process of gathering things to email to my bride who has a shower booked from last night's show. I am going to send her the Well Stocked Kitchen List and the Wish List. Does anyone have a good letter explaining what SHE does to her?

:( My first recruit has gone past her thirty days and hasn't done anything yet - in all fairness she had found out about a serious family illness the weekend she got her kit, but then later told me it wasn't as bad as they had thought and she just needed to focus. Today she said she...

Was there a tri-fold or something when the Celebrations Theme Shows were introduced? I've not been in business long enough to know. I have some invites and I was hoping to get the skinny on how to do and promote the shows. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA!!

I recieved my change-over paperwork today and I got a business binder that is white and has 4 spots in the back for CD's. Just wondering how to use this and excatly what to put in it??:)

Well, I finally got signed up last night. I have been using Pampered Chef stuff for at least 10 years -- always went to the party and told everyone else how great it was. I hadn't been to a party in quite a long time until the end of November and when I did it just hit me that I should be...

Our church has a women's group that wants to start up doing events once a month. Well, we need some start up funds, and so we thought of possibly having a PC Fundraiser. How would I do this?

My name is Amy and I am in Cincinnati. I just signed my contract yesterday and can't wait for my kit to arrive. I don't know why I didn't sign up sooner. Maybe having two kids within 17 months had me distracted! I had a cooking show almost 6 years ago and thought about becoming a consultant...

Well, I just signed up for my website last night. What are your recommendations for getting some activity on there?
