I just realized that I REALLY need to change my Team. There is NOTHING that I can offer them that is going to motivate them to grow/start/maintain their current business. Here's how I know: I had a past guest email me if I would be interested in doing a multiple DS show at her home. She...

My director suggested at a recent meeting to hold a monthly cooking class. People would pay to reserve a spot, and then use this money towards their purchase. I created a survey within my last newsletter asking who would be interested, what types of classes, what day of the week worked...

What's your take on this? I think it's a great opportunity for those who want to start but have limited funds --- but I can see me doing more training for people whose whole hearts may not be in the business....

So can anyone tell me the logic in not having the new materials (agreements, come join us, YLYW, etc.) available to order until April 1 if the program starts April 1? It would seem they should be in our hands BEFORE the 1st. And the new consultant kits will have old info on until "after March...

I didn't see a NC subforum yet so I'm starting my thread here!! Tiffany called me to let me know that Airtran has tickets from Orlando to midway for $179.20 including taxes!!! :D I called DH and told him and he said, uh okay, so I told him to hear me out. I have PC $$'s to pay for...

Are you a part of one? do you find it helpful?I am a member of an "unofficial" one--we are all in DS and it was organized by a woman who is with Jockey Person to Person. The problem is, I can't make it to any meetings--they meet on the same night we will be having team meetings. Not to...

I am a relatively new consultant and have been having trouble getting my cooking shows to start on time. My shows always tend to start about 30 minutes late because my host is wanting to wait for such and such to arrive. If I only have one show scheduled for that day, I don't worry too much...

Okay, I am not the best at coming up with titles for things. I want to start a blog but not sure what to call it. It will be about food (recipes, menu planning, budgeting), parenting (just everyday stuff that I find interesting to post about), growing spiritually (trying to be better about...

I really wanted to start the New Year off right. I worked half a day today at my regular job and came home to get ready for my customer care calls. I did okay, nothing yet though. I left 2 messages, spoke to 5 people, 1 wants to order more products just can't do it now, so I explained the hosts...

HELP! When I try to run it says error, see log file?? What the?

Hello, Any of you creative folks make one up yet? I have parties 5 days straight starting Thursday and would love to have one. Thanks so much :)

I have a recruit signing soon and she wants to send a flyer to her family, friends and coworkers saying she is starting her business and would you like to help by hosting a show. I'm insanely busy last week and this and can't take time to dig on here right now. Would anyone be willing to...

Hi everyone. First time posting my own thread. New consultant (40 days). I qualified in the first month through 4 catalog shows. Thanks to my dear friends. Now I am nervous, Let me tell you why. My first cooking show is September 28th. The host is a long time friend that moved out of...

Are you guys sick of me yet? I had a wave of cancellations yesterday and today. My show schedule is pathetic. I have no hot booking leads - just some maybes to follow up on and some cold leads i got through a trade show back in February. I'm not motivated to do anything! I went to bed at...

I think I may have posted a while back that my husband was just finishing alternative teacher certification and was looking for a job. He has been working at Target (which I now HATE) and subbing to make ends meet. Well, they haven't been meeting for about 6 months now and we've been struggling...

OMG I did it! :sing: I rented a cart at the Farmer's Market starting September 5 which is a Friday. They are opened Monday thru Saturday bur I don't need to be there all week. Just Friday and Saturday. Any advice is appreciated.:D

...hummmm, title doesn't sound very good, but I'm sure I got your attention!! :blushing: ;) If you were in a waiting room somewhere, would you strike up a conversation with someone and try to bring up PC? Even when having a casual conversation with a stranger somewhere, I just can't seem to...

I'm new here and I have called ALL of my friends, family, and Passion Parties clients with no one hosting a party! I don't know what to do or even how to get this going now! Oh and are we allowed to buy a domain name, mask, and forward it to our actual PC site? I bought...

Hi all! This is a great forum with so much information! I just hosted a show on Sunday and am signing up to become a consultant as soon as it closes. I have been thinking about this for the past few weeks and am very excited! So my question to all of you is...what products do you...

i have question. i am sending info on starting the business to my cousins up north of here by Park Rapids and was woundering if there are any directors up there if they do sign?

Maybe this is in the wrong forum, I am not sure... Yesterday I had my first show since moving...and the host invited 50 people, called, etc. I called the people whose numbers she gave me. Only her mother showed up! I am very discouraged. She is going to pass the catalog around and I am...

Has anyone ever organized some sort of fair themselves... a craft fair or a vendor fair? I was thinking of doing this but not sure how to go about it.. any info would be great!

I think this is the most number of threads I have started in a 10 minute period. I need to get off my big butt and get cleaning, organizing and PACKING!!! I hate getting ready for a trip because I keep doing other things and then I'm up half the night (or more) doing what I should have been...

:eek: Hi all-:cry: So after starting a thread (North Carolinans I need your help) to get info from any fellow cheffers that live in North Carolina to help my DH and I as we look into relocating from MN to NC within 12 months, I started searching for homes in the cities we think would work...

Not sure where to post this but now that we are starting a new year and it is time to make goals and reflect over the past year~ What are your goals, what would you like to do better or improve on in 2008! What are you going to do to achieve it. I want to consistantly hold 6 shows a month...

A New Year---a clean slate. Lord, thank you that I can start fresh to record the events of my future with Your help. May all I do be pleasing to You. Amen. I hope everybody here on Chef Success has a Great and Successful New Year and remember to set goals and work every day towards them...

I would like to start a monthly newsletter. Question though. Should I send to all people that I have email addresses or should I start fresh and ask these people if they are interested in getting my newsletter? Thanks for the advice!:)

I have decided, that 2008 is a make-it or break it year for me, but I need some help. I have been a consultant for 2 1/2 yrs and need to make a honest effort to have several (2-4, or more) definite shows a month. Any suggestions from anyone on how to start again? I had a holiday mystery...

Hi everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful holday season - however you may celebrate it! I was not sure where to post this and am not sure what it is I even need, just don't know who else to talk to it about - so you guys came to mind. I have been a PC consultant 2 months now and have...

Did anyone have an open house when they first started out? If so, what did you do and where? I would like to have one. I just don't think my house is the best place because it is in the country. Also, I am not for sure what all to have there and I am not really wanting to do a demostration...
