What is story: Definition and 166 Discussions

I had an odd experience today but as more as I thought about it, I was like wow, I guess I was the right person for that and hope I was an encouragement/inspiration for this lady:angel:. I had a lady from a booth asking about signing to be a PC consultant but the catch was, I wasn't there at...

At training on Monday we did a new 'story' for our shows. Completely scaling it back from what I used to do. I simply answered 3 questions with a one or two sentence each: Why did I sign up? Why have I kept up with it? What do I look to get out of it in the future? So, my story got cut...

So I got this message from a lady on my home answering machine. She didn't leave me her name and she didn't address me by name... just asked if this was a PC consultant as she needed to reorder some spices. So I call her back - she is in North Dakota... I introduce myself and we have a quick...

OH MY I am so peeved....I have been up late tonight preparing for a booth tomorrow. This booth was originally supposed to be from 12-8pm tomorrow (Friday) for a charity event. I sent my $$. Beginning of this week, I emailed the coordinator to confirm, etc. She emails me back that "Oh, by...

Last night I was having trouble getting Joy's newsletter to send to me. I posted on CS and she sent RIGHT away and helped me get it. I woke up this am with the new one and immediately added my info and sent out. Within 10 minutes of sending, I had one of my past consultants email me asking...

I'm fairly new to this site, but am already amazed by everyone's genuine caring for each other. I am in need of some prayers, please. Here's my story: I have worked as an HR manager for a company for 2 years, 1 year full time. I was told that after working 6 months full time I would earn a...

Just wanted to share....one was a Home Office Lead (I was a HO lead, too!), just wanted to know how to sign up and has her first shows ready to go.The other is a past host that has been on the fence for quite a while. Moral of the story -- some will be easy, some will take time, but all are...

Not sure if the micro fiber towels are still a current selling item (I'm inactive) - but found a great use for them this week. DH and I took up golf and had been using damp paper towels to clean out the little grooves, removed grass, etc. on the golf clubs. This morning tried using a very damp...

So last night, I went to my first cluster meeting. It was so neat getting to see someone with 12 years experience and talk with her about her business. She had so many great tools, including the Lemon and Rosemary soap. I knew that it would be a good seller at my parties if I got some, but I...

I was starting to get discouraged about my lack of bookings but things are turning around!! I have been pampering businesses every Friday for the past month trying to drum up leads. Well, it finally looks like it's paying off. I had a doc office call me yesterday about needing more catalogs...

I am feeling so honored and blessed tonight. I know that sometimes we complain about cranky/difficult hosts, but I had the best experience with a host this evening. This lady called me earlier today to book a show for June 16th. She lives close by, so I told her I'd just drop off her host...

Let me just tell you....I was having the hardest time booking shows AT my Cooking Shows. I'll set the stage... Last show- 7 guests, NO bookings Show before that- 20 guests, 1 booking The list goes on but I won't bore you...you get the picture. Well, I did two things-- 1) Watched some...

Well, I'm about to go inactive. This new policy... I didn't have a show in April... I had one scheduled but it was postponed and I already hit everyone I know up for sales to stay active in February (turns out I didn't need to, my other show came through), but regardless... I have no sales...

I just have to share. I had a small show last night and was a bit down but we did have fun... she had invited her mother and her mom's friends... 6 of them were over 80 so you know... they don't cook much! We all had a ball and I tried to keep a good attitude and hope that more will come later...

I wasn't sure which category to put this in so I apologize if I'm off! I'm am so excited about this business I can't contain myself! I signed up in March and right away ordered the catalog tote. While at my ob/gyn last week one of the receptionists stopped me and asked if I had a...

Unfortunately I'm not. It doesn't matter. After 7 years I inadvertantly went inactive 3-31. I had sales in January and February not a whole lot as I've been dealing with a lot of family stuff, but enought to stay active. I completely didn't realize that I was cutting it close. I've had so...

Just wanted to pass this onto all of you: I had a new recruit sign on April 1 for the mini kit. She just received it....2 days....not bad at all! Anyway, just received an e-mail from her. No binder was included just the Business Guide and no booking calendar. Since the information we...

This was posted on here last year and was a great experience for both myself and my kids... Why not try this recipe and create a meaningful way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with your children/grandchildren?! These cookies are made the evening before and cooked in a warm oven...

I got this story from my SD (Who got it from HER director, Chris Manion- so some of you may have seen this already) (*kleenex-alert*) -------------------- ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD! As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told...

I've been struggling with my age and recruiting for a while. I can recruit young people, who are around my age into their early 30s. I do have 2 'older' ladies on my team. I'm constantly told by people that they're "too old" to do this business. And I was just told by a recruit lead that she...

Hey everyone.... Not sure where to put this but here goes... Yesterday I got a call from a Bride who has registered with me and she is sending out invites. 300 of them....She asked if I had more of the little cards that they get to put in invites telling all they are registered with the PC...

Ok i never really complain about HO or shipping but Im so frustrated I placed my supply order on the 3rd I also placed my sample order, and a personal order the same day which all have been shipped to me. Well today my supply order was delivered i open the box and im missing half my order so i...

So, I have this problem. I don't push show bookings enough. I've been afraid of rejection. I don't do a lot of shows, and this is probably the reason. So last night, I had a show. There were 10 people there, including the host. I had planned to push booking and had a game set up as well as my...

I started with Pampered Chef last June. I submitted 3 shows but did not qualify. Does anyone know what I need to do now to qualify? I have called and emailed the solution center to no avail... Thanks everyone!

The 'Middle Wife' by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few...

When I was telling my DH this story, it took him a minute to understand. Just wanted to see if you all understood why I told this host no. I had a host ask me is she could close her catty show on Feb. 30 & I told her no!

Okay, this really isn't working I've have called EVERYONE. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I know I'm excited when I talk to people. I started January 2nd and started calling everyone who was a host, guest, outside order. NO ONE wants to book. I did recruit someone last month but this month...

I'm going to toot my own horn here since you guys will get it.......but I just signed my 3rd Consultant in as many days!! Literally, one a day for the past 3 days!!! For those not sure what/how to ask, just ask them!! And keep asking them. :D
