What is success: Definition and 194 Discussions

Hi! You may remember my thread about the show that wouldn't close, that the host had a recruit lead for me. Well, she never did give it to me, but I went on the host's FB page to thank her for hosting and sha-zam: there is the recruit lead! I only had her name--no way to get a hold of her (no...

I know I've raved about the cookie press but tonight I tried it for ricing potatoes. Wasn't really sure what to expect. It worked fabulous. I don't suggest it for large quantities as just the few servings I had didn't fit in the whole tube. But it was really easy to use and made really nice...

I worked the Natchez Food Fair this past weekend and was overwhelmed with the response. I counted 41 slips that were recruiting leads, 44 wanted to book a show, about 20 interested in fundraisers, and 15 bridal showers. I have over 50 that want email newsletters. I have over 200 that didn't...

Hello!! I am going to start carrying my catalog tote everywhere I go and would like some advise/suggestions first. Questions: 1. What do you put in it? 2. What do you say to someone notices your tote bag? 3. Has it been successful for you? 4. Do you give anything to the...

Just have to share: :D I was approached by a host who wanted to have a show, but had promised a Scentsy rep. that she would have one for her, so she asked if I'd consider a combined show. Never done anything like that before, but I said I'd try anything once. I went into it not...

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...

Wow! I'm pinching myself! I'll be closing 2 more shows today - so 4 shows closed before I leave for conference. All 4 of those shows have been over $600 in sales - so with 2 online orders, I will be submitting over $3000 in sales already for the month...I am speechless (but very happy!)...

I have done my first 6 shows and I am ready to offer more recipes and include theme shows. I'd like to know what theme shows and recipes do you have the most success with? Which ones to you get more sales, bookings and attendance? Thanks so much. I really appreciate it a lot! This group is...

I'm so Excited!!! I bit the bullet and did some CC and got one booking. I was really nervous about calling people. I asked how there products were working out for them and if they were getting my monthly new letters with recipes and host specials. I then would mention the the great July special...

KG says things much more eloquently than I do (and probably spells it correctly too!!) but today marks 2 years since then Director Paige Dixon disappeared from her family and friends lives. Please take a moment to light a candle for Paige and each of her 3 children in her memory today by...

but it was worth it. I hosted my first show last night, and it went great. I sold five DCB's so far, and i still have a few people who have not turned in their orders. I'm glad I was able to get a DCB from Vanessa on here, because my supply shipment hadnt arrived yet in time for the party. I...

I'm going to be setting up a table at a yard sale that gets tons of traffic next weekend (the 19th-20th of June) and need some ideas on how to get some leads!I was thinking of giving something away and using door prize slips for people to enter a drawing. I was going to do something like a...

What have you done to celebrate a consultant acheiving TPC/Excellence Awards? I was thinking about doing something at conference, but did not want to break the bank. My business is doing so so and I am barely able to keep up with my expenses right now. (this will be changing over the years to...

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...

Please share tips on how you meet your goals for the Sell-A-Thon. I would love to get to the highest level since this will be my first!

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...

Ok, every time that I think that I have lined up a potentially good fundraiser they end up tanking!:cry::cry:I mean, they have the members, the chairperson is behind it, but the sales are NEVER there! I'm coaching as best as I can, and when we do the kick-offs everyone seems excited. I've...

I was making the cinnamon chips from the All the Best cookbook. It suggests using the pizza cutter to cut into wedges. Mine was dirty so I dug through my drawers trying to find something to use. I noticed the pastry cutter and figured it had to work. It worked perfect! That little baby is...

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...

After over 4 years on Chef Success (almost since the beginning) I have decided to not renew this time. I have made a lot of friends and have gotten a lot of great ideas here but it's time to move on. Take care everyone and I hope to run into you at National Conference!

Does anyone know how many (generally speaking) male consultants there are and if they have the same degree of success that female consultants do? I use pampered chef all the time and love cooking so it seems like a good fit. I don't want to be boxed up in a stereotype being a male in a...

I had my surgery today, the luck of the Irish was with me!!! Had my Panniculectomy and a Breast Lift due to my massive weight loss from Gastric Bypass a year and a half ago (down 130lbs). I'm staying over night in the hospital only because my insurance covered it and the hospital is about an...
