My first show is tomorrow night & I'm trying to get my customer packets ready to go. I bought the 3-prong folders and have an order form, catalog, August guest special flyer, and survey form in the front pocket. Attached to the prongs, I have a Going Going Gone flyer, September Host & Guest special flyer and a Host a Cooking Show flyer in plastic page protectors. In the back pocket I have a Your Life Your Way brochure and a dessert recipe card. Oh yeah, I also have my business card attached in the slot on the front pocket. Is there anything I'm missing or maybe something I've included that I don't really need? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!
 
Sounds to me like you have a great Customer Packet!
 
Sounds liek yoru off to a great start!!!! good luck with your first show!!!
 
Don't forget pens.
 
Yeah pens might help!!!!
 
It sounds like you have everything. My only suggestion would be to take out the prize drawing slip and hand it out after your presentation. Sometimes people fill it in before the demo and don't give hosting a show (or the opportunity) a chance. I talk them through the slip, too, instead of just handing it to them. It has definitely helped w/ bookings.

Good luck tomorrow - you'll do wonderfully!

My DPDS are the last thing that I do at my shows, it has helped me with bookings, I also walked the guest through on what I need from them, and then when I get to the back side of it I always say something to the tune of Oh know the printer made a mistake it says comment and it's supposed to say complament.... LOL they laugh and get a kick out of it.:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to my first Pampered Chef show?

Make sure to bring your product samples, catalogs, order forms, and any necessary cooking tools. Don't forget to pack a pen for taking orders and a calculator for quick math. It's also helpful to have a notebook for jotting down any questions or notes during the show.

How do I prepare my presentation for the show?

Practice your presentation multiple times to ensure you are comfortable with the flow. Familiarize yourself with the products you will be showcasing and prepare a few engaging stories or tips to share. Consider creating a simple outline to keep you on track during the show.

What if I forget something important during the show?

If you forget something, stay calm and try to improvise. You can always mention that you will follow up with guests later or offer to send them additional information. It's important to maintain a positive attitude and keep the energy up, as guests will appreciate your enthusiasm.

How can I encourage guests to place orders?

Engage your guests by asking questions and encouraging them to share their cooking experiences. Highlight the benefits of the products and offer exclusive show discounts or promotions. You can also create a sense of urgency by mentioning limited-time offers or special bundles.

What should I do after the show is over?

After the show, follow up with your guests to thank them for attending and remind them about placing any outstanding orders. Send out a summary of the products showcased and any special offers. This is also a great time to ask for referrals and schedule future shows.
