Congratulations on starting your business. Once you start your show it will be fun! There of course are things you will forget to say, but guess what - they don't/won't know it! I still think of things I forgot to say when I leave a show.

Good luck!

Thanks guys! I am super excited - I just am so afraid I will forget something!
 
Good luck!!

And remember to breath!

(My Mom's advice on everything)
 
somewhere in your new paperwork there is a check off list for shows...I still use them to double check that I have everything. Good Luck! You'll do great!
 
Have a copy of what the host and guest specials are for Jan. and Feb. so you know the codes when they order something and also so you can tell them about it when you talk about why they want to book. It's nice to pass it around or at least hold it up so they can see.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I prepare for my first Pampered Chef show?

For your first Pampered Chef show, make sure to prepare a list of recipes you want to demonstrate, gather all necessary ingredients and tools, and set up your display area. Familiarize yourself with the products you’ll be showcasing and practice your presentation to ensure a smooth flow during the show.

How many guests should I invite to my first show?

It's a good idea to invite at least 10-15 guests to your first show to ensure a good turnout. This allows for a more engaging experience and increases the likelihood of sales. Don’t forget to follow up with reminders as the date approaches!

What materials do I need to bring to my show?

Bring along your Pampered Chef catalog, order forms, a pen, and any promotional materials you may have. Additionally, pack any cooking tools and ingredients you’ll need for your demonstration, as well as a tablecloth or display items to create an inviting atmosphere.

How do I handle sales and orders during the show?

During the show, you can take orders using the order forms you brought. Make sure to explain the ordering process to your guests, including payment options and shipping details. It's also helpful to have a mobile payment option available for convenience.

What if I feel nervous about presenting?

Feeling nervous is completely normal, especially for your first show. To ease your nerves, practice your presentation multiple times before the event. Focus on engaging with your guests, and remember that they are there to have fun and learn. Take deep breaths and remind yourself that you’re sharing something you love!
