A few questions....

1. My hostess and I are trying to close out her show tonight. She has two ladies who want to do catalog shows this month to get the 2 items at 60% off. One lady she knows, and has given me all of her contact info and I have set up a tenative date for that show because I cannot get a hold of the girl.

The other lady is a friend of the girl wanting to do a show, and my hostess does not have her contact info. Do I have to have the contact info of that girl before I can submit the show in order for my hostess to get the booking benefit? Do I have to set an actual date in P3 when I submit the order or can I set a tenative date, and then change it once I know the hostesses needs??

2. When you set a date in P3 for a booking, does Pampered Chef give the booking benefit according to the name of the person who booked it or the date itself??

Like if Sally booked a show and she ended up not doing one and Katie wanted to do one, but told me after I submitted the hostesses show, could Katie do the show that Sally was supposed to and the hostess still get the benefit??

Just trying to figure all this out....
 
Based on names and yes you can move the date. It happens and PC understands that. Any bookings do have to be entered before submitting the show for your current host to receive the booking benefit.
 


Hi there,

Thanks for your questions. To answer your first question, it is always best to have the contact information of the person who wants to do a show before submitting the order. This way, you can ensure that the order is accurate and that the hostess will receive her booking benefit. If you are unable to get the contact information, you can still submit the order and set a tentative date. However, you will need to update the information as soon as you are able to do so.

As for your second question, the booking benefit is given based on the name of the person who booked the show, not the date itself. So in the scenario you described, if Sally booked the show but ended up not doing it, Katie can still do the show and the hostess will receive the booking benefit since it was originally booked by Sally.

I hope this helps clarify things for you. Let me know if you have any further questions. Best of luck with your hostess show!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does it mean to "close out" a Pampered Chef party?

Closing out a Pampered Chef party means finalizing all orders and collecting payments from guests. This process ensures that the hostess receives her rewards based on the total sales and that all products are ordered and shipped to the guests.

2. How can my hostess maximize her rewards when closing out her party?

Your hostess can maximize her rewards by encouraging guests to place their orders before the party closes. She can also consider offering incentives, like a small prize for the guest who places the largest order, to encourage higher sales. Additionally, she should remind guests of any special promotions or discounts available during the party.

3. What should we do if a guest wants to add items after the party has closed?

If a guest wants to add items after the party has closed, you can advise them to contact you directly. Depending on the timing, you may be able to reopen the party for a short period to accommodate additional orders. However, it's important to communicate any deadlines to ensure the hostess receives her rewards in a timely manner.

4. How long does it take for the orders to be processed after closing the party?

Typically, once the party is closed, orders are processed within a few business days. After processing, it may take an additional 7-10 business days for the products to be shipped to the guests, depending on the shipping method chosen and the location of the recipients.

5. Can my hostess still earn rewards if some guests decide not to place an order?

Yes, your hostess can still earn rewards even if some guests decide not to place an order. The rewards are based on the total sales from the orders that are placed. However, the more orders that are collected, the higher the rewards will be, so it's beneficial for the hostess to encourage as many guests as possible to participate.
