Anyone Familiar With Purely Gourmet?

[dannyzmom]

I have a customer who is a rep for Purely Gourmet...she is interested in doing a co-party someday and thus her customer base would be introduced to PC and mine to PG...anyone know anything about them or their products? She says she uses a lot of PC stuff at her "Tasting Parties" to show her PG stuff...hmmmmm

When I told her about the PC show averages she was floored - I guess she doesn't make nearly that with PG...

Hmm, I have never heard of them, but I'm guessing they are similar to Homeade Gourmet or Tastefully Simple? I've had a few joint shows with TS and they've gone really well. You have to work with her so you can both tailor your demos to complement each other.

For example, at my joint shows, I've made Bananas Foster Stir Fry, which I serve over TS's Absolutely Almond Pound Cake that I've baked ahead of time in the Fluted Pan. So I'm showing Cookware and Stoneware and my demo is short. Then while they're eating that, the TS rep can pass around her things to taste and do her thing.

Too bad my TS partner went inactive.

[dannyzmom]

It seems they are based in NJ...I wonder ho wmany consultants they have?

 

[SillyChef]

Maybe I should comtact the consultant they gave me and see if she can direct me to someone closer? Or is that rude?!

I'm just curious...was the consultant you guys got named Judy Otterbein with phone number 908-874-4123??

I just tried putting in a California address and a NJ address and I just got the same woman's info. Seems a little weird.

I live in Indiana and I got the same woman, Judy Otterbein. Hmm... weird! Maybe she is the only one with a website or something??

 

[Karen Hodge]

I live in Ohio and I got the same woman!!

 

[dannyzmom]

yet that is not the name of the gal I am dealing with...odd

 

[SillyChef]

Judy was my girl too! Hmm.

 

[mbh06]

I wonder if she knows when we've been to the sight to look someone up... she'll be really surprised if she finds out all these people are suddenly interested!! Especially when she sees where everyone is from...

Alright...someone call her and ask what is going on!!

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

HA! Me too, and I am in Central Oregon!! What the heck?

 

[mom2leelee]

Me too and I'm in KY! That is unfair to other consultants to say the least!

 

[cmdtrgd]

I'm wondering if they have a Director's leads policy like PC and only have one director?

 

[SillyChef]

Who is up for calling Judy? I will do it if anyone doesn't want to.
