Are you ready to host a pampered chef party and earn free products?

[Oklabell]

I am justing patting myself on the back here. First I have issues for asking people for things and I am going to get over it with PC. I hate calling people(even to make Dr. appt.) and this has always been an issue with me. I want to thank everyone for their advice and share my first shows I have scheduled.

1. I emailed my closest friend at church to let them know of my new PC business. I get there and a friend orders $150 dollars from me in 5 minutes. She is a SAHM and does not feel comfortable having a party but tells me her DIL may host one. She does!!!!!!!and has a $150 order from her MIL.

2. My new SIL is having one with 15 guest and I only know 3 of them.

3.A lady from church (who loves PC) is having one. She has invited a lot of the older ladies of the church which is outside my sunday school class.

4. My Daughter teacher is having one at school during the teachers lunch. I will pre-make the recipes and have a little demo area where they can "try it for themselves" I have asked my MIL for all of her PC products to help build up my display.

5. A good friend is also having one with most of the guest I don't know.

My first show is April the 19th. I have been cooking everyday with recipes (you should have seen my 1st chicken ring)

I feel so lucky to have good upcoming shows with people outside my personal friends. I live in a big county with only me and my recuiter(which I had to email to find) selling PC.

You guys on this board gave the courage to just ask. I want to thank you for all the advice, flyers and comments to give.

[thecougchef]

yay! congratulations!!
thats an AWESOME start to your business!

it sounds like if you make sure you arent too afraid to ask - you will get tons of bookings at these parties too! my director told me its okay to pull out the sympathy card ---- "im new & ive exhausted my friends & family"

HI Oklabel,

Way to get off to a great start!! You can conquer Phone Phobia! The hardest part of it is just getting started. Make a list of names and start calling. Take any tele classes offered by PC on host coaching and phone phobia or customer care and you will be off and running. I too absolutely hated the phone and it is still not my favorite thing, but you can learn to get good at it and get great results!
This is good advice too for Chefsarah19. Take all of the online training courses offered on the PC website and then take lots of teleclasses. Lynn Conway of getafreshperspective.com (I think that is her website) has a great CD on overcoming phone phobia, and there are other Direct selling pros who have CD's on starting your biz, be sure to ask your Director too!
