Asked to Speak on Behalf of Pampered Chef...

Hello All

I have been asked to speak to a group of older Girl Scouts about having my own business, I have an idea of what I would like to say but I always like to hear from fellow PC Consultants!:chef:

What a great opportunity! IMO, direct sales helps develop skills in:
- Sales, in terms of presenting features and benefits, listening/overcoming objections, and asking for what you want, which is really really really important for women
- Public speaking/presenting, which applies to many jobs and areas of life
- Relationship-building, with peers, customers, etc
- Time management
- Budgeting

Direct sales is different from most other jobs:
- You determine your $ goals and corresponding investment of time and effort
- When you win, no one loses.
- It's a win-win for all parties involved - the host, the customers, you, and the company
- Since there are no losers, peers are much more likely to share helpful information

Hope that helps and enjoy the opportunity!

You could bring in the fact that character is especially important in DS. The products are good, but you're really marketing yourself.
