I recently had a show where I got about 4 bookings. Two of the bookings are a niece and aunt- the niece booked a cooking show, aunt booked a catalog show.

I just spoke with the niece today, and she said her aunt is going to wait to do her catalog show. I have a feeling the aunt will probably book her catalog show for a later date off her niece's show instead.

So... here is the question- who gets the booking benefit, the original host, or the niece?

I'm guessing if I delete the aunt's catalog show in P3 now, and then add it in again under her niece's show, the niece would get the booking benefit. I don't think my initial host really cares THAT much about the booking benefit, but I think it's kind of crappy that she will loose out, even though the show is still being held!

What would you do?:confused:
 
Hmmm...dilemma!

I would simply tell the aunt that the original host will get the benefit. See how that plays out.

Hopefully, it won't be too much drama. You can also "explain", that the aunt can have ANOTHER catalog and either the niece or SHE (the aunt) can get the past host benefit.
 
Here's another Booking Benefits Question: (sorry for the hijack)
I have a customer who booked a cooking show off of her friend's show... Knowing about the booking, the original host delayed purchasing the UM because she could get it for 60% off in July- the month her friend booked a cooking show...
The customer has decided to not just host her own show but to start her own PC business (YAAAAAAAAAAAH!) with this July booking being her Open House/Grand Opening.
How does the Past Host get her UM for 60% off? (My recruit will be submitting this under her name & Consultant Number... not me.) (I'd also rather not pay for it out of my pocket... I'm still trying to book shows for this month; the only one that was a definite was this particular show and my new recruit is taking it for her first show!)
 
The benefit is attached to the host, not the consultant. All your new recruit will need to do is put in the booked-from host's Discount Club number.
 
THANK YOU!! You're awesome Rae!!! I greatly appreciate it!
 
Aw, shucks, 'tweren't nothin'.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the booking benefits in Pampered Chef?

Booking benefits in Pampered Chef refer to the rewards and incentives that hosts receive when they book a party or event. These benefits can include discounts on products, free items, and exclusive offers based on the sales generated during the party.

How do booking benefits differ between a niece and an aunt in Pampered Chef?

The booking benefits themselves do not inherently differ between a niece and an aunt; rather, it depends on the specific party and the sales generated. Both can enjoy the same benefits if they host a party that meets the required sales thresholds.

Can a niece and aunt both receive booking benefits if they host separate parties?

Yes, both a niece and an aunt can receive booking benefits if they host separate parties. Each party will generate its own sales, and the respective host will earn benefits based on the performance of their individual event.

Are there any special considerations for booking benefits when a niece hosts for her aunt?

When a niece hosts a party for her aunt, the benefits will still be based on the sales from that specific party. However, the aunt may also want to consider how her own party could benefit from the niece's event, potentially leading to combined benefits if they coordinate their efforts.

What should I do if I want to maximize booking benefits for both a niece and an aunt?

To maximize booking benefits for both, consider scheduling their parties close together to leverage combined guest lists and sales. Encourage both hosts to promote their events and offer incentives for guests to attend both parties, which can help increase overall sales and benefits for each host.
