Has any CDN Consultants had 12 buying guests at their Shows so far to be entered into the monthly draw? I only had 7 at my Show last night WHICH WAS GREAT because it was blizzarding out last night. I have done tons of Host Coaching - I wonder if it is just a bad month still for ppl (being right after the Holidays?). Maybe my other January Shows will be better.

How is everyone else doing?.........
 
I have had a couple of 12's and 11's...i am closing a 1k show today so my host is still trying to figure out what she wants with all the free product!

I am doing pretty good..i cut my shows per month back as I am studying and taking the certification to be a personal trainer.... soooo I am busy...still in line with my goals tho :)

my Hosts R happy...I am finding my Hosts seem happy with a $500-$600 Show. I encourage them, but am not pushy about it. I think people are still getting over the holiday rush? (not having the energy). Maybe I need to ask her for the names of a few other people to get a few more orders for her?!......
 
Hi Jenna,

I had a show with 7 buying guests. I am hoping I will be able to have 12 buying guests at my other shows. I think also that maybe because it was just Christmas people don't want to spend too much money.

Where in Alberta are you from? I was hoping I would find a Consultant in the same Province as myself. I have been with PC for 1 year as well. I started out doing catalogue & individual orders which I did quite well. In August 2007 I did my first kitchen show and I never thought they would be so easy and fun.

Have a Pampered Day,

Julie Hinecker

update on showsI am an hour North of Edmonton. R U right in the City?

I am realizing my Hosts are doing better than I originally thought. I am only showing them the Free Product earned on a $700 and $1000 show. I had one Host phone me tonight and tell me she has $500 in OO (her show is on Sat.) and one booking. My other Host is using my PWS - and has 2 PWS orders - and has over 15 people invited. My Show that I had last Sat. only had 5 people show up, but it is over $700. :) I have been telling them, 'this is what WE want' (referring to # of guests, OO, and bookings) - I think it is helping.

p.s. Sometimes I forget that life (especially in DS) are a rollercoaster.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of having a dozen buying guests at a Pampered Chef party?

Having a dozen buying guests at a Pampered Chef party is significant because it increases the likelihood of higher sales. More guests mean more potential buyers, which can lead to larger orders and increased commissions for consultants. Additionally, a lively atmosphere with many guests can create excitement and encourage impulse purchases.

How can CDN consultants effectively attract a dozen buying guests?

CDN consultants can attract a dozen buying guests by utilizing various marketing strategies, such as leveraging social media, sending personalized invitations, and offering incentives for attendance, like exclusive discounts or giveaways. Hosting themed parties or collaborating with local influencers can also help draw in a larger crowd.

What strategies can be implemented during the party to boost sales?

During the party, consultants can boost sales by engaging guests with interactive cooking demonstrations, showcasing popular products, and offering limited-time promotions. Encouraging guests to participate in tastings and providing product bundles can also entice them to make purchases. Building rapport and addressing any questions or concerns can further enhance the buying experience.

How important is follow-up after the party for maintaining customer relationships?

Follow-up after the party is crucial for maintaining customer relationships. It allows consultants to thank guests for attending, share additional product information, and address any questions or concerns. Following up can also lead to repeat sales and referrals, as satisfied customers are more likely to recommend the consultant to friends and family.

What role does training and support play in the success of CDN consultants?

Training and support are vital for the success of CDN consultants. Access to resources, mentorship, and ongoing training helps consultants develop their sales skills, product knowledge, and marketing strategies. A strong support network fosters confidence and motivation, enabling consultants to implement effective techniques to boost their sales and achieve their goals.
