Do we get regular commission on these types of shows? Like my kick-off show (haven't closed it yet)
 
You get commission just like any other show except not on the host order.
 
Really? I was told to make my husband the host or I wouldn't get commission ... he was there. so technically he was the host. :)

hmmm that is what I was thinking of doing. And actually he is the host because he is collecting catalog orders for me while he is out on the road. But I want to have the items shipped to the office where he is getting the orders. Maybe the easiest thing is to have his (aka my) order go to the office as well?
 
I always make DH the host, just for that reason. It shouldn't be a problem getting it delivered to your home. Just put your name c/o on the address.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Consultant acting as a Host earn regular commission on shows?

Yes, a Consultant acting as a Host can earn regular commission on shows. When a Consultant hosts their own show, they can earn commission on the sales generated during that show, in addition to any Host benefits they receive.

How does the commission structure work for Consultants hosting their own shows?

Consultants earn a percentage of the total sales from their show, similar to how they would earn commission from any other show. This percentage can vary based on the total sales volume and the Consultant's rank within the company.

Are there any limitations on the commission a Consultant can earn when hosting?

While there are generally no limitations on the commission earned from hosting their own shows, Consultants should be aware of any specific promotions or guidelines set by Pampered Chef that may affect earnings. It's always best to check the latest policies.

Do Consultants receive Host rewards in addition to their commission?

Yes, Consultants who host their own shows are eligible to receive Host rewards, which can include discounts on products, free products based on sales levels, and additional bonuses. This is in addition to the commission they earn from the sales.

Can a Consultant earn commission if they are also a Host for another Consultant's show?

No, a Consultant cannot earn commission on sales from a show where they are acting solely as a Host for another Consultant. They can only earn commission on shows they personally host.
