Does any one here sell both?? pc and candles???

I know that i have a few friends that are looking into selling pc but already sell candles.. I have done a few shows where it is come see "all that is offered"
"all one shop stop" and i have sold pc, and they are selling candles, and others are selling their thing..

but in my experience the candles have always out won PC...

what would you tell your possible "recruits"

thanks
 
Right now with the economy the way it is, PC is the way to go. Candles are not a neccessity but eating is. People are eating out less and cooking at home more. That's where we come in. We get to show them how to stretch their dollar while making yummy easy recipes.

I have done a lot of combo shows with my PL lady (in fact, we have one this Friday). It goes both ways on sales. So far the host this time around has way more outside orders for PC than PL.
 
Your recruits could not promote both PC and candles at a party ... it's a conflict of interest. PLUS, if they want to promote to director they cannot be involved with another DS company.

thanks for the input :)
 
for any inputHi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I have also come across the situation where potential recruits already sell candles. My advice would be to focus on the unique benefits and features of Pampered Chef products that set us apart from other direct sales companies. Our high-quality kitchen tools and accessories are not only practical and versatile, but they also come with a lifetime guarantee. Plus, our recipes and cooking techniques are a great way to bring people together and make memories in the kitchen. While candles may be popular, Pampered Chef offers a unique and valuable opportunity for those interested in cooking, entertaining, and building a business. I would also suggest showcasing the variety of products and the potential for earning through both party sales and online orders. I hope this helps and best of luck with your recruiting efforts!
