Quick question...I've never had a show "on hold" but I know it can happen...I am having one show tomorrow (6/28), one on Sunday and closing one from this week on Monday (6/30). I'm going to encourage the hosts from the weekend shows to close right away :). My question is (okay, I know I said quick, but I had to give the background :D ), if by some horrible chance a show goes on hold and is not cleared up right away on Monday, will it still count toward SAT? My show that is for sure closing on Monday is at just over $1,300...I would hate to have something go wrong :(.

Thanks for any and all help!
 
HO will give you a deadline for resolving any issues in order for the show to count for SAT and for June Commission.
 
As long as it is HELD and SUBMITTED - it should be fine - what your time and get it in.

Thank you both! Especially for giving me the answer I was hoping for. I will definitely get them all submitted before the end of the day on Monday.

Thanks! She had one order alone from a coworker for the 5-piece Executive Cookware; and this was someone she didn't even invite, but saw the catalog on her desk! And don't think I'm not going to call that woman to see about having her own show and to see if she might have any interest in the biz...I'm still working on the host..:D
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have a show on hold?

A show on hold refers to a situation where a direct sales event, such as a Pampered Chef party, has been temporarily paused or delayed. This can happen for various reasons, such as needing more time to gather orders or waiting for additional guests to participate.

Will a show on hold count towards my Sales Achievement Tracker (SAT)?

Yes, a show on hold can still count towards your Sales Achievement Tracker (SAT) as long as it is ultimately closed within the designated time frame and meets the necessary criteria for sales volume.

How long can a show remain on hold before it needs to be closed?

A show can typically remain on hold for a limited period, often around 30 days, but it's important to check with your specific guidelines or your Pampered Chef director for any variations in policy.

What steps should I take to close a show that has been on hold?

To close a show that has been on hold, you should reach out to your guests to finalize their orders, ensure all necessary payments are collected, and then follow the Pampered Chef procedures for closing the show through your consultant portal.

Can I extend the hold period if I need more time?

In some cases, you may be able to request an extension on the hold period, but this is subject to the policies of Pampered Chef and should be discussed with your director or support team to ensure compliance.
