I had a show that I am planning on submitting Monday. I am just waiting for the hosts check in the mail. I know that host and am not worried about her not paying, but wanted to wait the extra days just to make sure I get it deposited before PC took it out of my account. Here's the problem. My sales this month with her show are $2487.66 At $2500 my commission goes up a point so I was planning on adding to her show. Now I realized that since I didn't submit it before NOV 30th that it doesn't matter because this show will go on my Dec commissions. Is that right? Did I confuse it with the sell a thon? I don't want to add to it if it isn't going to help my commission percentage. All these different deadline dates gets confusing. Anyone have a suggestion on how to keep it all straight? :confused:
 
If you submit it before the 5th it will count towards the November sell-a-thon but it won't count towards you November commission. As far as keeping up w/ it maybe write the ending dates of everything down on your consultant planner?
 
Ooohh, what a shame to barely miss the $2500 mark. Having a $12.50 product added to one of your November shows would have pushed up the commission on the other $2487 already ordered. But, after doing the math, I think it only cost you $25. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly, but I wouldn't cry over that.

2 months ago, I could have bought a food chopper from a consultant on my team to get her to her $200 in sales she needed that month. By the time I realized what I needed to do, it was after 8pm, too late for her husband to allow her to have phone calls. That mistake cost me $450 by missing all of my team overrides by not having 5 active recruits that month. UGH!!

No, I noticed it, too. But, it could be that he gets up at 2am and needs his sleep or something along those lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the commission structure for Pampered Chef consultants?

Pampered Chef consultants earn a commission based on their sales volume. Typically, consultants earn between 20% to 25% on their personal sales, with potential for higher commissions as they reach certain sales milestones or recruit new team members.

When are commissions paid out to consultants?

Commissions are usually paid out on a monthly basis. After the end of the month, consultants can expect to receive their commission payments within a few weeks, depending on the specific payment schedule set by Pampered Chef.

What are the deadlines for submitting orders to qualify for commissions?

Consultants must submit customer orders by the end of the month to qualify for that month's commission. It’s important to keep track of the specific cutoff time, which is typically at the end of the last day of the month, to ensure all sales are counted.

How can I track my sales and commissions effectively?

Pampered Chef provides consultants with an online dashboard where they can track their sales, commissions, and team performance. Regularly checking this dashboard will help you stay informed about your progress and any upcoming deadlines.

What should I do if I miss a commission deadline?

If you miss a commission deadline, unfortunately, those sales will not count towards your commission for that month. However, you can still process the orders, and they will count towards your sales for the following month. It’s important to plan ahead and set reminders to avoid missing deadlines in the future.
