Considering a Career with Pampered Chef?

[JerryD]

Hello everyone...I am not a consultant yet, but I am thinking about it. I stumbled on this community while googling to find out info about PC. This site has really been a wealth of information.

I work full time at a bank in customer service (so I am used to dealing with people), and I love to cook plus I love Pampered Chef. It seems like this would be a fun way to make some extra money. I have already been talking with a local consultant to get information about the business.

I know alot of people in town so I think that I could find some people who would host a cooking show...and I definately could get some to at least host catalog shows.

From reading on here, I have seen posts about a PC debit or credit card. I am kinda confused by that. Are there any threads that can explain that a little more.

Hey Jerry!!! Welcome to the site. Where in IN are you? I'm in Geneva, a western suburb of Chicago. Sounds like this would be right up your alley!!!! If you have a bunch of questions, just post them here and you'll have helpful people answer them. It's an AWESOME place here. I stumbled on it JUST like you three years ago and I love it. You just have to be careful it doesn't suck up all your time! Feel free to PM me with any questions and I"m happy to help!!

Welcome!

Oh and to answer your question about debit or credit card. Basically you have to have one because this is how you "pay" for your show orders. I personally have the debit card. It's not a normal debit card that you can use other places, but it allows PC to debit the money from your account from guest orders that used cash or checks. Does that make sense? Some people do the cc, but I don't need another bill to worry about paying.
The debit card does it all automatically about 4-5 business days after a show is submitted. Hope that helps!!!

Well, I have finally decided to take the plunge and sign up. I have alot going on right now (I am getting married in October) so the consultant I have been working with suggested that I sign up once the wedding is over. I am going to start working on getting some bookings lined up. I am very excited at the prospect of being in business for myself. I can't wait to see what kind of great things come from this.

I can't tell you what a great resource this community has been...reading so many wonderful posts helped me to see what a great opportunity there is with PC.

The nearest big town is Bloomington...probably about a 20 minute drive from my house. I live out in the sticks...nothing but farm land and corn.
