Show to Go IncentiveI am very psyched about this incentive! I was holding off on finding an alternative system for my haphazard transport method, since I had seen the prototypes at Leadership. HO has made this so do-able, so everyone should be going to shows in style this Fall! ;) Start booking your August, September and October shows!

Just a note: the 3rd tote is earned when a total of $4,000 is submitted, not $3,000 as previously posted.
 
Speaking of the Roasting Pan....LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!...Anyway...Don't forget that it is the July-August Recruiting Promo. I just received my Starter Kit on Monday...went to my first Cluster Meeting (with a Hospitality Director) on Tuesday and found out that because I started my business during this time, if- no, WHEN, I qualify by the end of my SS Month I will get the Roasting Pan and the Rack for FREE! Everytime I show the flyer to my friends, I get OOooos and AAAhhhs....great incentive to sign up now. :D
 
The Guest Specials for Sept. are 20% off of any Cookware, Oct. is Buy $50 get The Jar Opener FREE,Nov. is (Guest) Buy $50 get the new Double Strengh Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract FREE!! Host The Simply Entertaing Set For 60% off and there are like 3 other things to choose from.
 
WOW! We have it made here in Canada! For the show to go incentives. we get the tool turnabout tote at $600, the large square bag at $1200 and the big roller bag at $2400 and we have from Aug to Oct to earn it. :)
 
Hey Marg! Is it hard for you guys to get sales or bookings up there because PC is so new? I'm wondering if they make it a little lower since PC is just starting out in Canada??? :confused:
 
PC has been in Canada for 9 years now, so it's not too new. :)
I was surprised when I saw the requirements - I mean we had a logo lawn chair incentive and it was $2000 in sales for one and $4000 in sales for two and that was in 1 month!
I think that the home office here in Canada is really pushing to get more consultants ( I believe that there are only 4,000 across the country) and want to make this incentive achievable for everyone - even those just starting out.
I think it's great - I really want those bags! I think they make it much easier to get your stuff to a show and it looks much more professional. :)

Pamperedkay,

Wish she could find me a hospitality director. But she checked with Pampered Chef and the closest director to me is 2-1/2 hrs away. So...am kinda on my own here. That is why I love this site so much. :)

I agree Chefloriray. Even if my director found someone, but they were just as far, or further I don't think I could commit to going. One - with my husband being in the military and his schedule being as unpredictable as it is (he is on alert 24 hours a day for certain missions within the US for the next 6 months), I couldn't take that chance if he had to go and I was 3 hours away from getting to my 2 year old daughter. I know I am missing out and all, but I have to make do as well. My director is great about keeping me in the loop with emails and this website has been great too! Plus, my 2 recruits and I get together and share ideas. I guess you can say we have our own meetings. But when I move back to Texas, I know of a cluster that I will definitely be attending meetings with! That's the beauty of this business - you can be as flexible as your schedule and lives allow. Not many jobs can offer that luxury!
 
For those of you who are 2 hours away from your cluster meetings, could you do a conference call? We had a consultant in my group that would call in and be on speaker phone because she lived over 2 hours away. She could hear all the announcements and still participate with everyone.
 
Hi I'm new here.
I've been a consultant here in northern Ontario , Canada, since last Oct.
Are these host and consultant specials usually the same here in Canada? I just went to my cluster meeting last night and my Future Directer did not know about the Sept-Oct host and guest specials.
 
It depends - somtimes they are the same and sometimes they're different!
I know at Conference they said that Sept hosts would be able to order the roasting pan, but I don't know if it's at a discount or if they can just order it early.

My director is out of state, therefore I attend cluster meetings with a hospitality director within my hometown. She is great. It works out becuase I get emails and updates from both directors.

bags & totes incentiveDoes anyone know...once you reach $1000 & get the first item does that $1000 get wiped out & you start over or does it count toward your next item?
 
It's all cumulative. You don't start over at each level. So the last level of $4000 means once you get $4000 TOTAL in sales, you get the bag with wheels.
 
Sept. specialsI went to national conference but I had to leave because my children got sick. So I never got to hear what any of the specials are. all of the sessions are over but they still have not posted anything. If anyone knows what the sept. guest special is and you could please let me know I have a potential host teetering on Aug or Sept and she will not commet until she finds out what the special is. I would appreciate any info!!

Hi Morvin! If you are in the US, the sign-on bonus is the Roasting Rack Free if they sign between July-August 31st and qualify by September 30th. The September host special is 60%off one piece of stoneware and as a guest you get 20% off of stoneware! HTH! :)
 
Let's Get STONED in SeptemberI've created a flyer that I am delivering to some of my past guests and hostesses. (There's one show that I don't think they'll find too funny :) )

Seasoned consultants already know this, but it's important that you do not share September until you get your August booked. You don't want to loose your August sales due to people holding out. I don't plan to share this info until the 3rd week in August.

Also, I have a special paragraph in there where I am offering an additional 5% if they order before September 13th. The 5%, I will pay for. (This actually serves two purposes: one, if they offer a "submit 2 shows by the 15th" special again, I'll have a jump start. And two, I WANT those new totes they showed off at conference!!!

Anyhoo, thought I'd share!

Question about discountsHey!
I have a question about how the discount will work in September. If a host wants to buy more than one piece of stoneware, will she get the 20% off and then her host discount off that price, or just the 20% off? What about for past hosts? Will it be 20% off, then another 10% off that price?

Just checking!
 
that is how i was told it works the past host gets the already 20% off her stones she orders then at the end she gets the 10% past host dicount off the total of her order please let me know if im wrong
 
If a SEPTEMBER HOST gets the guest special it means EACH piece of stoneware they select that is on sale is 20% off AND THEN THEY USE THEIR HOST DEEP DISCOUNT to buy it – so say it’s 25% off (my average host) – that’s 20% then 25% - if it were a $10 item so you can see how this works – a $10 item would be $8 (at 20% off) then another $2 off for a host 25% off = $6 which is 40% off the $10 original price

So a host can get (an average host) unlimited stoneware at 40% off.

Hope that makes sense.
 
Thank you SO MUCH for the clarification! I wanted to make sure I was promoting it correctly!
