PC has things for all chefs - even the microwave chefs! Then I talk about the microcookers, and the deep covered baker - my favorite no nonsense microwave crock pot, our many salad and entertaining options... etcIf they "don't cook" do they bake, eat out, how do they eat and go from there and PC will have something for them.

"But you eat, right?" That's always my response. If they don't cook, they serve food - sometimes they are big entertainers who just have all of their food catered - so what! Then they can buy a bunch of SA products! I keep digging and asking questions until I can find some common ground and find something in our catalog for them. There is definitely something for everyone! And, if they don't want anything for themselves, they can always buy gifts!

They need an ice cream dipper don't they?
A round stone and pizza cutter for Frozen pizza.
Small Bar pan for heating up chicken nuggets and fries.
Microcookers for frozen/canned veggies.
SA sets for serving chips/dips.
QSP for making lemonade/kool-aid
Grill basket for the grill (some people who don't cook, use their grill a lot).

I always ask that and I always have my "if you have kids, then you need these products....."

talk about alternative uses for our products
using the quick stir pitcher to wash your unmentionables and the salad spinner to "dry" them, less wrinkles
Those non-cookers usually mean 1 of 2 things they cook exclusively out of a box - you know those instant dinners or frozen dinners, so they still need a knife to poke a hole into the top of the frozen dinners or they could become a healthy microwave cooker and use the DCB for 30 min chick, etc. the other thing is they exclusively order take out, well they might need some plates to eat on and so our simple additions would work for them, and they still need a large round stone to re-heat their pizza the next day. The stone heats up their takeout pizza or even keeps it warm without needing the box.
I run into this all the time at business mixers - people who haven't heard of PC assume that ALL consultants are professional chefs who make elaborate 5 course meals - people over think what service you are offering them...
The other day I was at a tanning salon and I was offering cran fizz drink to passerbyers most of the people thought because it was a cran fizz drink - I MUST be selling Mona-vie or Noni jucie - or something along those lines and they weren't thirsty, so I asked if they wanted to take a recipe home with them instead and one person said, "I didn't know Mona-vie had food?" I look at them confused and I said, "I'm a Pampered Chef consultant - where's the Mona-vie consultant?" At the end of the day I had over $100 in sales so sometimes it just takes a moment to break the ice and just bounce back...

everybody needs cookware & a can opener! Plus they need serving tools (like the chef tools), dinnerware (SA). Lots of options. A Quick-Stir for their frozen oj, or iced tea.
Find out why they don't cook. Our recipes are quick, simple & more economical than eating out or using convenience foods. (Healthier, too)
With the right tools & a little know-how, anyone can cook & you are just the person to show them how! Our tools make cooking faster, easier and more fun. Our recipes are very simple and offer great results!

My parents are older and didn't think they would NEED anything because it is just the two of them. This is what they now love:
Citrus Peeler
Kitchen Shears
Smooth-Edge Can Opener
Hot Pad/Trivet
Measure-All Cup
Coating Trays & Tool
Cutting Board with Measure Cups
My mom still cooks but these products make their lives a whole lot easier in the kitchen!
