So last night, my husband and I are putting together folders for my upcoming show. I always have a bunch made up. So, we're removing the old paperwork and puttng in the new. I look in one folder and find a door prize slip that had been filled out by someone who attended a show who was "maybe" interested in becoming a consultant.:eek:A blessing from God, right? Here's the catch: she didn't make a purchase (that I can find on Pampered Partner) and she didn't fill out the date or host name. It must have been from Fall/Winter because that's the catalog that was in there. S, of course I want to call her, but what do I say when my usual intro is, "Hi I met you at so and so's show"?

Honesty is the best policy!Call her and say "I was cleaning my desk/briefcase and found a slip with your name on it! I'm so sorry that I didn't contact you sooner!" then ask her what show she was at. Believe me, I have found slips...even ones that were dated...YEARS later...and I still called those people! I once called a lady and said "Hi, it's Angela with the Pampered Chef. I have a note her to call you in the Spring...of course that was the spring of 2002...ooops!" They either go for it or they don't, but if you don't make ANY call...they don't get to choose whether to go for it or not!

I like that idea. I'm going to call her tomorrow. It weird that I can't find her name on anything though. I guess she didn't buy anything.
 
I would just be honest with her too. show you are embarrased but still be excited about talking to her.
she will probably be just as excited that you finally called! :D

I did a small F/R for a pre-school group and had two survey slips from girls who hadn't purchased anything. They were friends. One had a show last month, and the other booked from her show and is looking at the business opportunity when she has her show next month. I can't believe that sometimes I don't use the survey slips, and I would have just missed these two ladies totally!

Well, I always have the guests pass up the slip for a drawing, and I usually take a quick look for recruits and bookings. But this one was just left in the folder. So, I didn't get the chance to call her yesterday, but I will today. Thank for all of your great advice!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Door Prize Slip?

A Door Prize Slip is a form that participants fill out during a Pampered Chef party or event to enter a drawing for a prize. It typically includes their contact information and may also ask for preferences regarding products or future events.

Why did a Door Prize Slip appear unexpectedly at my event?

There could be several reasons for a Door Prize Slip appearing unexpectedly. It might have been left behind by a previous guest, accidentally included in your materials, or even a part of a promotional giveaway that was not communicated clearly.

How should I handle an unexpected Door Prize Slip?

If you find an unexpected Door Prize Slip, check to see if it has any identifying information. If it does, you can reach out to the individual to clarify their participation. If it’s anonymous, consider including it in the drawing as a bonus entry, but be transparent with your guests about it.

Can I create my own Door Prize Slip for my Pampered Chef event?

Yes, you can create your own Door Prize Slip tailored to your event. Make sure to include fields for essential information like name, contact details, and any specific preferences. This can help you gather valuable information for future follow-ups and events.

What should I do if I lose a Door Prize Slip?

If you lose a Door Prize Slip, try to recall the details of the entry, such as the name or contact information of the participant. If you cannot recover it, you may need to proceed with the drawing without that entry. It's a good practice to keep a backup of entries to avoid this situation in the future.
