. We have a fantastic host program and if we are inclined to offer our hosts and extra $15.00 in FREE product, I suggest we add it to our hosts order and PAY for it ourselves!!
PCGINA said:I agree with Beth 100%.... PC "pays" the host for having us in their homes and providing the FOOD..... I have been at friends homes and they want to purchase - let's say $150.00 in product - I have her call up the neighbor and have her hubby present and I demo something!! Most people have some type of food in their frig or pantry that I can work with. Lemon, cucumber, carrots and potatoes work fine. Packaged bisquits work great!!
I do not think it is fair for our fantastic company to give something to somone that did not earn it
They encourage us to have host have an in home show - why? We sell more product, get more bookings, have personal contact with guests and have a opportunity to share the business in a personal manner.
Some people just prefer to do a catalog show and that is fine; however, it is just not right to turn it in as a cooking show if you did not COOK for anyone. To me that is stealing from the company
Yes -- "YOU" -- can mark it as a cooking show, but it is just not right in my humble opinion. AND if that host were to sign with the company, she would find out that what we did was wrong as well. Not a great start as a recruiter.
OK -- OK -- I'll stop. Work hard on those catalog shows

I would offer the host of current catalog shows her show discount at any show booked off of hers or some other gift/incentive (that will encourage her to partner with you to get more bookings).abrahamlaur said:
A Catalog Show for Deployment Incentive is a type of sales event where consultants showcase Pampered Chef products through a catalog rather than a traditional in-home party. This allows customers to browse and order products at their convenience, while consultants can earn incentives based on the sales generated during the show.
To enter a Catalog Show for Deployment Incentive, you need to create a show in your Pampered Chef consultant portal. Select the "Catalog Show" option, fill in the necessary details, and invite your customers to browse the catalog and place their orders. Make sure to track the sales to qualify for the incentive.
Hosting a Catalog Show offers several benefits, including flexibility for both the consultant and customers, the ability to reach a wider audience, and the opportunity to earn incentives based on sales. It also allows customers to shop at their own pace without the pressure of a live event.
Yes, there are specific requirements for the Deployment Incentive, which may include a minimum sales threshold or a certain number of orders. It’s important to review the current incentive guidelines provided by Pampered Chef to ensure you meet all criteria for eligibility.
Yes, you can combine a Catalog Show with other types of shows, such as in-home parties or virtual events. This can help maximize your sales and reach more customers, allowing you to take full advantage of the Deployment Incentive opportunities available.
