I am trying to find a guest's host number. I tried online, but it did not recognize her. What are my options? She did not know her number and did not think she had the paper that had the number on it.
I already emailed the solution center... is that all I can do?
Thanks!!
Oh and this was a great show... 5 ordered... and it was $568 commissionable!! Two outisde orders, and a host still to order! :love:
 
It will only show if she hosted within the last year.Also, make sure you entered the name right.
 
If she was your host and you're on P3, her number will be in P3 automatically.

Yeah...if her name is Susan Smith, but Sue Smith was the name used for her show, when you search for Susan it won't show up. I do NOT like this. We should be able to put in S Smith and have it pull up all the first names that begin with S...

And if it's spelled wrong at all she will not show up. I wish they would let us be close and give us similar names to choose from.

yeah.. I am thinking it might have been spelled wrong. I will see what HO says. She wants to host special too... I would not mind eating the 10%, but I don't want to eat the money from the mandolin at 60% off!!!

She cannot order the Mandoline unless she is the past host from whom the current show was booked.
 
I had this same problem on Friday. I finally got it through when I entered
the person's middle initial which I had forgotten we used for her show in Feb.
She was a co-hostess, so it did not show up on my commission statement. I wish HO included that information on our commission statements. I refer to
mine often for that information.
 
I haven't had good experience with emailing the Solution Center (takes too long to get a response.) I'd suggest trying more variations of her name on the Previous Host Lookup. If you still have no luck, calling HO may be quicker (though Mondays seem to be the busiest day). It will help them if you have the name of the consultant who did her show and/or the approximate month.
Good luck!

If it was a show you did just look her up in your program - you'll see how you spelled it. If it's someone else's you'll have to call HO about it (I agree to call vs email). If you give them the name, approximate date and city/state they'll be able to find her.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I can't find my Guest's Host #?

If you can't find your Guest's Host #, you can check your email for any confirmation messages from Pampered Chef that may contain the host information. Additionally, you can log into your Pampered Chef consultant account and navigate to the "Orders" or "Hosts" section to retrieve the Host #.

Can I ask my host for their Host # if I can't find it?

Yes, you can definitely ask your host for their Host #. They should have received it in their confirmation email or can find it in their Pampered Chef account. It's a good idea to communicate with them directly to ensure you have the correct information.

Is there a way to retrieve the Host # through the Pampered Chef app?

Yes, you can use the Pampered Chef app to retrieve the Host #. Simply log in to your consultant account within the app, navigate to the "Hosts" section, and you should be able to find the Host # associated with your events.

What if I still can't find the Host # after checking all options?

If you've checked your email, your Pampered Chef account, and consulted with your host but still can't find the Host #, you can reach out to Pampered Chef's customer service for assistance. They can help you locate the Host # based on your account information.

Are there any consequences for not having the Host # during a party?

While it's important to have the Host # for tracking orders and ensuring proper credit for the host, not having it won't prevent you from conducting the party. However, it may delay order processing or affect the host's rewards, so it's best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
