Help!! I just a July host that is very, very motivated. She wants to do at the very minimum a $1000 show, but is hoping for $1400. The reason?? She was at a show recently where the host did a $1400 show and got the entire 12 pieces of Executive cookware for FREE.

Plus, when she put in her wish list on my PC website, it told her that in order to get the cookware for free, she needed to do a $1400 show.

I didn't think this was possible... is it???

Please help! I don't want to lose this show if at all possible.
 
She might be able to get the 5 piece or the 7piece for free but not the 12 piece

That's what I thought! But, when you put in the 12 piece set on the wishlist, it says that you have to do a $1400 show in order to get it FREE!!
 
She'd need an almost $2400 show to get all 12 pieces free.
 
If she's that motivated for a show - RECRUIT her! And then she can earn that plus all the new items for free too!

HA!! I am in the process of recruiting her... I told her that if she wanted to sign up at her party, she could use $$ toward her kit, and that I would give her the bookings from her show. Fingers crossed!!
 
PLUS when she signs and does two shows in July, she can get the NEWEST piece of cookware too!!! Work that angle! :D
 
Definitely recruit her!!!

How do you put something on "the wishlist"??:confused:
 
Add it to an order and enter a 0 for quantity.
 
That's a function available to hosts through your PWS. When you set up a show online, you'll get a host password that you can give to your host. They can log on and create a wishlist with things they want. What's nice about that it that it computes the sales they need to get it free (although as noted above, there's sometimes a glitch), and you can print the list to see what they want. You can then use it as a coaching tool: To get your whole list for free, you'll need a $1000 show. So let's work on getting at least 15 people there and 10 outside orders.

:)

Yes, in this case, it is a glitch. I was on the phone with tech support for about 45 minutes regarding this issue. I'm supposed to receive an email for follow-up, and I'm going to call again as well.

I'm pretty sure this gal is gonna sign up to sell, though. Any ideas on how to word it to her?? I was thinking of suggesting that she use some of her free product value for her kit, and save the PC dollars she earns to buy the entire cookware set for free. (She could purchase it at 40% off during kit enhancement, right?) She'll be my first recruit, so I'm not really good at this just yet!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a host to be motivated for a $1400 show?

A motivated host is someone who is enthusiastic about organizing a show and is actively engaged in promoting it to friends and family. They are likely to reach out to potential guests, share the event on social media, and encourage attendance, all of which can contribute to achieving a $1400 sales goal.

Is it realistic to expect a $1400 show in direct sales like Pampered Chef?

Yes, it is realistic, especially if the host has a strong network and is committed to promoting the show. Factors such as the host's enthusiasm, the quality of the products, and the timing of the event can all influence the potential for high sales.

What strategies can a host use to reach a $1400 sales goal?

Hosts can employ several strategies, including inviting a larger number of guests, offering incentives for attendees to purchase, showcasing popular products, and utilizing social media to create buzz. Additionally, they can consider hosting a cooking demonstration to engage guests and encourage sales.

How can a consultant support a host aiming for a $1400 show?

A consultant can provide valuable support by offering tips on how to promote the show, helping with product selection, and providing marketing materials. They can also assist with setting up the show, conducting demonstrations, and following up with guests after the event to encourage sales.

What if the show does not reach $1400 in sales?

If the show does not reach the $1400 goal, it's important to focus on the positive aspects, such as the connections made and the experience gained. The consultant can work with the host to analyze what worked and what didn’t, helping to improve future shows. Every show is a learning opportunity, and success can come in different forms.
