Help - Not Sure Whether to Sign or Not

[cookingisfunagain]

YOu basically get twice the rewards for shows within your first 30 days, and yes, they have to be CLOSED within the 30 days, not just held within the 30 days. I ordered my kit so that it arrived 3-4 days before the first show and I scheduled 6 shows (1 open house, 4 regular and 1 fundraiser) within those 3 weeks. That gave me time to close them AND I got awesome benefits (lots of PC dollars to spend on anything I wanted) even though one of the parties cancelled. You can't redo that first 30 days. I would wait to sign until I had plenty of parties scheduled!

Another tip.... those PC dollars you get for free.... you can use those to purchase kit enhancement products (during your fourth month) and season samples (even if the date for current consultants has passed) and that helps stretch those dollars even further!

If I didn't have to go inactive for a year to do it I would start over JUST to have those 30 day start up bonuses again!! Whatever you do , don't waste them!

Just sign when you feel comfortable. Don't sign just to benefit your director. This business is about you.

When I first started, my director suggested having 4 shows lined up but mentioned that they don't necessarily have to be my first 4. I had my sister agree to my first one in September, a girl i worked with in October, my aunt in December and my step mom in November. As of today, my stepmom will be holding her show in February. If you're family is considerate like mine, they spread the word to co workers that I was starting my business, and invited people that I don't necessarily know and see on a regular basis. That is how I got my first bookings. I always thought of it as the main goal is to get outside of your comfort zone. My dad's girlfriend even got me a booking from a girl she worked with (she was at my sisters show) That ended up being my show last week, and the best one so far! So if you are capable, get outside of the comfort circle. It only takes one person to get you there!

Keep in mind PC gives you an extra few days or sometimes an extra week to account for the shipping time to get your kit to you. So if you sign on Jan 31st your 30 day end date might be March 6th (or somewhere around there). So make sure your March 2nd host is prepared to close within a couple of days of her show.

Don't worry to much.I had 3 firm bookings and a catalog show . When I first joined. I am going on my first year. Do your best if you feel over whelmed it's ok to ask for help from your director and the cluster you are in.
The neat part is that usually when a person joins pampered chef that person has high sales for the first 90 days. The reason is that you are excited about the product and since you are on fire others want it as well.
Some months sales can be low but don't be discourage it will pick up. Just remember the 321 3 contacts a day 2 bookings a week and 1 recruit a month.
this will make your business grow! also remember in are in business for yourself but not by yourself. You have many people to help you a great support team. think of it a a very big bra with big cups . ( the big bra is your support network and help it is over flowing! ) congrats on joining the pampered chef team! l monninger
