I enter EVERYBODY that attended the show whether or not they purchased anything. I get their information from the drawing slips. I even make notes on their drawing slips with how they participated in the show (if at all). Those that seemed really into it and engaged and didn't purchase anything are my 'red flags' that I will call for bookings or recruiting.

That booking gets entered into P3 and that is how it is tracked.
When the booking acutally happens, the host can buy the host special of the month.
So in this case, Host Lisa invites her friend Monica. Monica does not order anything from Lisa's show. But - the consultant adds Monica as a booking in P3 on Lisa's party.
Monica has her catalog show sometime in the next 6 months. Lisa can order whatever is the host special of the month on Monica's show.
That is how the original host (Lisa) gets credit. IT HAS TO BE ENTERED IN P3. You can't add it later, in other words.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to record a show when no order is placed?
Recording a show when no order is placed refers to the process of documenting a virtual or in-person cooking show event where guests participate but do not make any purchases. This allows the host to still benefit from the experience and maintain engagement with their friends and potential customers.
Why would someone want to record a show without any orders?
Recording a show without orders can help maintain momentum in building relationships with friends and potential customers. It allows the host to showcase products, share recipes, and create excitement about future shows or promotions, even if immediate sales do not occur.
Can I still earn rewards if no orders are placed during the show?
Typically, rewards are tied to actual sales made during the show. However, some companies, including Pampered Chef, may offer incentives for hosts who engage their friends and family, even if no orders are placed. It’s best to check with your Pampered Chef consultant for specific policies regarding rewards.
How can I encourage my friends to place orders during a recorded show?
To encourage orders, focus on creating an engaging and interactive experience. Share exciting product demonstrations, offer exclusive deals, and highlight the benefits of the products. Follow up with participants after the show to remind them of what they loved and provide links to place orders.
What should I do if my friends are hesitant to place orders?
If your friends are hesitant, try to understand their concerns. Offer to answer any questions they may have about the products, provide testimonials or reviews, and emphasize any promotions or discounts available. Building trust and addressing their hesitations can help encourage them to make a purchase.
