Director Helping New Consultants With Bookings

[cookingwithlove]

I have quite a few new consultants. They are excited they are motivated. They're family and friends suck. It has been so long for me since I have been in their positions. So I have some questions:

How do you find books when your family and friends will not help you out?

How do you keep these great new consultants motivated?

GO show, did you help them with that?

Yes, I do the usual, but every once and awhile I have a consult that does not have have a solid base of friends and family. They may have no family here and a stay at home mom. Husband works for a small company or self employed. The few friends they have are not really willing to help them out. I just need some ideas a little outside the box. I have 2 girls in particular who are really motivated, and I just don't want them to get discouraged. 1 has just signed up for a fair but it is not until May.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand the struggle of trying to find bookings when your family and friends are not able to help out. One thing that has worked for me is reaching out to my local community and networking with other small businesses or organizations. You can offer to do a joint event or collaborate on a fundraiser, which can bring in new customers and potential future hosts.Another tip is to utilize social media and online platforms to promote your Pampered Chef business. Share your products and specials on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms to reach a wider audience. You can also offer virtual cooking parties or demonstrations for those who may not be able to attend in-person events.As for keeping your new consultants motivated, I have found that setting achievable goals and celebrating their successes is key. Encourage them to reach out to their own networks and offer support and guidance along the way. It's also important to remind them of the benefits of being a Pampered Chef consultant, such as the flexibility and potential for earning extra income.I hope these tips help! Best of luck to you and your new consultants. Remember, we are all in this together and there is always a way to find success in our businesses. Keep up the great work!
