I am getting ready to send an e-mail with someone who booked a show. I am so bad at remembering to say what I need to in a phone call so I thought it would be best to do it in written form.

Any suggestions on what to say? I don't want to leave out important points but also don't want to overwhelm her with recipe choices!
 
I don't talk recipes until about a week before the show - once the invites have gone out, and we have more of a feel how many will be there.

We usually decide on a theme during the first phone call - but about 90% of my shows are Real Food Real Fast shows using the DCB......

Here is the letter I have been using. I email it, and then also send a hard copy. It's formatted to use on paper with some type of border around it. During Nov-Dec I used a Christmas paper, now I'm using a party type paper with balloons and confetti.

Hi there,First of all, congratulations on booking a show! That's always an exciting opportunity.When it comes to communicating important information in an e-mail, it's always helpful to start with a brief introduction and thank the person for booking the show. From there, you can outline the key points you want to cover, such as the date and time of the show, any specific requirements or requests, and any important details about the products or services you will be showcasing.In terms of recipe choices, it might be helpful to provide a few options and let the person know that you are open to discussing and finalizing the menu together. That way, you can ensure that you are both on the same page and that the person doesn't feel overwhelmed with too many choices.Overall, just be clear, concise, and friendly in your e-mail. And don't forget to include your contact information in case the person has any questions or needs to reach you.Best of luck with your show!Sincerely,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is host coaching and why is it important for a successful Pampered Chef party?

Host coaching involves guiding and supporting your host before, during, and after their party to ensure it runs smoothly and achieves the desired results. It is important because effective coaching helps the host feel confident, engaged, and prepared, which can lead to higher attendance, more sales, and a better overall experience for everyone involved.

How can I effectively communicate with my host before the party?

Effective communication can be achieved through regular check-ins via phone, text, or email. Provide your host with clear information about their responsibilities, party goals, and tips for inviting guests. Consider sending a personalized email template that outlines key points and reminders to keep them on track.

What are some key tips I should share with my host to encourage guest attendance?

Encourage your host to create excitement by sharing their personal connection to Pampered Chef products, sending out engaging invitations, and following up with guests individually. Suggest they offer incentives, such as a raffle or a fun theme, to motivate guests to attend and participate in the party.

How can I help my host prepare for the party presentation?

Offer to conduct a practice run with your host to go over the presentation flow, product demonstrations, and any games or activities planned for the party. Provide them with a checklist of items to prepare, such as product samples, order forms, and any necessary equipment, to ensure they feel ready and confident on the day of the party.

What should I do after the party to support my host and maximize sales?

After the party, follow up with your host to thank them for their efforts and discuss the results. Encourage them to reach out to guests who couldn’t attend to share the party highlights and offer a chance to order. Additionally, provide them with a summary of sales and any rewards they earned, and discuss potential future parties or referrals to keep the momentum going.
