Host Your Own Show & Earn the New PC Apron by July 31st - 911 Show Idea

[finley1991]

This is an oldie and was well received by a few of my consultants today who want to earn the new apron!

Who wants the NEW PC Apron? Need another July Show? Or 2?

CALL 9-1-1!

Here's how easy it is:

1. Pick a date between now and July 31st to have your own show.
2. Call and invite your friends! Don't stop until you have at least 9 confirmed guests!
3. Get 9 people to come...
4. Each guest brings 1 friend with her...
5. Demo 1 recipe!

911! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! :sun:

 

[pamperedbecky]

I'm going to send it out to my team! Thanks!

 

[Sheila]

I got to the 2nd line of the message thought: "we are going to ask the 911 operator to host a show???" :blushing:

Had to change "Call 911" to "Think 911" ~ but used it!!! I just sent it to my team and all the hospitality girls. Sorry, the retired Police Dispatcher couldn't leave the phrase "call 911" in there! LOL

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

WOW!!!! THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!!! going to share when I get home!! Thanks for sharing Colleen.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I was thinking it was Sept 11....looks like we all had different ideas going in our heads...

 

[Sheila]

Linda, that's 9-11, not 9-1-1.

 

[baychef]

Thank you, Colleen!Here is what I sent to my entire downline!!
Who wants the NEW Pampered Chef Apron? Need another July Show? Or 2 (those of you who went to conference need 4 parties to hold and submit for the Skinny Mini and a $50 dollar gas card)?

THINK 911!

Here's how easy it is:

1. Pick a date between now and July 31st to have your own show.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! Who will you call? I am making my list NOW!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Linda, that's 9-11, not 9-1-1.

yes, I know that...but the title of this thread is 911....so, open to individual interpretation.

 

[Sheila]

Oh, you're right! LOL

 

[baychef]

Me ED is so good and so making me accountable for the behaviors I want to establish (and have slipped on already!) She wrote this back to me...

And now make some time to CALL the key players to follow up your email. It’s a great time to find out what people want from their business – Fall is one of the many NEW YEARS we have with PC, a time people set new goals and make new plans, so keep PC on their radar.

I really have to do this somehow...my host for today is going on vacation and won't be back until after August 1st...I won't even make my $750 in sales now. :cry:

So I am having a "911":bugeye:

A host of mine went on vacation on Saturday and never called me back to close her show. I pray she returns on Saturday and we can do it on Sunday or there goes my 1000.00 show. Calling - 9-1-1. (or I will have to really dial 911 for the stroke I'll be having!) :yuck:

 

[Sheila]

(((hugs))) Ann & Melissa! I hope you each have it pull through for you before the end of the month!

 

[akaskydebil]

Aww thanks Sheila.

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Ugh, sorry to hear about that Ann and Melissa! I've been trying to close 3 shows FOREVER!! We'll see if it comes together in time. Sigh.

Sending you good juju so that 911 becomes a Wahooo! Here's to that last minute scramble dance.

 

[Sheila]

You're welcome sweetie! It's never fun (or FAIR) when hosts bail on you like that.

 

[baychef]

Ugh, sorry to hear about that Ann and Melissa! I've been trying to close 3 shows FOREVER!! We'll see if it comes together in time.

I feel your frustration!! I have a June 3rd show that I can't close, then her sister has a catty show (my hopes are not high for that one either). If they all come through I will at least have my $725 (that would be good).

On the bright side...August is cooking!! I have booked 2 catalog and 1 cooking show.

Not sure I can get the 911 pulled together in time. My house is trashed and I am semi-back to work, trying to get fall paperwork in place..etc.!!

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Totally feeling your pain Ann...get this, you'll enjoy it. I finally closed a June show this morning! Was happy it was finally in and all done...host is sweet, just was impossible to get her to round up the orders. Anyhow, I just notice...1 of the 3 orders she gave me had a cc decline! Buah ha ha

So, 2 shows in....4 more to go...wrapping up that is. I think I have 5 or 6 open shows for this month, so in theory it's a good month....closing and getting them in, that's another story. My 2 shows have me good to go in regards to sales, now to make sure the team is on it too.

 

[akaskydebil]

Now I'm trying to close a show that has a never ending credit card issue... First it won't go thru (over the limit) after trying several times as the guest "swears" there is nothing wrong...Now... I call the HO (tonite) to have items removed from her order and run it thru her debit card but first i have to add 2 seasons bests to it or it drops the host a level (from 1100 to 1000) and now the HO lady says "Can we call you back? Your show now is not balancing so we need IT to take a look at it." IT!?!?! Get out a darn calculator! LOL I ask her to run the cc for the guest (as there will still be a balance for my 2 SB's i'm adding to it and she says "oh we can do that when I call back." NOOOOOOOO then when the girls debit card doesn't go thru I'm playing phone tag again! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr This has been a week with going back and forth. IF i knew I wouldn't get stuck I'd just suck it up and pay for it and then have it ALL shipped to me but at this point I think I just say SCREW IT!

The host is considering the business so she can see what you can encounter as a consultant first-hand as the host.

I'm ready for August b/c nothing seems to be going right for July.

 

[baychef]

Melissa this sounds like a nightmarish mess...hope it is resolved soon.

 

[annew]

I've been sick for a week & w/not enough time on my calendar to do a 911 show I
just threw out on my FB page & sent a mass email to everyone that I was having a 2 day SALE 25% off!

& so far I'm @ $300 w/a few more people to get back to me!

I've encouraged my team to do the same!

 

[akaskydebil]

Melissa this sounds like a nightmarish mess...hope it is resolved soon.

Resolved and shipped today. *sigh* THANK GOD!

I had to order 2 Seasons Best Cookbooks so that would be 2.12 here in PA...somehow they told me I owed 3.36. No idea where that all came from but if it got off of hold after A WEEK, so be it!

It truely was a nightmare...and thankfully, it was time to 'wake up' and its over....I Hope.

 

[Sheila]

It's the NEW math. You and I are too old to understand it.

 

[akaskydebil]

Must go with the new way of learning. Long gone are the days of "see spot run".

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

2 of those never closing shows finally closed! And the sales weren't super hot. Guess what? 2 cc declines...one for each show...hosts cc and less than $40 each! ha ha ha...it's actually getting amusing for me now.

Don't look at Spot run, spot has a bit of a limp after his owner let him run loose without a leash and he was hit by a car. He's quite sensitive about his limp and it's rude to stare ...

 

[Sheila]

Oh, no Laurie!!!

LOL - must be why kids can't learn with the old methods! According to the parents in my area, their children "MUST" have full-day kindergarten. My response to them is, I went to college on an academic scholarship and by no means consider myself stupid or "behind" and yet I only had half-day kindergarten. The ABC's did not change nor did 1+1=2. Ok not opening that Pandora's box...hehehe

In our district, and I'm pretty sure it's for the whole state of Michigan, it was not the parents mandating full day K-garten, it was the gov't. The State said they "MUST" have full day K-garten. If our district didn't implement full day K-garten, they would have lost a big chunk of their state funding for the entire K program. Parents were SO upset about it, that the district had to come up with a half-day solution, while still offering the full day. Many parents (myself included) were going to skip K, or look into a private alternative, which would have also resulted in a lack of funding for the schools. It was a messy situation, and I believe this year the funding stipulations changed because of the uproar from parents and school districts.

 

[finley1991]

I live in MI and in our district and my sister's (we're in metro Detroit), parents can choose if they want all day or half-day in public school. My sister chose half for her kids because she thought they'd be too tired from a full day... seemed to work out okay for them and I highly doubt it's hindered their academic futures!!!
