That makes a total of 4, so that should take care of qualifying... and she wants to get two choppers w/ the June host special, so she might co-host with her sister so they can break it up into two shows.

Now, these are all 4 Catalog shows. I need to figure out how to get some Cooking shows on the books. I'm thinking open house. I really want to figure out a way to invite some of my new neighbors. Trouble is, I havn't met most of them. I feel kind of funny that the first contact we would have is me basically asking them to come to my house and spend money. What do you guys think?
 
Go for it! Don't view it that way or they will. Many people meet their neighbors at Pampered Chef shows! Send the invites out, follow up, be excited! They will come!You are right about needing the cooking shows...that's what generates the bookings and the business. ...getting peoples' hands on the products.Keep working and asking. ...and make sure you are ONLY asking for catalog shows as a last resort, ask for what you want, ask for the cooking shows!
 
My upline invited everyone in her new neighbourhood to a Mexican Fiesta (aka PC show). It worked. She got sales, bookings & met her neighbours all at once!

I love the theme idea... And I love Mexican food. That just might be a perfect idea. Do you know which recipes she used?
 
Hi there! It sounds like you have a great plan in place for your upcoming shows. Co-hosting with your sister is a fantastic idea and will definitely help you reach your qualifying goal. As for getting some cooking shows on the books, an open house is a great way to introduce yourself to your new neighbors and showcase some of our amazing products. You can make the event more casual and fun by offering some simple appetizers or snacks made with our products. It's also a great opportunity to offer some special deals or incentives for those who book a cooking show with you. Don't be afraid to reach out to your neighbors, they will appreciate the invitation and may even become future customers. Best of luck with your shows!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are some effective ways to introduce myself to my new neighbors?

Start by hosting a casual meet-and-greet at your home or in a common area. Bring some Pampered Chef products to showcase while serving snacks made with them. This allows you to connect with your neighbors and introduce them to your business in a relaxed setting.

2. How can I leverage social media to reach out to my neighbors?

Create a neighborhood group on platforms like Facebook or Nextdoor. Share cooking tips, recipes, and information about upcoming cooking shows. You can also post about your Pampered Chef products, offering special promotions for your neighbors to encourage them to host shows.

3. Should I offer incentives to my neighbors for hosting cooking shows?

Yes! Offering incentives such as discounts on products, free items, or exclusive recipes can motivate your neighbors to host a cooking show. Make sure to communicate the benefits they will receive for hosting, which can make the idea more appealing.

4. How can I make my cooking shows appealing to my neighbors?

Focus on themes that resonate with your neighbors, such as quick weeknight meals, healthy cooking, or family-friendly recipes. Tailor your shows to their interests and needs, and consider incorporating interactive elements like hands-on cooking or tasting sessions.

5. What follow-up strategies should I use after a cooking show?

After the cooking show, follow up with attendees through thank-you notes or messages. Ask for their feedback and offer to answer any questions they may have about the products. This keeps the conversation going and can lead to more bookings as they share their experience with others.
