I would put some things in there about customer service...like managed 300 (or however many you have) customers and conducted regular follow-up to ensure needs were met.
Now, if you don't follow-up with your customers, then you wouldn't use that. But if you do OOB calls, maintain a newsletter, etc. then you do!

It really depends on what kind of job your applying for. You could list Self-employed and then various duties. I mean you want to push the skill you want to sell: ie phone and business skills, cooking skills, salesmen skills. >>You want to sell the skills that you have acquired through your business that will benefit the employer. I always emphasize what I can do in an interview not so much on a resume. Technically you are a " ___________ Consultant for the PChef" Or maybe
_________________ Director..... etc
_________________ Director..... etc

So I never thought I'd put PC on a resume for a pilot job, but I'm thinking that a freight pilot applying for a position flying passengers might enjoy it on her resume. Since I'm in the job hunt again, this is what I have now, any suggestions or additions?
· Conduct in-home demonstrations to sell quality kitchen tools
· Provide customer service in person, on phone, and via email
· Develop and train new consultants
