maryhenderlite said:I hand them out to everyone! I carry the catalog tote, and anyone that shows an interest gets one. I always mention PC. I go to a dept store, I give one to the clerk, at the bank.. Everyone.. Most people won't turn it away. I just ask them to pass it around or leave it for someone else.. Just to get my name out there. Good luck!
pkd09 said:I had my "yearly" check up last month and asked the receptionist if they had a lunch/break room for the staff. When she said "yes" I asked her if I could leave a few PC catalogs with her. She again said "yes". Is all you have to do is ask. It is as simple as that.

If someone asked me if they could leave a biker gear catalog at my workplace I would say yes knowing full well that I don't want it and will throw it away. I don't want to give my catalogs to someone that will throw them away!! Also a lot of you said you gave them out and never heard from the people. At HO training they said to always get the interested persons info, but grocery store clerks don't have the time to fill out a door prize slip. How do you get those people's info?

Yah, I do the same thing. After years of toting around catalogs I got tired of always giving and never receiving. Instead I wear PC clothing now and that always seems to spark interest. When it does, I tell them I would be happy to mail them a catalog and ALWAYS ASK if I can follow up. That's the key!! It's easier than you think to say something like... I don't have a catalog on me since I've downsized my purse but I'd be happy to mail you one.....I'll call you in a few days make sure it arrived and answer any questions you have. How does that sound?.... Everyone says okay!soonerchef said:First, not everyone wear's "biker gear" but, everyone eats and almost everyone has a kitchen!
Secondly, when people ask me for a catalog I tell them that I don't have one (unless they are at a place that I know I will see them again) and I ask for their info instead, name and phone # is fine. After I have their info I tell them that I will call them to get their address to mail them a catalog.

So take a tote to pick up stuff but fill it with catalogs to drop off stuff too!
I get crappy remarks like that from my other half as well as my mom. Well, guess what, I just do what I want to anyway. Sometimes I am way off base and sometimes I am right on the money.
But I would never have known if I had not taken that chance and listened to my own heart.
After all, it's my business, my choice and my problem if it doesn't work. BUT IT'S MINE!

I have doing our state fair since the begining of my time - this will be year 6 - and I have only gotten one show out of it. At least that is what I thought.
What I did not know was that 5 years ago this lady named Mary signed up to get a catalog. I sent her the new one and never heard from her again.
What I did not know was this. Mary is an inlaw of a person I used to go to school with and was in 4-H with. mary passed the catalog to her. Well, last fall this inlaw attended the show of a mutal friend or ours and booked a show. At her show, Mary came. Mary booked a show. Mary's show only took 5.25 years to get to but she did. And I got two more shows out of the deal.
SO you never know how it will progress.
I hope you do very well from it. And never look at resulting "nothing" as bad. It put you out there and gave you some practice for the next one.
It's always best to start with a friendly greeting and a smile. Introduce yourself as a representative of Pampered Chef and explain that you have some product catalogs that you would like to share with them. Be sure to ask if they have a moment to take a look at the catalog and if they are interested in any specific products.
It's important to respect the person's decision and not push them. Thank them for their time and let them know that you are available if they change their mind in the future. You can also offer to leave a catalog with them for them to look at later.
Absolutely! Leaving a business card is a great way to make yourself available for any questions or orders the person may have. It also shows that you are a professional and trustworthy representative of Pampered Chef.
It's always best to check with the store or office first to make sure they allow outside vendors. If they do, be sure to follow any rules or guidelines they may have in place. Additionally, it's important to be respectful of people's personal space and not be too pushy or aggressive when offering the catalog.
Great question! If someone expresses interest in purchasing products, be sure to have a pen and order forms with you. You can either take their order directly or offer to schedule a time to deliver the products in person or through the mail. And don't forget to thank them for their support and business!
