Yeah, I know what you mean. I leave for SDD wedding on the 5th come back on the 9th and then gone for Conference from 11th-15th. Have one show end of June (dated for July) before I leave and then 8 more after I get back!MGG said:So far 7 cooking shows for July--not bad considering after conference I will be gone 1 week on vacation with DH. 2 cooking for August.

Don't get discouraged! When is/was your FIRST show? Get on the phone and get everyone all excited about the Pampered Chef! Your enthusiasm will get everyone wanting to do shows with you!cheferikab said:Just 1 at the very end of July. My career with PC is starting so slowly. I am really kind of discouraged.
Oh well. I will keep on going.

KRISTI'SCOOKING said:I just picked up another July show today when I took my son in for his physical. I asked the office manager about having a "corporate express" office show. She immediately said - you need to talk to our luncheon scheduler- tell her i said to put you on the schedule. She said the pharm reps do luncheons for them all the time. And they would love to have someone come cook for them.

Isnt that always the way we talk ourselves out of business? LOL! Just ask... the worst can happen is they decline! good Luck to you,missyciccolella said:Thanks for that tip! I just moved a few months ago, and have been trying to figure an angle into offices like that...I guess I should just ask! LOL I've been making it more difficult than it should be!

jenniferknapp said:I have 1 catalog show and 5 cooking shows for July.... oh, and my open house this weekend will be submitted as July if it doesn't get me the $800 I need to go to the next level for June.
....Then I think I need to take a few months of just 1-2 shows a month before I decide to quit or something!

As of now, I have 9 cooking shows booked for July and 3 for August. This is my best summer ever!
My best advice for booking shows during the summer is to reach out to past customers and offer them a special summer deal or promotion. You can also host outdoor cooking shows or partner with local events to reach a larger audience.
If a show needs to be cancelled or rescheduled during the summer, I always try to be understanding and accommodating. I offer alternative dates or allow the host to pass the show onto a friend or family member. It's important to maintain good relationships with your hosts, even during the busy summer months.
As a Pampered Chef consultant, I try to plan my vacations around my show schedule. I also make use of technology and social media to continue promoting my business while on vacation. It's important to set boundaries and make time for both work and relaxation.
One tip for increasing sales during the slower summer months is to offer exclusive summer products or bundles. You can also host virtual parties and offer online specials to reach a wider audience. Lastly, don't be afraid to get creative with your marketing and promotions to attract new customers.
