lol, ok the first show I did was hosted be ME..
ok I got $90 free product and 2 half price items.. and have no idea what to get.. well besides everything, lol
 
Look through the recipes and see what it is you'd like to be able to cook and then order any products you don't have for making those recipes. But 1st take a look at your SS brochure to make sure you do not order things that you may get if you meet the qualifying or bonus extras.
 
Great show! Congrats! Did you get any bookings?
 
Congrats! I just finished up SS1 and have the following recommendations for what to get as these aren't in any of the bonus kits... and like was said, use it for stuff you won't potentially earn!Easy Accent Decorator
Rice Cooker Plus
Ice Cream Dipper
Vegetable Peeler
Small Microcooker
Handy Scraper
All the Best Cookbook
Kitchen Spritzer
Flour / Sugar Shaker
Apple WedgerMy $0.02Another $0.02 - Take a fall/winter shopping list... highlight everything that came in your kit in one color, then the SS bonuses, then the SS plus bonuses, then the recruiting bonuses. Not only will it motivate YOU but it's a great thing to show off to potential recruits!

4 bookings
 
Just FYI if you put in the show with you as the host or a memeber of your house hold you do not get to take advatage of the booking credits. I had a new consultant submit in her husbands name and HO called to inform her of this. You can send it in is someone elses name and ship it in c/o you at your address.
 
definetly ALL THE BESTMost of my demo recipes come from here. I used it the most before becoming a consultant too.
assuming you haven't closed yet

nomembers of my household were in those bookings, mabey family members, but that was my 30yr old brother, he is so good with the ladys lol, my mom for a future show she is remodleing the kitchen in her house she is moving into , the gal from work, and Tina for a long distance show. I did close as of today. great recomendations
 
It didn't matter if the bookings were members of your household. It is if the HOST is a member of your household. You can still do all of those shows, you just won't be able to take advatage of the past host getting the host special if Home Office catches it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first Pampered Chef show?

During your first Pampered Chef show, you can expect a fun and interactive experience. Your consultant will guide you through the process, demonstrating products and sharing recipes. Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, taste food, and learn about the benefits of the products. It's a great way to engage with friends and family while exploring new kitchen tools!

How can I prepare for my first show?

To prepare for your first show, start by inviting your friends and family. Create a guest list and send out invitations, either digitally or through traditional mail. Consider offering a theme for the show, such as a specific type of cuisine or cooking method. Make sure your space is clean and organized, and have a plan for refreshments if you choose to serve food.

What are the benefits of hosting my first show?

Hosting your first Pampered Chef show comes with several benefits. You can earn free and discounted products based on your sales and guest orders. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to learn new cooking techniques and recipes, and you can enjoy a fun social gathering with friends and family. Plus, you may receive exclusive host rewards that are not available to regular customers.

How do I handle guests who may not want to purchase anything?

It's important to remember that not everyone will be ready to make a purchase, and that's okay! Focus on creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests feel comfortable. Encourage them to enjoy the experience, ask questions, and sample the food. You can also emphasize that attending is a way to support you as a host, regardless of whether they make a purchase.
