Who May Find This Useful

Individuals considering joining Pampered Chef as consultants may find the shared experiences and encouragement from current consultants helpful in making their decision.

Considering the opportunity is a wonderful, terrible time. My suggestion is - just make a decision. You'll feel better being "off the fence", and you can always change your mind later.

So - you decide not to do it right now (as I did 11 years ago at my wife's party), if it is right for you, the opportunity will come back. I valiantly chased down that consultant (now a senior director) but couldn't find her, so went online to PC.com and became a home office lead. I just passed 22K in career sales in 3 years, and am dedicated to making whatever trip is presented for next year.

If you decide to jump in now, do so - with both feet. Something that can help you decide, is to go to a unit meeting (we call them cluster meetings) and checkout who and how the other folks are, that are doing this business. How are they being successful? How similar are their lives to yours?

Good luck with your decision. There is lots of support here, on MSN, some on Yahoo, and a lot on the PC website "inside" - an area called Consultant's Corner, that includes online and periodic telephone classes.

There are lots of fantastic people in The Pampered Chef. I wish you confidence in your decision, and good luck in your future!
 
Well said, Scott!
