How long is is supposed to take to import contacts to PWS from PP?? It is uploarding 350+ since Jan and it's been forever. Still seems like it is loading but there always seems to be a message at the bottom of the page that says Error on page

I could have keyed in about 20 or 30 contacts in the time it has taken to do this and I don't know if itis working
 
Importing has never worked for me....I've given up. Have you called the HO? That's what I need to do....sigh.

You can't use the customer connection e-mails if they aren't in the PWS Usually online the people that order online are automatically going to be in there and hosts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pampered Partner and how does it relate to my PWS?

Pampered Partner is a software tool used by Pampered Chef consultants to manage their contacts, sales, and business activities. Your Personal Website (PWS) is where you showcase your products and connect with customers. Importing contacts from Pampered Partner to your PWS allows you to streamline your customer management and enhance your marketing efforts.

Why is the import process taking so long?

The import process can take time due to several factors, including the size of your contact list, the speed of your internet connection, and the current load on the Pampered Chef servers. If you have a large number of contacts, it may take longer to process the import. Additionally, if there are any errors or issues with the data being imported, this can also cause delays.

What should I do if the import seems stuck?

If the import process appears to be stuck, first check your internet connection to ensure it is stable. You can also try refreshing the page or logging out and back into your account. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Pampered Chef support for assistance, as they can provide guidance on resolving any technical issues.

Are there any tips to speed up the import process?

To potentially speed up the import process, ensure that your contact list is clean and free of duplicates or errors before starting the import. Additionally, try to import smaller batches of contacts at a time rather than your entire list all at once. This can help the system process the data more efficiently.

Will I lose any data during the import process?

Generally, you should not lose any data during the import process if it is completed successfully. However, it is always a good practice to back up your contacts in Pampered Partner before starting the import. This way, you have a copy of your data in case any issues arise during the transfer.
