To increase your show average, increase the Number of Orders Placed at a show BY:

1. Make sure host sends ALL 40 invitations. Don't ask "Have you sent out all the invitations? ask, "How many more invitations do you need?"

Any more tips? Let's add to this list...
 
2. Give the host a reason to call. Two days before tell her to call everyone and tell them to... (bring an ugly spoon, wear pink, whatever) - don't tell her earlier. You want her calling all the yeses and maybes right before the show to remind them.
 
Having guests bring a friend or an outside order.
 
Always show your host where they are at when you leave the party and the next two levels. I say something like "Right now you are at $480, here are your benefits... When you hit $500, you'll benefits will change to... and if you collect another $120 in orders - that's just 3-4 more orders - you'll be at $600 which gives you X amount more for free". When they see the difference in their benefits they are always willing to work on it.Another way to increase orders is I offer a Round up Trivet if they collect 7 orders before their show. If they want that trivet they will work hard enough to get those orders.
 
I give all the guests time to sell products to each other at parties. By providing enough "chat time", this is what happens.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective ways to engage guests during a Pampered Chef show?

Engaging guests can significantly increase the number of orders placed. Start by creating an interactive atmosphere where guests can participate in cooking demonstrations. Encourage questions and provide hands-on experiences with the products. Incorporating fun games or challenges related to the products can also keep guests interested and excited, leading to more orders.

How can I showcase the value of Pampered Chef products to my guests?

To showcase the value of Pampered Chef products, focus on demonstrating their unique features and benefits during the show. Share personal stories or testimonials about how the products have improved your cooking experience. Highlight time-saving aspects, quality, and versatility, and offer practical tips on how to use the products in everyday cooking.

What strategies can I use to create urgency for placing orders at a show?

Creating urgency can motivate guests to place orders immediately. You can offer limited-time discounts or exclusive products available only during the show. Additionally, consider implementing a special offer for orders placed within a certain timeframe, such as a free gift for those who order before the end of the show. This can encourage guests to act quickly.

How can I follow up with guests after the show to increase orders?

Following up with guests after the show is crucial for increasing orders. Send personalized thank-you notes or emails, including a recap of the show and links to the products demonstrated. You can also offer a special promotion for those who didn't place an order during the show, encouraging them to revisit the products and make a purchase.

What role does product knowledge play in increasing orders at a show?

Having strong product knowledge is essential for increasing orders. When you can confidently explain the features, benefits, and uses of each product, guests are more likely to trust your recommendations and make purchases. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the entire product line, and be prepared to answer any questions that may arise during the show.
