Currently, the Taste of Travel Calculator includes ALL Consultants, Senior Consultants and Team Leaders. As a reminder, Consultants, Senior Consultants and Team Leader who have already earned the annual incentive award (whether you traveled or took the alternate award), are NOT eligible to participate in this program even if your name appears on the Taste of Travel Incentive Calculator.

I am able to run a report for my team and see where they are for Nashville, but that doesn't help me since I don't show on the report. Sigh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it me, or does it seem a bit ridiculous to host a party just to sell kitchen tools?
It's understandable to feel that way. However, Pampered Chef parties are designed to be fun and interactive experiences where guests can learn about the products, see them in action, and enjoy cooking demonstrations. Many find that the social aspect and the opportunity to try products before buying make it worthwhile.
Is it me, or do some people take direct sales too seriously?
You're not alone in thinking that! Direct sales can sometimes create a competitive atmosphere, especially among consultants. It's important to remember that everyone's approach is different, and while some may treat it as a serious business, others enjoy it as a side hobby. Finding a balance that works for you is key.
Is it me, or do the prices of Pampered Chef products seem high?
Many people notice that Pampered Chef products can be pricier than typical kitchen items. However, the quality, durability, and unique features of these products often justify the cost. Additionally, the company frequently offers discounts, promotions, and host rewards that can help offset expenses.
Is it me, or do some consultants push their products too hard?
It can feel that way at times, especially if you're not interested in purchasing. While some consultants are enthusiastic about sharing their products, it's important to set boundaries and communicate your preferences. A good consultant will respect your space and focus on building relationships rather than just making sales.
Is it me, or does it feel awkward to ask friends to buy things?
Feeling awkward about asking friends to make purchases is common. Many consultants struggle with this aspect of direct sales. It's helpful to approach it as sharing something you love rather than a hard sell. Focusing on the benefits and experiences rather than just the products can make the conversation feel more natural.
