I was in a mood tonight and sent PMs to all the consultants who were posting inappropriate stuff on the HO page. This is what I sent them:

I'm not trying to be snotty or mean, but please post consultant questions and answers on the Pampered Chef Community. It is inappororiate and unprofessional for us to have consultant-only discussions on the corporate page. It makes all of us look bad.

I would love to send them here, but I don't think they could handle us :)
 
Good for you. It is inappropriate to post anything but customer-targeted comments on the company page.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it unprofessional to discuss consultant-only topics on a corporate page?

Yes, it is generally considered unprofessional to discuss consultant-only topics on a corporate page. Corporate pages are meant for public information and branding, while consultant-only topics should be reserved for private consultant forums or groups.

What types of topics are considered consultant-only?

Consultant-only topics typically include commission structures, sales strategies, team dynamics, and any internal policies or updates that are not meant for the general public. These discussions are best held in private settings to maintain professionalism and confidentiality.

What are the potential consequences of discussing consultant-only topics publicly?

Discussing consultant-only topics publicly can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and potential disciplinary action from the company. It may also damage the credibility of the consultants and the brand as a whole.

How can consultants communicate about sensitive topics without being unprofessional?

Consultants should use private groups, messaging apps, or designated forums to discuss sensitive topics. This ensures that conversations remain confidential and are conducted in a professional manner.

Are there any exceptions to discussing consultant-only topics on a corporate page?

Exceptions may exist if the corporate page has designated posts or threads for consultant discussions, but these should be clearly marked and approved by corporate. Always check company guidelines to ensure compliance.
