Dear

The Pampered Chef misses you!

Come back to your business in this Fall and be eligible not only to get back to something you loved but take advantage of our incentive program for 2009. In case you didn’t hear…..
WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY!!
We'll be traveling in 2010 to the most famous family destination of all time—Disney World! I think every parent dreams of taking their children to Disney World. You can be sure that the company will pull out all the stops for us—and how exciting will it be to be part of a trip this huge?!? There will literally be thousands of Pampered Chef consultants and families at Disney all at the same time. And big news is the company has BOUGHT OUT Animal Kingdom for an evening! That's right—only Pampered Chef will be in the park that evening for a fabulous dinner and fun! They've also arranged early morning admittance to the Magic Kingdom for all of us—something that not many companies can do!

Maybe things are different in your life now which will allow you to jump back into your business with The Pampered Chef! I hope you missed the recipes, the team, and the new products, because I miss you!

If your passion is still there and you love the products, let me help you restart your engine. November/December is great time to start a business with the holiday season upon us. Everyone is thinking about baking and cooking and gift giving. We are the answer to all three!

You might be thinking “is anyone buying Pampered Chef in this economy?” The answer is YES! People are going out less and eating at home MORE. They need our products to make that happen. Our test kitchens have developed a collection of recipes that are $2 or less per serving that we can share with our guests. People are hosting our Cooking Shows as a fun night in instead of spending money for a night out.

If you have been gone less than a year, all it takes is $200 in commissionable sales to reactivate. If you need some current catalogs to make that happen, just let me know! If you have been gone for more than a year, you must purchase the New Consultant Kit and you will qualify again to be in the New Consultant Rewards Program and earn Pampered Chef dollars for new products and paperwork too.

Enjoy looking through the mini-catalog, new consultant special, and Host Bonuses for November and December. If this is for you once again, great! If not, let’s work together as a host and consultant so you too can get all the new products for your kitchen. I’d love to do a show for you.

“Have a cooking show; it can change your kitchen. Start your business; it could change your life!”

I will call you to see if we can cook together once again!

Warmly,


Deb J.

I figured a piece of snail mail might do better catching their attention.
 
very true. Unfortunately, I'm out of minis again. I like this so much I want to get it out NOW! LOL
 
Thanks Deb - you ROCK! I'm absolutely borrowing this!

The original letter came from another director here in chicagoland, then I added some stuff that was sent to me by another director friend after NMD, and combined them both to make my own. Glad you like it!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include in my letter to inactive team members?

Your letter should include a warm greeting, an acknowledgment of their past contributions, and a reminder of the benefits of being active in the Pampered Chef community. You can also share updates about new products, promotions, and any upcoming events that might interest them. Lastly, encourage them to reach out if they have questions or need support.

How can I make my letter more personal?

To personalize your letter, include specific details about the individual, such as their past achievements or memorable moments you shared. Use their name frequently and express genuine interest in their well-being. A personal touch can make them feel valued and more inclined to re-engage.

What tone should I use in my letter?

The tone of your letter should be friendly, supportive, and encouraging. Avoid being overly formal or pushy. Instead, aim for a conversational tone that expresses your desire to reconnect and support them in their journey with Pampered Chef.

How often should I send letters to my inactive team members?

It's a good practice to reach out to inactive team members periodically, perhaps every few months. However, be mindful not to overwhelm them with too many communications. A well-timed letter can serve as a gentle reminder of the opportunities available without feeling intrusive.

What if I don’t receive a response to my letter?

If you don’t receive a response, don’t be discouraged. Some people may need time to think or may be busy with other commitments. Consider following up with a friendly message or phone call after a few weeks. Keep the lines of communication open and let them know you’re there to support them whenever they’re ready.
