Looking for an Emailable Cluster Recognition/Newsletter Format

[dannyzmom]

Currently I mail my cluster their recognition and news each month - but with a growing down line and rising postage prices that is getting rather expensive.

Does anyone have an email Cluster Newsletter/ Recognition format that they would be willing to share?

Thanks in advance!

I get this email from my director monthly. The subject is always Reconition. It looks like she really doesn't have a format she just goes to her email account and types away. I hope that these help start the creative juices.

Sorry these are so long

Dear Brooke,

Just a quick note to say "hello" and to THANK YOU for your sales contributions to our First Line last month! I hope that you know that the work YOU do is important and that your contributions make a difference!

Our team's recognition is posted on my web page at. Log in using the monthly User Name and Password. On the left Tool Bar, click on "Recognition." Our team's First Line and overall accomplishments are posted.

If you are attending a hospitality meeting this month, print out the E-mail and give it to the Hosting Director, so that YOU can be recognized for a job WELL DONE!

Are you excited about the June Cluster Challenge? Our team needs to hold a total of 416 Shows (each Show must be a total of $250.00 in guest sales.) To earn the Fall Product for free ($70.00 value) we must hit the 416 Show total. You need to submit no less than 2 Shows (all Show types count.) We can't be even 1 Show short of our 416 Show goal. Please send an e-mail to to let me know how many Shows you plan to hold in June. I will update the team, based on the e-mails that I receive, with what our individual challenges will be! Lets all pull together and make this challenge happen! We have the largest First Line in the entire company and I know that we can hit our team goal!

I look forward to seeing you at the National Conference this year! Don't forget - if you decide to join my Director team, the Pampered Chef Home Office will fly you in (my First Line Directors - call for clarification) to visit me at our Annual Leaders Retreat every fall. If you are interested in learning more about our Director program, please give me a call!

Bits of Business...

Have you considered the numerous advantages of working for PC versus one of the many other options in the Direct Sales field?? We truly are blessed with the absolute best company in the market today!! Review these advantages and commit them to memory so you can share with individuals that might be interested.we really can't be beat!!

The Pampered Chef Advantages!

The Pampered Chef Starter Kit costs only $90 (or even $50 when you host a show). Pampered Chef Consultants do not have to rejoin (pay again) every year.

Pampered Chef Consultants do not keep inventory.

Consultants do not make deliveries. All products are shipped UPS directly to the host.

The Pampered Chef pays for host gifts. Most direct sales companies have the consultant pay for host gifts.

The Pampered Chef pays the fee to credit card companies for consultants. In some direct sales companies, if a purchase is paid by credit care, the consultant must pay a fee for the transaction as well as the start up cost (usually around $400.00).

Pampered Chef Consultants do not have their commission "adjusted" (reduced) if someone returns a product.

The Pampered Chef gives a commission increase when career sales of $15,000 are reached. There are more increases as you promote to Director.

The Pampered Chef collects and pays all state sales taxes.

Paperwork is inexpensive and changes only twice a year. Consultants also receive free samples of the new paperwork.

Pampered Chef Consultants can order ALL new product samples at half price (if they did not already earn them for free). Some companies offer only select samples for discounted purchase.

The Pampered Chef has a toll-free customer service number for consultants. Some companies have 900 numbers and only directors can call.

Pampered Partner, the computer program Pampered Chef consultants use to submit shows electronically, comes free with the Starter Kit.

The Pampered Chef's generous host program encourages bookings!

The Pampered Chef all booking related offers (most direct sales consultants pay for the booking gifts themselves).

Pampered Chef host benefits are not tied to bookings. Hosts get benefits even if there are no bookings; however, the average consultant receives 2 bookings per show.

Pampered Chef Hosts do not pay tax on their FREE products.

Pampered Chef Hosts can earn 4 half-price items (some companies offer only as little as one)

Pampered Chef Hosts do not pay shipping and handling NO MATTER what the sales are from their qualifying show~ Some company will not cover shipping unless sales reach minimum levels!
