Enter future bookings for show guests? and the N/C on the free supply order stuff?

Also, since PP didn't ask for mileage start and finish I've just tracked my total miles. That is all my full time jobs ever asked for so that's what I tracked. Now, I've only made 2 or 3 small trips this year so far so I think I can recreate that for 2007 but I think I'm out of luck for Aug-Dec of 06. I can do a good job of estimating my start & finish for the year based on car maintainence. I guess it's good they are including this now!

I do like the look and feel. Very MS Outlook meets Siebel, a sales/account management software we use at work that everyone but me seems afraid of. No one likes change I guess!
 
On the guest screen where you enter their name and address there is a booking box on the bottom right. I think you have to scroll down a bit.

There are special codes for the free stuff.
 
FK41 is the write in's (sorry I had to open my supply order to find it!)

P3 automatically puts 1 (or 2, if you're a director) of the Show Planners or Kit Agreements as free, if you've added them to your supply order. There's no extra column to check off!

Oh, okay, thanks ladies! I like getting my free planners and want to make sure I keep getting them.

I may not use P3 this weekend but wait until my OH later in the month to do it. I know once you submit you can't go back so want to look at it more again.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I manage bookings for my Pampered Chef shows?

To manage bookings for your Pampered Chef shows, start by keeping a detailed calendar of your available dates. Use tools like Google Calendar or a planner to track your shows. Communicate clearly with your hosts about their preferred dates and follow up regularly to confirm attendance. Utilize the Pampered Chef website to manage your bookings and access resources that can help you stay organized.

What is the best way to handle supply orders for my shows?

The best way to handle supply orders is to plan ahead. Make a checklist of all the supplies you will need for each show, including products for demonstrations, catalogs, and order forms. Place your orders well in advance to ensure everything arrives on time. Keep track of your inventory and reorder supplies as necessary to avoid last-minute scrambles.

How can I ensure I have enough supplies for multiple shows?

To ensure you have enough supplies for multiple shows, assess your typical needs based on past shows and the number of guests expected. Order extra supplies to cover multiple events, and consider bulk purchasing for frequently used items. Maintain an inventory list to track what you have on hand and what needs to be reordered.

What should I do if I run out of a product before a show?

If you run out of a product before a show, first check if you can borrow from another consultant or if you have a similar item that can be used as a substitute. If that's not possible, communicate with your host and let them know about the situation. You can also offer to place a backorder for the product or suggest alternatives that guests can purchase instead.

How can I streamline the booking and supply ordering process?

To streamline the booking and supply ordering process, consider using digital tools and apps that help you manage your calendar and inventory. Set reminders for follow-ups with hosts and for when to reorder supplies. Create templates for emails and messages to save time when communicating with hosts and customers. Regularly review your processes to identify areas for improvement.
