I just walked in the door from a show, and have to get the dishes done & repack for another show in 2 hours. I've been looking, but can't find the answer to this in the Policy & Procedure ... Murphy's Law ... it's probably because I'm in a hurry! ;)

My host wants to sign up as a consultant & use the FPV toward the new consultant kit. I want her to be able to count her show today as her first & claim the commissionable sales. I know how to show me as the consultant & give her the kit credit and I know how to let her sign up on-line & pay for the consultant kit ... but can she get both the kit credit AND count the show and commissionable sales as hers? Or is it an "either or" situation???
 
it's an either/or situation. From what I know. If any directors know differently, then correct me buit I think that is how it works. There is really no way from what I remember from when I was a director on how that can work. What I've done in the past is used any outside orders that they got on there own show, for there first show....Good luck!

She would have to purchase the kit , become a consultant FIRST if she wants to get commission on the show...therefore, she would not be able to use her FPV for the kit credit. So it's an "either or" situation...technically and by the Policy & Procedures.

BUT...There are consultants who do the show for the prospective consultant. Gives the show to the consultant after she signs an uses her FPV toward her kit...then submits her own show as the her first. But ethically, I would NOT recommend this. Besides right now they can get a $100 kit credit!

A $100 kit refund? I'm not finding a flyer on that ... just the curret special for $20, $40, $80 or $100 on kit credit. Is there something I'm missing?
 
The kit credit is what Ginny is talking about. And everyone is correct, it's an either or. What you might want to do is add up all the orders that equal enough for the credit she wants then let her have everything over that for her first show. I usually submit the show and give my newbee the bookings.
 
You can also let her use any credit she's earned as the host of this show, and submit after-show outside orders as her first catalog show.

Thanks Shauna! :yuck:
 
If you went and did the show, the show sales are yours. It is against PC policies to submit it as her show. You can give her any outside orders that SHE collected as her first catalog show.

This is exactly what I was trying to say, thanks Debbie for helping me make that clear!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is kit credit in Pampered Chef?

Kit credit is a benefit offered by Pampered Chef that allows new consultants to earn credits towards their starter kit by achieving certain sales goals or by recruiting new consultants. This credit helps offset the initial investment required to start a business with Pampered Chef.

How can I maximize my kit credit through show sales?

To maximize your kit credit through show sales, focus on hosting multiple cooking shows and engaging with your audience. Offer incentives for bookings, provide excellent customer service, and showcase popular products. The more sales you generate, the more kit credit you can earn, which can help you build your business more effectively.

What strategies can I use to encourage new consultant sign-ups?

To encourage new consultant sign-ups, share your personal success stories and the benefits of joining Pampered Chef.
