I'm fairly new, and while I do own alot of PC products (not nearly as much as a I once thought, now that I am a consultant!), I don't really know alot of ways to use the products besides what they were designed.

I've been listening to the training resources MP3s and Teleclasses, and alot of GREAT ideas about multi-uses and cross-selling ideas for many products.
I was just wondering if anyone has seen or put together a list of these ideas that I could 'borrow'? I'm not the most creative-type, so for me to look at a citrus peeler and see that I could use it to pop muffins out of a pan, that escapes me! But it's a great idea! Or the salad spinner - *I heard Feriale Yan's "Be a Master Seller" speel on Salad Spinners*....I didn't even think of half the stuff she mentioned!

With the current economic situation and people thinking narrowly about products and price- having those ideas of multi-use would be a huge help to someone like me just starting out.

Even if it's not formally typed up- what do you use in your shows to show multi-uses on various products??

Thanks! :balloon:
 
Kelly, in the Page by Page Quick Tips you posted, I thought something said a "built in Homer Simpson."

I'm like, what the HECK does that mean? It eats donuts and drools?

Upon further inspection, it said "Built in Honer/Sharpener"

Going upstairs to get my glasses right now!
 
and all those twixit ideas, wonder if you couldn't create some sort of game -- giving out one idea at a time to see who guesses what product you're talking about, and they could even win a set from you, or better yet, give them a buy one, get one free deal to the winner! I think I'll try this!
 


Hi there! Congratulations on becoming a Pampered Chef consultant! I completely understand where you're coming from - when I first started, I also struggled with finding unique and creative ways to use our products. But don't worry, with time and practice, you'll become a pro at it! In the meantime, I highly recommend checking out our website and blog for inspiration and ideas. Our website has a "Recipes and Tips" section where you can find different recipes and ways to use our products. Our blog also features tips and tricks from consultants and customers alike. Another great resource is our Facebook group for consultants, where we share our own experiences and ideas for using our products. You can also reach out to your upline or fellow consultants for tips and advice - we're always happy to help each other out! And don't forget, practice makes perfect.
