I've only had two shows so far, and I'm at $1020.00 in sales. My 30 days are up on April 2nd. I want to host my own catalog show, so I can make sure I qualify. My question is if I purchase items personally from that catalog show will that amount be counted towards my qualification?

Thanks for your help.
 
whatever you purchase as the host, you won't make comission on and it will not count as commissionable sales or your qualifying sales. You can do this though!! I would get on the phone and call everyone you know and tell them your goal, that you need ?$ to qualify. It's amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it. Make sure and tell everyone what the guest special is that they get for $60 in purchases. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

I thought I couldn't accept individual orders until I was qualified? Or is that just on my PWS?

A personal order by you doesn't qualify you either, you have to order under non-commission orders.

You can accept personal orders by phone that you enter into P3, you just cannot get them on your PWS

Thanks a bunch :)
 
Why not put the catalogue show in as if your husband, mother,sister,brother or child had a show and you were the consultant. Have the show shipped to your mother's house. This is the best idea.

Why don't you search on here for Mystery Host and do a Mystery Host show. I did that for one of my first shows to qualify.

This is against policy. If the person lives with you the same "rules" apply as if it was sent in your own name.

Pampered Chef is very generous to us consultants. Don't take advantage of that.

There are ways to add orders if you need additional sales to get to a certain level. If you have noone that you can call and you are in a time crunch, the best way is to order a gift for someone in their name. You will need to buy those gifts sometime anyway so why not get them something that they'll love and help yourself at the same time. That way you don't have to "stretch the truth".

Talk to your director for more ideas and look over the policies at CC.

You still won't get the qualifying commission. You can't have someone in your home host a show & get commission. However, your mother could host a catalog show for you if she doesn't live with you.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Catalog Show?

A Catalog Show is a type of Pampered Chef party where you showcase products through a catalog instead of a traditional in-home demonstration. Guests can browse the catalog, place orders, and enjoy the convenience of shopping from home.

How do I host my own Catalog Show?

To host your own Catalog Show, you need to contact your Pampered Chef consultant and express your interest. They will provide you with catalogs, order forms, and any additional materials you may need to promote your show. You can share the catalog with friends and family, either in person or digitally.

What are the benefits of hosting a Catalog Show?

Hosting a Catalog Show allows you to earn free products, discounts, and exclusive offers based on the total sales generated from your show. It’s a flexible way to engage with friends and family while enjoying the benefits of hosting a Pampered Chef event.

What does it mean to qualify a Catalog Show?

To qualify a Catalog Show, you typically need to reach a minimum sales threshold set by Pampered Chef. This threshold varies, but once met, it allows you to earn rewards such as free products, discounts, and other incentives based on the total sales from your show.

How can I promote my Catalog Show to ensure it qualifies?

You can promote your Catalog Show by sharing the catalog with friends and family, utilizing social media platforms, and sending out personal invitations. Consider hosting a virtual event or offering incentives for orders placed during the show to encourage participation and increase sales.
