My Toddler's Surprising Phone Call: A Tale of Adventure!

[pamperedalf]

I have tell you guys.....My 2 1/2 year old DS was in the living room playing while I was in the kitchen cleaning. I heard him talking so I asked who he was talking to, and he told me daddy which I knew wasn't true because DH went riding w/ my BIL. So I took the phone and some lady was on there going hello. Well long story short it was a past host that I had called yesterday using that phone. He had hit redial and started talking away. Anyways I was able to touch base w/ the host and she is placing an individual order from the outlet. So he was helping me work my biz. What kids will do.....

Sign him up!!!

How cute! You may have started a new marketing strategy .

 

[pamperedharriet]

I agree with KG! Sign him up! Try to get him used to the names of some of the products and what people desperately need! LOL!!!!

He wants to fly on an airplane! Everytime I go to work I am telling him it's so we can go on an airplane. We are going to Maui at the end of Sept for my sis's wedding. He loves to fly, so it's a good way to sneak out to work w/o a fit.Now he's getting impatient, he wants to go now. LOL

 

[pamperedharriet]

He's adorable Amanda! Time does go by real slow for young ones......but at least you've got him understanding why you go out!

 

[lacychef]

Awwww, you've got an office assistant & you didn't even know it

 

[PampMomof3]

Alright Amanda, I'm going to have to recruit my kids!!! Thanks for the tip!

So funny! I could never have my son (4 years) talk to my customers. He would tell every one he "pooted". Doesn't matter who you are if he did it you will know!! LOL!!!!

My son isn't as cute (he's 18yo) but he helps with my business too. He tells his friends' moms that they could do things easier with PC products and even carries my business card in his wallet and hands them out (HIS idea). He is a waiter and uses my personalized pens - I tell him to not worry if someone keeps it and to give it to anyone who notices the writing on the pen asks about PC - lol.

 

[pamperedalf]

Beth where did you get your pens & what do they say. Recruit young, I did find yesterday some of my pc address labels on his bbq. I guess if his bbq ever gets lost they will know where it came from!!

I believe I got them from Town & Country back when they were our vendor. Just about out of them. I think Merrill might have them now... Sorry I'm not more help.

They have the Pampered Chef logo, my name, phone # and website on them.

 

[pamperedalf]

Merrill & VIP have pens, but not where you can put your info in!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Oh NO!! I wish I had bought more when I could have!

There are other vendors out there that can do it but they just can't use the logo. I'll have to start looking...

Monopolies suck, don't they?

 

[pamperedalf]

It does suck, I really like town & country. UGH!!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Monopolies suck, don't they?

I thought there was a law against monolopies. Oh wait! The big companies PAY congress to vote so they can make even more of the money and keep it out of the hands of the filthy middle class. Too bad none of the rest of us will have any money to support the CEO's salaries soon. No wait! Our jobs went over seas - THEIR salaries will support the big guys and law makers. Whew! I was worried about them for a minute.

We live in a global economy - Many people in this country work for companies that are based in other countries but we don't seem to mind that. Pampered Chef products are not all made in the USA last I checked. I worked for a company previous to my current job.
The foreign companies were trying to make deals that would take contracts away from our company. If that company (my employer) had not found some way to lower costs then the whole company could have gone under by losing some big contracts. They set up a division in a country that provided lower costs - therefore saving lost of jobs.
It's just reality in this world - People have to find jobs that are not at risk to be outsourced. There is really not such things as job security even as a business owner.
Our job as PC consultant and business owners is important. We provide high touch and we have unlimited opportunity - And we can give that opportunity to others. Few of us willl make Fortune 500 CEO salaries but we have the opportinuty to make as much money as we choose Our Life - Our Way

Wow! I'll refrain from turning you in for violation of the child labor laws

That really is cute. At least it was someone understanding and not a grouch.

 

[thechefofnorthbend]

Amanda! Get him one of my kids cheffer shirts! He'll help you everytime you leave the house!!

 

[pamperedalf]

Darby I thought about it, but I need to watch the money I am spending right now!!Rae I am so lucky it was someone understanding.
