I am brand new to PC & at my first 5 shows I haven't played a game. I really like the have it/love it, etc. idea, but how do you handle getting the candy or tickets to the person while keeping track of your recipe & talking about the products. I'm thinking that I'd totally lose track of where I'm at. Your tips would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
 
I haven't done it, but I went to a show where the consultant appointed a helper to pass out the tickets/candies/etc.
 
have a bowl on your table and toss it at them
 
Here are some of the files I have......I am attaching them. I hope they help you they definately have helped me. Of course they are not mine but have gotten them all from here and there.

I like the have it/love it game, but I don't use it for winning points. I have been using the Points Game (from one of the above attachments) as the game to win the prize.

I explain that I have been doing this for 2 years now and I have learned that I don't like people to simply sit and watch me - I like people to talk along with me. That is what the have it/love it game is for. I give a bowl of candy to the host and tell everyone that she will be sending a piece of candy their way if they yell out have it/love it. If I find out that I'm in a group who doesn't have a lot of PC then I say anyone who asks a PC-related question will get a peice of candy.
 
I usually throw out hersheys kisses. I dont mind people talking about other products during my demo... so I tell them that if anyone has a product they love, but it cannot be anything I am currently talking about, and they share it out loud, I will throw them a kiss.

Its amazing what women will do for chocolate! Heheh.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I prepare before my first Pampered Chef show?

Before your first show, familiarize yourself with the products you'll be showcasing. Create a checklist of items to bring, including your kit, order forms, and any promotional materials. Practice your presentation and consider setting up a mock show with friends or family to gain confidence.

How can I engage guests during my Pampered Chef show?

Engagement is key to a successful show. Start with an icebreaker to make guests feel comfortable. Encourage participation by asking questions, inviting them to help with demonstrations, and sharing personal stories about the products. Use interactive elements like games or giveaways to keep the energy high.

What are some effective ways to handle objections from guests?

When guests express objections, listen carefully and acknowledge their concerns. Provide clear, honest answers and share testimonials or success stories that address their hesitations. Focus on the benefits of the products and how they can solve specific problems the guests may have.

How do I follow up with guests after the show?

Following up is crucial for building relationships and increasing sales. Send a thank-you message to all attendees, expressing your appreciation for their participation. Include a summary of the products discussed, any special offers, and a reminder of how to place orders. Personalize your follow-up based on individual interactions during the show.

What are some tips for managing my time during a Pampered Chef show?

Time management is essential to keep your show on track. Create a detailed agenda with time allocations for each segment of the show. Practice your presentation to ensure you stay within your time limits. Be flexible and ready to adjust if discussions take longer than expected, but always keep an eye on the clock to ensure you cover all key points.
