milkangel.. aren't you about to have your baby any day?? Send an e-mail to all your past hosts and guests and tell them that since you will be out of commission for a short while.. you are looking for people to help you out and have catalog parties.. Offer them something or not.. January's specials are awesome on their own.
Then relax and get some rest for the big event. You deserve a little time off.. and if you can get a few catalog parties lined up.. you are set up. Also, if you must do something.. pick a few businesses and contact them and pamper a business. Places like beauty salons are great places to pamper.... quickly a school before they are out for the holidays.. Good luck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to need more bookings to stay active in Pampered Chef?
In Pampered Chef, staying active typically means maintaining a certain level of sales or bookings within a specific time frame. If you need more bookings to stay active, it indicates that you haven't met the required number of parties or sales to keep your consultant status in good standing.
How many bookings do I need to stay active in Pampered Chef?
The number of bookings required to stay active can vary based on your specific status and the guidelines set by Pampered Chef. Generally, consultants need to have at least one party or a certain amount of sales within a rolling three-month period to maintain their active status.
What are some effective strategies to get more bookings?
To increase your bookings, consider hosting a launch party, reaching out to past hosts, offering promotions or incentives for new bookings, utilizing social media to showcase your products, and networking within your community. Building relationships and providing excellent customer service can also encourage repeat bookings.
Can I still sell products if I am not active?
If you are not active, you may not be able to earn commissions or receive certain benefits associated with being an active consultant. However, you can still sell products; you just won’t have access to the same level of support and resources that active consultants enjoy.
What should I do if I am struggling to get bookings?
If you're struggling to get bookings, consider reaching out to your upline or mentor for support and advice. They can provide tips and strategies tailored to your situation. Additionally, attending training sessions, participating in team meetings, and seeking feedback from previous hosts can help you improve your booking techniques.
