Hi everyone!!

First I would like to say how much I LOVE this whole site! You all do an amazing job!!

Well I am a PC newbie and I had my first show tonight, and I had so MUCH FUN!! It was great!

I do have a question though... I used to sell Taste of Home products and they had a hostess benefit that if someone booked a party at that hostesses party the hostess got an additional item at 1/2 off. Does PC do this? I don't think so, but I wanted to make sure. I think they do the 6 month hostess benefits instead... which is so much more awesome!

Also, is the best way to get the cookware set to use a hostess half price combination if there is one left?

Thanks so much for your time and help!! I'm so excited to be a part of this wonderful team!!! I might have more questions soon... as I got four bookings from this party, wow. God is good!!

Oh one more is it correct that after I submit the party on PC3 they go ahead and start the packing/shipping process but the money doesn't come out of my checking account for 7 days?
Thanks!!

The booking benefit is whatever the host special is for the month the booked show is held. So if Shannon books off of Tina's show, when Shannon holds her show, Tina gets to choose one of the host specials for the month of Shannon's show. This has to be within 6 months of Tina's show.

The "best" way to get the cookware is up to the customer. The most likely way to receive the cookware at the largest discount is to choose it as a 1/2 price item, especially using a 1/2 price combo, page 53 in the catalog. Of course, there are months when a host can get the cookware for 60% off because it's a host special, like last September or this past February. It's also possible for hosts to earn some of it for free with a huge show.

Once you submit a show, I've found that it takes about 10 days for home office to deduct the funds from my bank account. As far as I know, there is no guarantee on that, so I always make sure I have enough money in there before I submit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do to prepare for my first Pampered Chef show?

To prepare for your first Pampered Chef show, start by familiarizing yourself with the products you’ll be showcasing. Create a guest list and send out invitations, either digitally or through traditional mail. Plan your menu and recipes, ensuring you have all the necessary ingredients and tools. Practice your presentation and product demonstrations to build confidence. Lastly, set up your display area to be inviting and organized.

How can I effectively promote my first show?

Promoting your first show can be done through various channels. Utilize social media platforms to share your event details and create excitement. Consider hosting a Facebook event or a live cooking demonstration online. Personal invitations to friends and family can also be effective. Encourage guests to bring friends and offer incentives, such as a raffle or a special discount on their orders, to boost attendance.

What types of products should I focus on during my first show?

During your first show, focus on popular and versatile products that are easy to demonstrate. Items like the Classic Batter Bowl, Stoneware, and the Food Chopper are great choices. Highlight products that solve common cooking challenges and showcase their benefits. Additionally, consider featuring seasonal items or new releases to capture your guests' interest.

How do I handle questions from guests during the show?

Handling questions from guests is an important part of your presentation. Encourage questions throughout the show and respond positively to all inquiries. If you don’t know the answer, it’s okay to admit it and offer to find out later. Engaging with your guests by asking them questions can also create a more interactive experience and help build rapport.

What results can I expect from my first show?

Results from your first show can vary, but many new consultants see a mix of sales, bookings for future shows, and new recruits. Aim for a goal in terms of sales, such as reaching a certain dollar amount or number of orders. Additionally, the experience you gain and the connections you make can lead to future opportunities. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and use feedback to improve for your next show.
