New to Pampered Chef: Booking Ideas for Your Business

[daricsmom]

I am new to Pampered Chef and I want to send an email out to try to get some bookings and let everyone know about my new buisness, does anybody have any ideas??

I found that phone calls work best - the people you talk too will be able to hear the excitement in your voice. I was very nervous about making those first booking calls, so my director told me to say:

"Hi <name>! I am so excited - I started my own Pampered Chef business. I would be honored to have you as one of my first hosts!" I got 7 bookings this way - not a one from family (they do not live local) and one from my health insurance agent.

Welcome to the family, and good luck!

Here's some I found that I had. I never used them but you could fill in the blanks and use them in their entirety or just use it as a guideline and shorten them up. Hope they help some and welcome to PC!

I agree with Susan, phone calls are the BEST way to get the word out.

Emails aren't always read by everyone.

You should host a Kick-off show of your own and invite EVERYONE you know!! This will help everyone know what you are doing now and help you out with sales and bookings in your first 90 days.

Check under the bookings forum. There are SO many good ideas on here.

Welcome to PC and CS!!! Best of luck!!!

I agree with Chris and Susan 100%! phone calls work best! Emails cannot portray your excitement and sincerity, and a phone call is like a hand written note...it means so much more than an email!

Welcome and best of luck on your first shows!

Set a date for your own kick-off show first. You are going to want to invite everyone to that, so this way you only need to call people once. Tell them how excited you are, see if they would like to be one of your special "charter" hosts. Then if they say they don't want to host, or can't or whatever, you can tell them about your kick-off show and say you'd love to have them come. For your family and close friends, you can tell them that it's your first show and you need people to practice on and could use their feedback. Having close friends and family will be a more comfortable group to do your first show on.

Good luck and welcome to PC and CS!
