What are the rules on having another business and PC? Or handing out multiple flyers while working with PC?
 
You are not supposed to sell products from PC and another company at a cooking show. And when you promote to Director, you cannot be affiliated with any other companies. It's spelled out in the policies and procedures document (available on Consusltant's Corner).

What if the other "business" is a non-profit organization? Basically a moms support group?
 
I think that's OK - it's other direct-selling that we aren't supposed to do.

I tried to find where it said that, but I couldn't. Can you point me in the direction? Or should I call HO?
 
OK- I didn't see it in the policies either, but I know I read it someplace. There's some in clause 10 on the kit agreement.
Maybe the other part is in the Director guide?

I think I might have to call them and ask. I didn't think that it would have been a BAD thing to do? I mean all mommies need extra income and Pampered Chef product right? ;) I would have thought they would have went hand in hand?
 
I think your Moms group is fine. We're just not supposed to sell for other direct sales companies. If you aren't affiliated with one of those other companies, you're probably fine.

Yeah, it has NOTHING to do with selling. It is a FREE support group for Moms. :) Thanks Ann!
