I have somebody who wants to do Pampered Chef; however, feels strange going into people's homes that she doesn't know.

Has anybody ever had this objection?

BTW, her Taco ring came out better than mine at her party!!

Thanks, Jane
 
Meet and GreetLet your prospect know that she gets to run this business however she wants! She can host-coach in person to get to know the host, so she doesn't feel like an "alien" when she goes for the show. And more often than not, she will have met the new host at a previous show. So while entering someone else's house can be awkward, it's not like she's forcing herself in; she was invited!

Another option (if she's comfortable with it) is to do shows in her house. I have a re-host (hosted multiple times) whose apartment living room seems smaller than my cubicle at my FTJ. So, we do her shows at MY house! Saves me a lot of work!

HTH!

CONGRATS, BTW!!! I just got this one the other night! ChefMommyinOC is right. If someone gives you the creeps, you don't have to go. Try to find out why she feels strange and answer that objection. Does she feel strange because she is afraid to damage something? Or because she's bad with directions? Or because she's not comfortable with strangers? Help her come up with ways to overcome the issue.
