Ok ladies, due to an emergency I had to leave conference but one of the consultants in our group just sent me a message and said the Pampered Chef is going Facebook!! She said that we can post stuff and say that we are consultants. She hasn't messaged me back about posting our websites tho. There will be an online training course on the use of FB in regards to PC. You can start using FB for PC stuff July 19th. No more getting ion trouble!
 
OMG, OMG, OMG. I am going to PASS out!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I like them. Officially.Had to welcome them to the 21st century.So this means we don't have to lie anymore?
 
Sweet, just changed my profile. Come on sales!
 
I wonder what the rules will be now? Can we list host specials and guest specials? List our personal websites? Hmmm??
 
It starts on the 19th. Wonder if I'll get in trouble for innocuous status updates last month (readable only by friends.)
 
Canada's Conference is not until August, but I have been enjoying Rae's countdown and the thread about the new products. When I clicked on the link to go to TPC's facebook page, on the left hand side of the page where the legal blurb is, it is noted "a complete copy of our Consultant Facebook policy can be found on Consultant's Corner". Of course, I can't see US's CC and nothing would be on my CC until after our Conference the first weekend in August. It will be interesting to see if new products for Canada is the same as the US's and if the policy & announcements are the same:)

Cheers,
Debbie

Just went in to my profile to change my work info. When I entered The Pampered Chef, their chef hat icon came up automatically!! How exciting....

I was wondering the same thing... I was able to join PC facebook so it should be interesting to see if my friends comment on it.
 
Very cool! Can't wait to get home this afternoon and update my profile!
 
i updated mine and it didn't have a pc hat, did I not do something right
 
OMWord .. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I love it. I have been posting just enough to be legal for a while now. I would put hints up about people hosting a show, but not telling them what I sell. If they want to know I would send them a private message. Thank goodness I don't have to sneak around anymore. lol
 
Excellent news! Make sure to use the correct links, though!
Please note: If you link directly to the Shop
online pages of your personal web site, the link will
expire after 2 hours and any orders placed using that link
will be directed to the lead system through the corporate
website. You should instead link to one of the main pages
of your personal web site since these links are static and
will not expire.
I might get a PWS again.
 
I am so happy! I love facebook and pc! I am so excited!
 
Wahoo! Great news!
 
Very, Very Exciting!!!! YAY!!!! I love pampered Chef! and Facebook!:D
 
There will be trainings in the online training center about social networking!

Ha ha! As if we all don't know how to do that already! Will be fun to take it just to laugh!
 
The training will be on the policies as in what we can and can't do.
 
Not that some couldn't benefit with some ettiquette brush-ups.

I got that several weeks ago. If your phone number is listed on your profile, it is visible to anyone who is your friend. I have never posted mine there and don't plan on it now. There is people I am friends with through the Weight Watchers fan page that I definitely don't want to have my phone number!

Thanks Scott! I have shared this and a lot of my friends were concerned. But a surprising number have not put their numbers on their contact info in the first place.

I haven't decided to remove mine...it's a cell number, and I am very good at not answering it...I do have it as friends only...

thanks again
Marghi
