As one of the last steps for Pampered Partner, it asks for which month you are submitting the show. I guess I'm confused...aren't shows submitted for the month they are held? :confused: For example, even though I submitted the show today, in September, don't I have to submit for August for those guest specials? I know the Sept submit doesn't count toward my August sales, but I was assuming the show was still for August. Should I have chosen Sept instead? Would that have changed anything...

Very confused,
Sandy

Never mind...Found out my own answer...lol. :D
 
What did you find out, Sandy? This is something I've been curious about, too.
 
When transmitting your shows, always choose the month in which the show was held where it asks "Submitted for the month of" area. That way, if you held a show in August, but are not submitting it until September, the company knows which month's specials should apply. This makes a difference when there is a promotion, for example, to earn something free if there are two shows HELD and SUBMITTED in the same month. Hope this is clear :)

Hmmm...The way I understand it, the "month submitted for" does NOT go to the company, at all. The date of the show will and that will let PC know about the specials. The "month submitted for" box is not transmitted and is for our info only...and it's purpose it to help keep your monthly sales diary straight. For example...I held a show AUG 23 and submitted it Sep 3. I should have submited it with "submit show for Sept". The show date lets the company know it was an Aug show. The Sept submit month lets PP know to put it under my September sales diary. You can go back, if you've done this wrong (like I did) and change the submit month...just don't re-transmit.

Isn't it amazing what you can find out when you read the directions? lol at myself... :o

Hope this helps,
Sandy
 
That makes sense, Sandy. I guess the only date that would matter to the company would be your show date. I guess I always assumed that the company uses this information to determine which specials to use, but that would be clear by the date you set the show (duh).

Thanks for setting us all straight... :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pampered Partner and how does it relate to submitting sales?

Pampered Partner is the online system used by Pampered Chef consultants to manage their sales, track orders, and submit monthly sales reports. It is essential for consultants to submit their sales accurately to ensure they receive credit for their work and commissions for the month.

Why is there confusion about which month to submit sales for?

Confusion often arises because consultants may have sales that span across different months, especially if they host parties at the end of one month that continue into the next. Additionally, deadlines for submitting sales can vary, leading to uncertainty about which sales should be reported for each month.

How can I determine which sales should be submitted for a specific month?

To determine which sales to submit for a specific month, consultants should refer to the order dates. Only sales that are finalized and processed within the designated month should be included in that month's submission. It's also helpful to keep track of party dates and when orders are placed.

What happens if I submit sales for the wrong month?

If sales are submitted for the wrong month, it can lead to discrepancies in commission calculations and may affect your overall sales performance. If you realize a mistake has been made, it's important to contact Pampered Chef support as soon as possible to rectify the situation.

Are there any tips to avoid confusion when submitting sales?

To avoid confusion, consultants should maintain organized records of their parties and sales, use a calendar to track submission deadlines, and regularly check their Pampered Partner account for updates. Additionally, consulting with team leaders or using available resources can provide clarity on the submission process.
