Bring it up again at her party before you actually do it. Say something like, "Watch what I do. It is so easy to do Pampered Chef and work another full time job. Remember that you work when YOU want and how often YOU want to. YOU make YOUR schedule." I do not remember the exact figure but I think it is over 50% of consultants have a full time job besides doing Pampered Chef. Not to mention that if she is off in the summer, it is a great time to have this opportunity to supplement her income. Then ask her again after her party. Just simply ask if she thinks she could do what you do? Make sure she has info about becoming a consultant and remind her about the kit credit.

I always mention that there are people who do PC as a break from their day jobs.

I do PC around my day/night/evening/weekend job.

It really IS "your life your way." I can work as much or as little as I want.

My current "weekend" show will be closing around $1,700. That's a $400 paycheck for 2 hours of work and of course, a ton of paperwork whenever I can find time for it!

I have a FT teacher on my team. She actually beat me in sales in July. She's on fire with her biz. She loves that she can work it hard in the summer and now during the school year can take it down a notch but still keep it going at her own pace.

Another teammate works 60-70 hr/wk job. She had time concerns before she signed up so I told her to take her calendar for the next month and put all her personal/family obligations on it. Then I told her to see if she had any time left that she'd feel comfortable doing shows. She was very surprised to find 4 different dates in that month---and she signed. She's also one of my best performers on the team.

Find out why she would be interested in the biz. What would she like about it...what does she hope to gain....then let her know how she can do it while still working her FT job. Break her "desire" down into small goals. Maybe 1 show a wk would get her there or 1 show every other week.

I am a full-time teacher and joined almost 6 years ago, to have adult conversation outside of my husband. I wanted to get out and meet people and have fun. As a teacher, my organization skills really make it easy to do this business. I'd be glad to share any tips if she would like.
