when sending out email to all my customers, if I send it all out bcc,
dose that make it private... so when they open it they will not be able to see everyones email???

I tried it this way and sent it to myself and a few times everything was blocked out, and then the others I could see all the info..

Really I don't know how to send them out I guess.... how do you all send them out.. I could send it to everyone personally but that would take forever.

Thanks :)
 
BCC is the way to go. No one will see anyone else's email address that way.
 
When you are sending it to yourself, you can see the info, because you are the one that sent it, your email service must be recognizing that.
 
Too CC is different than BCC so need to make sure you put them in the BCC area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I feel embarrassed about asking a question in my Pampered Chef group?

It's completely normal to feel hesitant about asking questions, but remember that everyone was a beginner at some point. Most people in your group will appreciate your willingness to learn, and your question might help others who are too shy to ask. Just be honest and open; you'll likely receive supportive responses.

How can I overcome the fear of asking "stupid" questions in direct sales?

To overcome this fear, remind yourself that there are no stupid questions when it comes to learning. Try to frame your question in a way that shows your eagerness to understand. You can also reach out to a mentor or a trusted colleague privately if you're more comfortable that way.

Is it common for new consultants to feel insecure about their questions?

Yes, it's very common for new consultants to feel insecure about their questions. Many people in direct sales experience the same feelings when starting out. Remember, asking questions is a vital part of your growth and success in the business.

What resources can I use to find answers instead of asking questions?

There are several resources you can utilize, such as the Pampered Chef website, training materials, and social media groups dedicated to consultants. Additionally, you can watch tutorial videos or read FAQs to find the information you need.

How can I encourage others in my team to ask questions without feeling judged?

Foster an open and supportive environment by sharing your own questions and experiences. Encourage team members to ask anything, and remind them that every question contributes to collective learning. Celebrate the questions asked, and create a culture where curiosity is valued.
