i been with pampered chef for a year now and i have try call phones. what do you do when you don't have any people to call. I don't have alot of money to take out ads in the newspaper. I have make flyer and left books at places like doctor offices, post office and gas stations. well to many to count. I get some good shows and then when i get a booking they just don't do anything. I am getting sick. I am thinking to quiting, but before i quit i am going to give it couple of months if it don't pick up i am done for good. I have been inactive now for 2 months. I just don't know what else to do. I have posted my web site around. please help me. :confused:
 
Try thisWith the new Spring products now available, why don't you try to have a Mystery Host Open House. Invite all of your past host, and everyone that you know. Give tickets for people coming, bringing guests, purchasing 50 or more, booking a party, etc... then draw a ticket to give the show away. I did this in the Fall and had a great turn out. Good Luck in whatever you choose to do. Kim
 
Have your own show!The best thing you can do is have your own show!
Try to do what bkwrm suggested and invite everyone over. Past hosts, neighbors, friends, family, and encourage them to bring friends. Leave flyers about this special party on doors around your neighborhood and other neighborhoods close by.
Get on the phone and let your fingers do the walking. Do random calls in the phone book and call up businesses. Ask if you can leave catalogs in their office for anyone interested in ordering or having a show. Volunteer to bring a neat PC recipe along with the catalogs and when you come to pick up your dishes you can ask if anyone was interested.
It can get frustrating but don't give up. You just have to find that group of people who either love PC or don't know about PC and will thank you when you introduce them to it.
Keep up the good work and good luck!!
