Thanks so much for sharing this. It has so much great info. I am So bad about taking too much with me... and I'm trying to change so this is especially helpful.

Oh my. I'll have to find this later and read it. I always, always take too much stuff. Tuesday night I took the App. Plates and Caddy set, 2 trifle bowls (one full of decorations), rectangle platter, small bowls and caddy, 9x13 baker with brownie in it, small batter bowl with layered brownie mix (sold two), classic batter bowl filled with baking stuff (from the mini catalog, sold two), SA small square plate, oven mits, placemat and napkin and napkin holder, large round stone with handles, cutting board (sold at least twp), FC 3 1/2" paring knife, measure-all, two 8" saute pans, EAD (used it and sold two), RUFTH trivet (sold two to one lady), four host packets (12 catalogs just with those), 15 catalogs and order forms, all the cookbooks and my laptop. I knew it was bad, but after typing all of this, I absolutely can't believe I did that! One December booking and one November booking. Only came home with 3 order forms, and 9 catalogs, and two host packets (with 6 catalogs). It was still ridiculous on the way out. I had three helpers getting the stuff to the car.

Wow! Powerful stuff!

I especially like where she said magazines are for entertainment...we are not in the entertainment business! I am weak when it comes to asking for contact info, but I am actively changing that...gets easier each time I do it!

 

[JAE]

I ask for phone numbers because it never fails that something is wrong with an order, and I don't have the person's number and I can't get ahold of the host. That is what I tell the guest/customer. It's the truth. I really don't want to call people who don't want to be called, but sometimes I have to call them.

I understand, this is my biggest struggle, is not taking to much stuff! After 8 1/2 years, I still struggle with this!

The doc that is shared here is really great but I do have to make one comment.

We do not get a PAYCHECK! That wording is NOT from Home Office. They make a big point at new director training and director training days and other venues where HO people are doing the training that we cannot call our commission checks payckecks. Paycheck implies that we are employees and we are not. We are independent contractors.

We are not to say we are offering someone a job either - we are offering them a business opportunity.

We are not to say we earn $___ per hour. We earn a commission on the sales we make. Saying we earn per hour implies employment. You must refer to this as I make ___% of sales so at Mary's show which was $___ in sales I made $____ . I put about 4-5 hours into the show so you can see we are well compensated!

These examples are some of the things that we need to be careful about when sharing information about the business. They are all rules of the DSA of which Pampered Chef is a member.

[edit: This post was in no way meant to put down the person who posted the thread and the file! I am just stating information that is important for all of us to know. I plan to use a modified version of the file. THANKS for posting.]

Thanks so much for sharing the flyer! I love it.

What does she make for the Easy Weeknight Meals? Does she have the recipe already prepared or prepares at the show?

 

[baychef]

I know I need to pare down also. Between age, weight and lugging too much, I am feeling it and I want to keep doing this business for years to come! Thanks for sharing. I love it and will share with my team!

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Thanks for this information, I'm going to try and read it over tonight as I don't have a show. I'm a 5 trip back and forth to the car person, so this will probably help me allot.
