Since I'm just hitting my 1-year mark, I don't know if there is a regular schedule for things or not... I'm wondering about Sell-A-Thon. Is it typicaly in November (for Spring products)? I've got a bazillion calls to make to setup shows and I would really like to push for November if so. I didn't earn any Fall products (except the knife and SS pan) so I can't afford to buy all the Spring products too :eek:

TIA!!
 
It used to be in December, but the past 2(?) seasons it has been in Nov.....and also last year, we could earn the Trifle Bowl for 2 shows in Dec...........I would book a good November - and the SA sale will help that.....because a good Nov. is the way to have a good Dec & good Jan!!!!

My director has always coached us to have Jan booked by Thanksgiving.
 
Last year it was in November, but previous years it was in December. Get on the phone and push your bookings for the month you need to fill, first. The bookings from those shows will fill the following months.

I agree with the above advice - fill your calendar as much as you are comfortable and then you can always add people when we know the SAT month for sure (you know, those "squeeze in" bookings :) ).
 
Hi there! Congratulations on hitting your 1-year mark as a Pampered Chef consultant! Sell-A-Thon typically happens in November for the Spring products, so it's definitely a good idea to push for November shows. I understand the struggle of not earning any Fall products, but don't worry, with hard work and determination, you'll be able to earn the Spring products in no time. Best of luck with your upcoming shows! :)
