So....quit My Other Part-Time Job Yesterday

[thehaleykitchen]

Hey all -

This may not seem like that big of a deal but I quit my other part-time job yesterday (gave my two-week notice)! Time to gain my weekends back, and my holidays come to think of it (I worked at Toys 'R' Us now for almost four years)!
Looking forward to focusing on Pampered Chef more and really trying to get this off the ground ~ I have been only doing about 2-3 shows a month since I signed up in mid-December. Any suggestions? My family is tapped and so is my neighborhood..

Thanks,
Karen

Karen - first thing, change that thinking! Never make the assumption that someone who you think is tapped, won;t buy or host. When you start to say yes or no for other people about buying or hosting, you can cut off a lot of business. Besides, hosting is the best way of buying for a lot of tapped people! FREE is their favorite word! I know, I have three parties coming up that, if I was thinking like you, I never would have gotten because I know they are tapped. But I make it a rule to never assume! Always keep them in the loop for host specials and guest specials and let them tell you what works for them.

Congratulations on quitting your part-time job and focusing on Pampered Chef! It's always a big step to leave a steady job, but it sounds like you have a plan in place and are excited about the potential for your business. As for suggestions, have you considered expanding your network beyond just your family and neighborhood? Social media can be a great way to reach a wider audience and potentially book more shows. You could also reach out to local businesses or organizations to see if they would be interested in hosting a Pampered Chef event. Another idea is to offer virtual parties for those who may not be able to attend a physical party. Best of luck with your Pampered Chef business! Keep us updated on your progress.
