Well, I went inactive after I had my daughter 3 months ago and I am getting it all back together now. I scheduled my own party for this weekend. We will be moving at the end of the month, so I am advertising it as my last show and inviting all old guests, old hosts (not very many though) and just about anybody I can think of. I ran into a neighbor I have never spoken to before and invited her and she was telling me how she loved Pampered Chef but couldn't afford a lot with 4 kids. So I told her oh I know what you mean , kids are expensive, that's why I am a consultant. And she was very interested and said she had thought about it before but didn't think she had the time. I told her that I understood that too and that's why I just do a show or two a month. So she seemed very interested and I am pretty sure she will be coming on Saturday. What do I do! She said she enjoys cooking! So maybe I should just tell her more? I just don't want to be pushy because I can tell she is just not one of those people who would react well to pushiness, she would probably just try to avoid me for the rest of the month until we leave! What are some suggestions?
 
Give her a call to check in. Give her a catalog now and an opportunity brochure if you have one. Don't give her too much!!!!

Tell her to watch what you do at your show and for her to jot down any questions she might have. Then afterwards, SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET WITH HER and talk about it. Do LOTS of listening and very little talking. Have a contract ready.

Good luck!!
 
It's great to hear that you're getting back into the swing of things after having your daughter! Congrats on scheduling your own party and using it as an opportunity to reconnect with old guests and hosts. It sounds like you also made a great connection with your neighbor and it's exciting that she's interested in Pampered Chef.My suggestion would be to continue being open and friendly with your neighbor. You could mention that you noticed she loves cooking and that Pampered Chef is a great way to save money on kitchen tools and cookware while still enjoying the best quality. You could also share your own experience with balancing being a consultant with being a busy mom. Let her know that you completely understand if she's not interested, but that you wanted to offer her the opportunity in case she's ever thought about it.It's important to not be pushy and to respect her boundaries, so if she seems hesitant or not interested, don't push the issue. You could also offer to give her some information about becoming a consultant and let her know that she can reach out to you if she ever changes her mind.Good luck with your party and with your move!
