Who May Find This Useful

Consultants who are unable to attend the Spring 2014 Feast may find this thread useful for understanding the sentiments and experiences of those who did attend, as well as the ongoing discussions about new products and discontinuations.

I was just on Consultant Corner (it is now February 9) and still no Spring Launch update. I don't know how long it has been there, but I read in the lower right window that there is a new double burner grill pan and garden tools (I haven't read all the posts so maybe someone else already mentioned those)
 
I hope everyone enjoyed their Launch today. Did anyone not get to go because of the weather? This has been the craziest weather here in Oklahoma. We got 2-3 inches of snow Friday afternoon and evening. Roads were slick and there were several wrecks in our area. Today, warmer and the snow and ice melted off the roads. More winter mix coming in tomorrow.

The info is supposed to be up by tomorrow.

This post lists all the products and specials announced. Some folks listed the discontinued items on page 6 of this thread I think.Consultants Corner is SUPPOSED to have the info starting on the 10th. But I think from years past, it wasn't first thing- that's for sure! I think by mid-day/noon timeframe, you started seeing the info. But hopefully they are prompt! There should be several videos that you would want to watch as well...product videos and a few with training tips for both new products, and for the RockCrok.

Just be careful not to sabotage your February business. I think that's usually the caution about posting too early. Obviously getting your March hosts excited is desired, but you don't want folks to wait to buy and kill February.

I think the official description is "oil-brushed bronze" to go with the current trend in kitchens right now ....so not a flat black like before.
 
where on consultants corner do they post new products and when can we order the new samples?

For old CC site- go to the Managing your Business Tab, then Samples/Supplies (last one in the list). Select "Learn More" under the Samples...From there, you can see where to go. If you are using P3- you can create a Sample Order (non-commission), to place the order (and get a receipt tracked). I'm happy to see that they have them as INDIVIDUAL ORDER items, versus the packages!! YEAH!I think in Beta- you go to the Shopping Cart in the upper right corner - for consultants. But I'm not using that system for orders/shows yet, so not sure if it is showing up (saw someone in the Chatbox was having trouble with it )
 
Looking for honest opinions of the new products. I was unable to attend launch and can honestly say I am disappointed with the pictures I see of the products. Would love input from those who were able to attend their launch as to their impressions of the products first hand.
 
Mary Pat's testimony proves the new lead system does not work. If someone had to try 4 times and still not get a reply that they want to sign up there is a problem with the system.

I was skeptical, but the garden tools ARE very nice, if that is something you are into (gardening). But as far as tools go, they feel very nice and have great features/benefits. They compare in cost to other quality tools I have seen in catalogs recently.I love and want the Bamboo charging station and the tablet easel. Like our bamboo, they just feel very nice as well as are very attractive pieces. I also really want the car organizer. The Double-Grill pan is VERY nice...just like the current pan. But I have to decide if I can justify the cost (even at 50% right now).
 
Consultant's Corner now has several of the product videos and Flyers online from Launch.

Found it! On Beta, it is under Training & Resources, then Product Training. (on original CC, it is under Products & Recipes, then Product Marketing
http://new.pamperedchef.com/cc/seasons-of-success-videos (this is the new product video page)


There are other videos in that area too...but this has the new products.
  • Product Training Videos,
  • Gardening Tools (flyer and videos),
  • On the Go (flyer also),
  • Product Training (has the product guide),
  • Seasons of Success (new products for the season)

You watch, they will send out an email within the hour now that we went looking for it!
 
There are a lot of flyers circulating around claiming that the pink "on the go" collection is discontinued. The pink ones are in the new catalog beside the gray.

A couple of them are "RESTYLED"...which I agree...should NOT be on a discontinued flyer because it's not honest (IMHO). Especially since the new product is essentially BETTER than the old.
 
I don't understand the difference between the old one and the new one. Other than it being available in a different color, of course.
 
They are now leak proof!!!
 
For those of you who saw the Bamboo Tablet Stand, will it actually hold a thick cookbook and not just the spiral PC ones? I am contemplating getting one so just curious.
 
1" space when bottom tabs are up. Just measured.

Wow - thanks for the quick answer!! Very helpful.
 
Anyone know what the new product is we're suppose to get for the Rock Your Team Challenge???
 
I received mine yesterday and it is beautiful! I may have to have several of them! Made extremely nice and should easily hold a full size cookbook! I can even see having one in my office to hold my receipts as I enter my orders plus I a few pictures and have lost the back to make them stand up... Ya! It is perfect for that too! You could even use them to display the special at shows or events! LOVE IT!
