Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in product discussions, rewards, and community experiences related to new Pampered Chef items may find this thread engaging.

Super Starter ProgramHere is the info from Ann-
The new super starter kit includes the UM and lots of new products ($155)
comes with premade hostess packets
The new super starter program has "pick your own products" with $100 in PC dollars earned instead of product packagesAll agreements submitted 1/22 and beyond qualify

Once you pay shipping and tax for these products with the PC Dollars, you don't really have $100! I think it might be harder to get the new consultants motivated to earn the bonuses compared to what they have now.
 
Ok, I just got off of work and what is the TRIP??
 
My info from Ann is on the page 2 spoiler thread!
 
Thanks gillian......:)

Just signing a few days ago... I am glad that I will be eligible for the Super Starter Packs.... I agree that the $100 may now seem like as much after tax and shipping... Just a thought!! :)

And the product value you earned in the old SS was more than $100 with no tax and shipping to be paid until the 1099 comes in. They were around $150 or more each bonus.

This is reducing what they get and having them pay more!

I think it would be nice to have a "Basic" kit (at the $90 price) and a "Deluxe" kit for you to choose from. I think that's what they have in Canada, and maybe Great Britain too??? Alot of DS companies have more than one kit to choose from - that would be nice for us too! It would help too for those recruits who are PC lovers and already have most of what is in the kit we have now!

Send this to PC!!!!

They don't. I made them for the holidays and a few extra. I had to explain
to my DH not to eat all of one shape. He said "they are all the same!"
So; they don't see it unless it is shown to them!

That is absolute a great idea. I know some of my friends in Maine that I talked to about coming aboard will not be able to afford the $155.00 now even with all the benefits. The $90.00 just SOUNDS more appealing to the people that are low on money and looking for a way for this to be the way they start their own business. $155.00 could be almost a whole pay check for some when they get started and that is just not feasible. 2 kits would be great. Everyone likes a choice!!! I third that motion....LOL
 
There's no kit choice here!

Me 4! We should all voice our concerns, HO does listen!
 
WOW The kit is being uped in price to $155!!! WOAH Am I glad I signed a long time ago! This is going to make it DIFFICULT to sign some more people!!!!! Yea I think we should petition If someone voulenteers to make something in word & we can all Give our Name & location & whatever else for someone to send to HO!! Thats CRAZY!!! Alot of the people I signed were single or needed extra income & 155 is too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think that $155 is a bit high but if you think to all of the NEW products that they are adding I think it is great! Plus if you compare to some DS companies we are still cheaper. I know for a fact that Premier Designs Jewelry is over $1500.00!!!!!!! If someone truly wants to go into business for themselves then $155 is still very reasonable!
 
I think it is high too. Maybe this will encourage them to host a show first and use the Kit Credit to offset it. I wonder if the Kit Credit will go up or stay the same?

They will still have the $100 PC Dollars added into the income on the 1099 just like the $150 value was added in before, so that will make this even less appealing!
 
I know, I would have never hosted a show first. I was a home body. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I wanted my kit all to myself, read everything myself, think about everything myself. Pushing people to host a show in order to start a business is taking away the "choice" and "at your own pace" attitude which is sooo great about PC!!

They will be taxed twice now, when they order with PC Bucks AND with their 1099. With the Bonus we are only taxed with 1099s not when they were sent out.
 
I don't mean pushing ... I just mean...some people love making the decision on their own. I know kit napping is always an issue.....so hosting a show would be better....but I just feel bad for the people who want to do this and are overcoming fears or some other issues...
 
I want to know exactly what tools are in the new kit. Has anyone seen anything on that?
 
I look at it this way, If you are thinking about going into the business then why not host a show and get a discount on the kit? That host doesn't do anything different than any other host. They still can read their kit in private at their own pace when it comes in. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by having to overcome fears...When I have a host who is contemplating the opportunity I just tell her to keep the fact that she can apply some FPV toward the kit in mind, I don't say anything else about it until after the show. That is a non-pushy way to do it. (sorry for stealing the thread!)
 
From todays Weekly Bites:
PHP: 
Earlier today, you received an e-mail announcing an exciting new approach to getting new Consultants off to a successful start.
I did not get this email earlier today that they are talking about. Did any of you?
 
Are we jumping to conclusions?

We do not know all the details concerning the use of PC bucks for SS incentives. There may not be tax and shipping charged, or it may be a flat rate. The company may provide a discount on the items a SS purchases with their PC bucks. There are a lot of details not released yet.

I just emailed it to you!!
 
I just emailed HO to let them know how I feel about the chioce of two kits. I know that I wouldn't have signed if it had been $155! I would have gone with a less expansive ds company. I also ahve 3 potentials that I do not believe are going to sign now. One was going to for extra money because they don't have alot and the othertwo are college students so I know they don't have the extra. It is not as appealing to me anyway. Now if you were to give me a choice, that would be a lot more appealing to me!

See if they can sign before Jan 22nd. They can still get it for the $90 then.

A lot of DS companies have starter kits around this amount, or they look lower but you have to jump through hoops to not pay more... I think 155 will weed out the people that aren't serious- plus you will be getting was it 4 or 500 worth of product/ supplies for that amount. The premade host packets themselves save you on ink/time when you are starting. We need to be enthusiastic about the new kit and not dweal on the old. I easily spent more than 60 on ordering the products that will now be included in this kit. Plus, I really don't like the crate...
Plus it would be difficult to break up the paper work into a cheaper kit so essentially you would be getting less product to start with... therefore you would end up spending more to get the other products. Not everyone is going to be happy, but then again we aren't in charge of the company and don't see how many kit snatchers are out there and I bet this is a big reason too.
 
So, I just thought about something,
I have all the oppertunity brouchures and they say $90.00. So if it starts on Jan 22nd, this is before the change over, we have to get all new paperwork on that issue along with the back of the catalog, shows something other than what they will get.
I don't think they thought this out well enough.
Maybe they should be starting it after March 1st to avoid hassles.
AAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH!
