Frequently Asked Questions
What are outside orders in Pampered Chef?
Outside orders refer to sales that are collected from individuals who are not attending the host's show. These orders can be gathered through various methods, such as online orders, phone calls, or emails, and they contribute to the overall sales total for the show.
How do I collect outside orders for my first show?
To collect outside orders, you can reach out to friends, family, and coworkers before the show date. Share the show details, product catalogs, and any special promotions. You can also set up an online party link for easy ordering and provide clear instructions on how to place orders.
Can outside orders be submitted after the show date?
Yes, outside orders can typically be submitted up to a certain period after the show date, depending on the guidelines set by Pampered Chef. It's important to check with your director or the company’s policies to ensure you submit these orders within the allowed timeframe.
How do outside orders affect the host's rewards?
Outside orders contribute to the total sales for the show, which can increase the host's rewards. The more sales generated from both the show and outside orders, the higher the potential rewards, including discounts, free products, and exclusive offers.
What should I do if I have trouble collecting outside orders?
If you're having trouble collecting outside orders, consider reaching out to your network again with reminders or offering incentives for orders. You can also share product demonstrations or testimonials to spark interest. Engaging with your audience through social media or hosting a virtual party can also help boost orders.
