Today Is My First Cooking Show in Almost a Year and a Half!!

[ChefJoyJ]

I started out strong with PC, then due to family illnesses, deaths, rough pregnancy, and having a baby, I had to put it on the back burner for quite some time. I have my first live show today. I'm super excited...but nervous, b/c I don't remember everything and I tried to cram product tips/info. Then I decided that they are there to have fun, help (and learn) easy and delicious recipes, and shop...not to be bombarded with technical info. I am planning on letting the products sell themselves, or the guests share their testimonials. I'm praying that goes well...

Any tips for me? I'd love to hear what you do to make your shows successful...

I'd use the show as a recruiting opportunity. Let your guests know how flexible PC can be. It's nice to have a job that is so flexible with life changes. I'd let guests help read the recipe for you, help with tools, etc. It will releave some of the pressure you may be feeling. Have fun!!

Joy, your best show was $1578 - that's spectacular. What did you do at that show? Obviously, it worked.

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on getting back into Pampered Chef and having your first live show today. It's completely understandable that life got in the way and you had to put it on hold for a while. But now you're back and ready to rock it! My best tip for you is to remember that the most important thing is to have fun and connect with your guests. Don't stress too much about technical information, as you mentioned, your guests are there to have a good time and learn some delicious recipes. Let the products speak for themselves and allow your guests to share their own experiences and testimonials. This will make the show more interactive and engaging for everyone.Another tip is to be yourself and be genuine. Your guests will appreciate your authenticity and passion for the products. Share your personal favorite products and recipes, and don't be afraid to have some fun and be creative with them.Lastly, don't forget to follow up with your guests after the show. This is a great opportunity to thank them for attending and offer any additional support or product information they may need.I wish you all the best for your show today and hope it's a huge success! Keep up the great work as a Pampered Chef consultant.
