ChefCKHall said:I have disliked the page......disappointed and do not want my clients there AT ALL.
Definitely not what it was meant to be.
I will just post my link on my FB page, my hostesses event pages...and keep it simple.

I left an email on the facebook page for a specific person to contact me (totally spaced using a PM to her) and I got an email from HO about not self-promoting, so they are watching it. If we all just think about the ahaas that PC is with us- like yummy recipes, etc. we should all be good.
Um...WOW! :grumpy: I am the one who said I found the new three boring, and I meant in the way the were presented in comparison to the previous courses, which I found more engaging (not that I should have to defend myself for how I feel about them.) You should really think twice before you go around bashing other people for expressing an opinion. I personally have completed all three courses, passed the quizzes, and never claimed to know everything so please be careful before you start judging others.ETA - I responded to your response in the text box - its a little presumptuous to assume that I wasn't paying attention to a course because of a comment I made, but I guess unpopular opinions are unwelcome. And if you are referring to me as one of the "newer people" please know that I started with Pampered Chef in 2003, became a Director in 2005, and quit in 2008 because of a divorce and came back a year later. So I'm no fresh fish in the PC game.pcchefjane said:Noticed in the Chat Box that someone commented the "online courses are boring"! Yeah well...if you "think you know everything" they probably would be.
I thought they were boring for the exact same reason. In fact, I pulled up my free cell game, and played that while I was listening, and then I checked my email, and then checked my facebook page....I learn better if I have something else to do besides just listen to a recording - if I hadn't been doing those things I would have completely zoned out.Thanks for posting on the FB Page Keith - I started to, and then thought that I didn't even want to go there, but I'm glad you did. I actually thought about unfriending the page, but haven't yet.leftymac said:I said they were boring too. Boring doesn't imply that you know everything. Glad some "older people" in the business think they know more than others, too. Some people aren't auditory learners and have difficulties just listening to a recorded speech. That's why I said they were boring to me.

In my opinion 99% of the posts thus far should and can be deleted by the moderator. If a CUSTOMER has a question and no consultant they should be able to post and receive a response from HO not 20 different consultants begging for business. There is no need for CONSULTANTS to post "yay, excited for a FB page"... "loved this recipe"... etc" Obviously they have no concept of FB pages, especially for businesses. :grumpy:
Just to clarify - any mention of the training being boring has been made in the chatbox and threads on this site, NOT on the FB page.AND - there have been customers on the FB page, but as soon as they post, they are jumped on by several consultants salivating all over them.esavvymom said:To me, that sort of seemed like what PC wanted....POSITIVE feedback about Pampered Chef- but not business-bragging or shoving PC in folks face. The "tried a new recipe and LOVED it!" sort of thing was exactly the sort of thing they expected. They didn't want to see negative things about the company or issues you might be having as consultants, etc- BECAUSE it is customer facing. I think that's why some of the comments have been made...like about the training being boring. It probably IS boring...I think most of them are! But I don't know that I'd post it where customers would see it- and potential recruits. We tell them they get great training from PC, and we do....but then say it's boring. (Just using THAT one as an example- not singling out or anything....this would apply if anyone was commenting on FB about a return issue or something.) We just have to be mindful of that. It would be like talking in front of your 4 yr old. You tell your child they can't say certain words or act a certain way, but then when they are around- we do that very thing. Something most parents probably wouldn't do, right?Personally, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that of the 36000+ fans - MOST of them are consultants anyway! Especially if a customer sees what is being discussed on the page/wall. I'd find the REGULAR PamperedChef.com site to have more information of value to me (recipes, tips, etc). I don't see any of that sort of thing on the FB page (yet). Just my humble opinion. I'd see more value to a consultant with their OWN FB page....not corporates (other than being able to link to the specials or something maybe).As always, I think it's "CYOA" (cover your OWN A**).

esavvymom said:I've glanced at the FB page a few times- so hard to keep up. Anything on here- even though we know a few people are on here checking out the company BEFORE they sign- I think it's a 'safe zone'.
pamperedmom24 said:This isn't just a problem with PC, I am a fan of another DS company on FB and saw our worst fears as consultants come up. The company posted a status and a potential customer asked a general question about the product. Within an hour there were 67 comments from consultants "offering" their services!!! On top of that the customer wrote that they were completely turned off by this, their phone kept alerting them for an hour from people all over the US to buy from them and they recieved over 30 private messages for the person to contact them. This customer said they were now no longer interested in the product and very irritated, whats worse, people didn't read the post and there were numerous posts after her post of consultants still trying to "sell" to her. It really upset me to read this, it gives us all a bad name.
I "liked" PC on FB but after reading all the self-promotion posts, I'm irritated. As a consultant I love the idea of the PC page, but for now it is ruined...the moderator needs to delete the posts that are in violation not just notify the offender. The whole page is a swamp right now
esavvymom said:Given the response on FB (#s), hopefully they are adding more moderators. If they only have the one, they are seriously understaffed for the job! That poor lady got more than she probably bargained for!
Di_Can_Cook said:Posting pretty much blind ... didn't they address this in the PC Newswire and say that self-promoting posts on the wall would be deleted?
I pretty much stayed off Facebook until late evening.

The issue is that it can become overwhelming for members of the group who are not consultants themselves. It can also make it difficult to find relevant information or posts from other members.
H2: Why is there a high number of consultants on the Pampered Chef Facebook page?The Facebook page is a popular platform for consultants to promote their businesses and reach a larger audience. It is also a way for them to connect with other consultants and share tips and advice.
H2: Are all of the posts on the Pampered Chef Facebook page from consultants?No, not all posts on the page are from consultants. The page is open to anyone who is a fan of Pampered Chef and wants to share their experiences, recipes, or ask questions about the products.
H2: Is there a limit to the number of consultants allowed in the Pampered Chef Facebook group?No, there is no limit to the number of consultants allowed in the group. However, it is important for consultants to be respectful and not overly promote themselves in order to maintain the group's focus on Pampered Chef products and experiences.
H2: What can be done to address the issue of too many consultants on the Pampered Chef Facebook page?If you feel that the number of consultant posts is becoming overwhelming, you can reach out to the group moderators or administrators. They can remind members of the group's guidelines and ensure that the page remains focused on the Pampered Chef brand and products.
