I've got a ?? for you Cheryl.............




What's the Top 10 Game you're talking about??

Also, do you have a new Queen of the Shoppers Game for New Catalog??

Thanks

Lisa

Some brilliant person here did up a Queen of the shoppers game for fall. I use that usually for about a month, I personally think it is hokey, but effective. So I play. I then do a similar thing for my top ten. I just have them search for those, no poem required and talk about features and benefits etc. I include what my hostesses get in my top ten because to me that is reflective of what is popular. I do sell 4-6 DCB at every show. Usually 1 12" skillet full price too, not so much lately, but I will focus more on that because I love that piece.
Basically, I am NOT a gadgt girl and I tell them that. I think there are some core PC pieces that every kitchen should have and I encourage them to beg & borrow to get them :)
I bring and make a chicken in the DCB at every show. Almost every show I do is either power cooking or asian pork and noodle skillet. If they twist my arm I will do a skillet cake.
I come to show them the Best of the best. I do not need to show and sell them a scraper, their friends will do that :)

Honestly the Lg square bowl and server was from doing power cooking and cheeseburger salad shows all spring, I was bummed when they discontinued the server!
App. plates I encourage my hosts to get and then they chat them up at future shows. I love that it is caddy and plates!
Large bar pan is the first piece of stoneware I think people should get and the rice cooker is just cool, and versatile. Rice, ground beef, chicken for chicky salad, a cake etc...

I took a long hard look at what I was selling, what I was talking about and what my sales were. And then I changed my show to reflect what I wanted to get out of it and what I thought they would need to see to justify buying it.
HTH.
I talk to much:blushing:
 
Cheryl---you rock:D

When someone starts one of these threads it makes me curious...so here's mine:
Mix & Chop 72
BBQ Grill Basket 47
Nylon Knife 34
Seasons Best 33
Mini serving spatula 28
Pinch bowl set 22
Corn cob nobs 21
Can opener 20
Quickcut paring knives 20
Twixits 19

yeah, some of these I don't even talk about! I guess I need to focus on $$ items too!
 
Here is my current top 10 (since beginning 3 years ago)

2583 Mix 'N Chop 90
1260 Citrus Peeler 77
2585 Food Chopper 67
2622 Mini-Serving Spatula 62
1755 Chef's Silicone Basting Brush 60
2217 Adjustable Measuring Spoons 54
1825 Prep Bowl Set 48
2230 Classic Batter Bowl 44
2225 Measure-All® Cup 44
2730 Ice Cream Dipper 43

It's amazing to see what your actual numbers are - I mention the mix-n-chop at every show and pass it around - easy sell! I have a show today with 20 coming - hope they earn a lot of free ones!
 
Silly question, but do you all know your top 10 because you keep track or is there a way to track it on P3? If you keep track on your own... GO YOU GUYS! I can't keep track! I have an idea of my tops, but not specifics.
 
No silly questions! :)

In P3, go to Reports, Shows, Top Sell List.
 
OK, here's mine:
1897 The Pampered Chef® Season's Best® Recipe Collection 43
2590 Easy Opener 35
2585 Food Chopper 29
2622 Mini-Serving Spatula 24
1076 Nylon Knife 23
2707 BBQ Grill Basket 22
2495 Can Strainer 20
2229 Easy Adjustable Measuring Spoon 20
1642 All-Purpose Spreader 20
2730 Ice Cream Dipper 19

I was thrilled to see a couple of higher-priced items on the list. I challenged myself after conference to move some cookware into my top 10, but obviously I've let it slip...time to get back on the wagon!
 
I'm glad to see there are some people on here with SB as their number one. That's always my number one...but last month, my number one was the cranberry trivet...the guest special. I guess it all evens out during the course of a year, right?

Funny you asked this...I play this game called Cheryl's top ten. I usually start it when I am done with Queen of the shoppers. Helps them look through the catalog and if EVERYONE orders it it must be good!
I am going off the top of my head but they are:
chicky baker DCB
12" executive skillet
large bar pan
app plates and caddy set
rice cooker
Woven sq server
lg SA bowl
double burner griddle
mix n scraper
hold n slice

Stinkin hold n slice!!!
I always tell them tyhat it is my husbands favorite.
oh well, HTH

Can you tell us a little more about this game, because I want your top ten!!
 
Wow this tells me that I need to buy the large sheet pan (something I had been really thinking about anyways) and the apple wedger. I have most of the other things listed and have noticed they are good sellers too. I am trying to convince myself that I do not need to bring evertyhing I own to shows. I take the three tiered stand to every show and every craft fair and get lots of compliments, but no buyers. The only people who buy it are people who come over to hang out at my house (non PC party guests) and thats it. I fell in love with that and the trifle bowl when I first started and those I take everywhere. The trifle bowl has to be my best seller. I'd have to look up my top 10.

Wow I've run a few reports and it is interesting to see how the top 10 list changes. Many of the items I don't even talk about at my shows - or course some of them may come from catalog shows:)!

I'm going to take a hard look at my shows and just talk up the bigger items like Cheryl is doing. They sell the small things to each other as she said. I have been using the DCB at all my shows and it is very popular.

Here is my top 10 since I started selling 4 years ago:

Quikut Paring Knife
Mix N Chop
Food Chopper
Med. Scoop
Ice Cream Dipper (hardly ever talk about)
Prep Bowl Set (always talk about)
Easy Read Mes. Cups (always talk about)
Citrus Peeler (never talk about)
Classic Scrapper

I have found the Grinders are very popular! I sold two full sets at my show this week and the host is going to order them!! That's 3 out of 10 people! Take them to your show!
 
I'll have to get out the 'Selling Collections' CD again and listen!
That and having more shows again!
 
I have been a consultant for all of a month now... Here is my top 10. My realtor buys the large round stone and pizza cutter and pizza crust for his clients so thats at least 3 a month to him, and I have been making taffy apple tartlets which are a huge hit so I have sold a few mini muffin pans and tart shapers. Interesting to see the corelation between what I use at shows and what I sell. Cant wait to get my DCB! :DThe Pampered Chef® Season's Best® Recipe Collection 14

7" serrated spreader
mix 'n chop

Guess that's not too bad considering 2 or +$25. My top 20 looks better than top 10!!
 
Finally ran the report last night and did from March 1, 2008. The first time I ran it I had a few of the guest specials turn up - so I ran it again without that category to get a more accurate result.

1. mini-serving spatula - 31
2. food chopper - 30
3. trifle bowl - 26
4. prep bowl set - 19
5. mix 'n chop - 18
6. stackable cooling rack - 17
7. can strainer - 16
8. small spreader - 16
9. ice cream dipper - 15
10. pizza cutter - 15

I was pleasantly surprised that #2-4 were $20 plus items. Now I should look back over my almost 3 years in the business and see what the top items are...
