I have 2 ladies that are "sharing " a party next Monday. Neither claimed to know enough people to host their own, so they are going at it together. Question is, Can they both get hostess specials if I load one into P3 as a Co host? I know they would have to split the FPV and all, but I have a bit of a gray area when I tried to answer this myself through CC.

TIA
 
No they can't. Only two per show, one for the past host and one for the current host. Now if the past host doesn't want hers she's welcome to give it to one of the current hosts. Or one of the current hosts can choose the special as a half price item to make it fair (or close to it). I always explain this to them and let them work it out - so I'm not the bad guy! Better yet, have them get a booking for later in the month and the one that didn't get the special can get it then as a booking benefit. Explain it this way and maybe they'll help get you a booking :D
 
Remember that info on special types of shows, such as co-hosted and consultant hosted, are in our policy and procedure guide. This is online at consultant corner.
 
I do my best NOT to have co-hosted shows because of the host special and the past host special. What I do is coach them as co-hosts and then when taking orders, ask who they know (or know best). I split the orders like that. I have always had enough for two shows. This can lower my show average (which I really don't pay much attention to) but both hosts get a host special. And, I can book host B off of host A's show and they get a past host special, too. This gets me very loyal customers! Most hosts who I have done this for will call me up every couple of months and give me another $150 in orders (or more) and get the host and past host special - I always rebook my hosts just in case.

I know this. If you read my post it mentions that I already read about this on CC, and just that I needed clarification. But thanks

Thats a great idea. I will talk to them and see if they are interested in doing this!
 
I call it a Mini Mega Show :D
 
I let the host know that it only takes $150 for a show. I encourange both people to host a show on the same day and the same location. Then both get the benefit of being a host with the host benefit. They should be able to find at least 5 people that could come or order from their show. I remind them about out of town and out of state friends can order from the internet.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two ladies co-host a Pampered Chef party?

Yes, two ladies can co-host a Pampered Chef party. This is a great way to combine efforts, share the responsibilities of hosting, and invite a larger group of friends and family.

Do both co-hosts qualify for hostess specials?

Yes, both co-hosts can qualify for hostess specials as long as they meet the minimum sales requirements set by Pampered Chef. They will need to work together to ensure that the party reaches the necessary sales threshold.

How do the hostess benefits get divided between co-hosts?

The hostess benefits, including discounts and free products, can be divided between the co-hosts based on their individual contributions or as they agree upon. It’s important for both co-hosts to communicate and decide how they want to share the benefits beforehand.

What if one co-host has more guests than the other?

If one co-host has more guests, it can still be beneficial for both. The total sales from the party will determine the hostess benefits, so the co-host with fewer guests can still enjoy the benefits as long as the combined sales meet the requirements.

Can co-hosts have separate parties to earn their own hostess rewards?
