Well, I have done 5 shows this month (SS#1) and my sales are at $3288.26 and I still have 3 shows this month!!! I also have a very viable potential recruit! YAY!!

My first show was $502 and I was really happy with that..until the next weekend when my 2nd show was $1075! Then I was really, really happy! I also have at least 2 bookings from each show with a bunch more booking leads (you know..."Can you call me next month so we can schedule a show?").

I am so thrilled right now that I cannot even believe it! Thank you so much to everyone here for all your support and advice! I've learned so much and it's only going to get better from here!!!
 
Go Danielle Go!!!
 
Wow, you go girl!! Once you submit that $500 show, you will get the April guest special..the microfiber dishcloths! That gets another....woo hoo :D
 
Totally awesome! Congrats!
 
That's wonderful!! Keep the momentum going and you'll earn a trip courtesy of Pampered Chef!:D Not to mention the great paychecks!!
 
Way to go Danielle!!!
 
Nice job! Keep it up!

That's right! I remembered that Feb is double points, but I guess I forgot about the dishcloths! Right on! That's the first incentive I've earned (not including the SS incentives!)!!!
 
Congratulations, but can you share how you did so well in your shows? What did you make, did you play games, how many guests? Could really use some help this month. I have had two shows cancel and have not set another date yet. :mad:
 
Way to go!! I had three cancellations this month. Yikes! So I'm working on making my remaining shows as good as I can. Fortunately I filled one spot and picked up a fundraiser (will probably be small but I'm still hoping!) You're off to a stellar start on the incentive trips!!
 
Keep doing whatever it is you're doing and ignore all the suggestions youre going to get! ;)
 
KG you crack me up!!Keep up the great work!! It feels so good!:)

Why should someone who is averaging over $750 a show want to take advice from someone who is averaging $350 a show? :D
 
I'm very happy for you Danielle! You are off to a great start!!!!!!
 
Great job, tell me your secret!!
 
WOW! Great job - great enthusiasm! Keep it up!
 
Way to go! Keep it up and START your team now! You will be glad you did!
 
That is awesome Danielle! Good Job!

I got no secrets!! I didn't play any games, just asked guests to intro themselves, tell me how they know the host, and give me one word that describes them in the kitchen.

I demoed the Antipasto Vegetable Pizza and had the cannoli dip with sweet crispy tortilla chips waiting when guests got there. All I can tell you is that I laughed A LOT and people laughed with me. I was honest about what a crappy cook I've been in the past and about my desire to bring my family to the dining room table every night TOGETHER. I had so much fun and I did a lot of listening to what my guests said and asked.
 
Wow!!! This is my first month too. My first show is this coming weekend and I am so nervous right now just thinking about it. What's the secret? I want a first month like yours!!

See the "secret" is no secret :) Keep it simple, Keep it fun. We can sometimes get so caught up in trying to add alot of "bells and whistles" to our shows. Mixing things up every now and then if fine so that YOU don't begin to look and sound like you are giving them some spiel.

New consultants that are just starting out really need to just focus on the basics. Remember why you love PC and it will show to those around you.
 
That is so great. Congratulations on a fabulous start!
 
Great Job!!!
 
Congrats Danielle! That's fantastic! :D
 
Congrats, that is great!!
 
Congratulations! Keep up the good work.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my sales are lower than expected after five shows?

If your sales are lower than expected, take a moment to analyze each show. Consider factors such as attendance, guest engagement, and product selection. Reach out to your customers for feedback and think about ways to enhance your presentation or offer promotions to boost sales. Additionally, consider following up with guests who showed interest but did not purchase.

How can I increase my sales after completing five shows?

To increase your sales, focus on building relationships with your customers. Follow up with them after the shows to thank them for attending and remind them of any products they showed interest in. You can also host a virtual party or offer exclusive discounts for repeat customers. Engaging with your audience on social media can also help drive sales.

What are some effective strategies for promoting my shows to boost sales?

Effective promotion strategies include leveraging social media platforms to create buzz about your shows, sending out personal invitations to potential guests, and using email marketing to remind customers of upcoming events. Consider offering incentives for guests who bring friends or for those who place orders during the show.

How can I track my sales performance after multiple shows?

To track your sales performance, keep detailed records of each show, including the number of attendees, total sales, and individual orders. Utilize Pampered Chef's online tools and resources for consultants to monitor your progress. Regularly review your sales data to identify trends and areas for improvement.

What are some common challenges I might face after five shows, and how can I overcome them?

Common challenges include low attendance, lack of engagement, and difficulty closing sales. To overcome these, focus on creating an inviting atmosphere, engaging your audience with interactive demonstrations, and offering limited-time promotions to encourage purchases. Continuous learning through training sessions and connecting with other consultants can also provide valuable insights and support.
