Well, lets see, we only had ONE person show up!!! :confused: but I did good, I think that if it wouldnt have been the day before easter that a lot more people would have come. I have a lot of people at church that are going to have their orders ready for me, and the ONE lady that came today, well she wants to sign up to be a consultant! PLus she had a order today.

I know that this will be easy for me to do! I didn't have to TRY you know, I love the products, so it just came to me, I even wrote up a script, but didn't have to use it.

I am dissapointed that I didn't have a lot of people come, but I am happy that now I am confident that this is a good thing for me!

Have a Happy Easter!

Just look at it as practice for you :) Just keep up the confidence and have fun :)

Happy Easter to you too!
 
If you can overcome that then you will have an awesome career ahead of you with PC!! Congratulations!!
 
Congratulations on overcoming your FIRST show! Just think of it as really good practice! Did she at least place an nice order!??;) :confused:

Don't take it personal, quite a few consultants that I spoke with that had a show today didn't have a good turnout.

Keep us updated! Make sure you encourage the host to get outside orders from ALL the people who didn't make it!:)
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Successful shows come in many different forms! Are you glad there is only one first show!? My first show I was soooo sick. I didn't want to cancel. I was on these medications that were reacting with each other and was as high as a kite. And there were a TON of people. I don't remember anything about that night. I got like four bookings, go I guess I did ok.
 
As I always say...You will never have another first show, you are done with that! Know that the shows will only get better from here on out. Most consultants first shows are not great, mine was a flop...but I learned from it and made adjustments and made my $15k in career sales in 6 months.

Congrats!!!

AWESOME!! My goal is to make 15K in under a year. I still have $3999.98 to go, but have a good schedule so far, and I have until July, so I'm optimistic!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after my first Pampered Chef show?

After your first show, take some time to reflect on what went well and what could be improved. Follow up with your guests by sending thank-you notes or emails, and encourage them to reach out if they have any questions about the products. Additionally, review your sales and bookings to see if you can schedule follow-up shows or recruit new team members.

How can I increase my sales after my first show?

To increase your sales, consider hosting a follow-up show or offering special promotions to your guests. Utilize social media to showcase the products and share your experiences. Engage with your customers by providing recipes or cooking tips using the Pampered Chef products they purchased. Building relationships and maintaining communication can lead to repeat sales.

What if I didn't sell as much as I hoped at my first show?

It's common for new consultants to feel this way after their first show. Focus on the positive aspects, such as the experience you gained and the connections you made. Analyze what factors may have affected your sales, such as product selection or guest engagement. Use this information to improve your approach for future shows, and remember that building a successful business takes time.

How can I get more bookings from my first show?

To secure more bookings, make sure to mention the benefits of hosting a show during your presentation. Offer incentives, such as discounts or free products, for guests who book a show on the spot. Share your excitement about the products and the fun of hosting a gathering, and consider using a booking game to encourage participation.

What resources are available to help me after my first show?
