Okay, so I have this show on the 20th. There were 10 people there. Not a soul ordered there. They all were going to place their orders with the host, but didn't get paid until such and such...so they were going to contact her. We were supposed to close the 31st, so I called the host and she only got 1 order worth $30. However, she got 6 bookings. I am so confused!!! I can't enter the show because it hasn't qualified yet...now she doesn't think she is going to get qualified by tomorrow (which I wasn't close to the $1250, but still)
UGGG
 
I would leave it open (I know you wanted those sales for March), BUT come one 6 bookings. I wish I could get one booking from a show. Give your host a challenge to get more orders to make it a show (so she can get the booking benefit from all six shows).
 
I'm with Krista. You technically have until April 15 to close it.
 
Today is too late for it to be included in on the HWC products. Just see what happens with the show tomorrow.

Maybe encourage the host to try to get some orders from out of town family/friends. I think the ability to get 6 booking benefits is a great incentive.
 
She must've said something that no one ordered. Commonly people order small items, just out of courtesy to the host. What did you demo?Did you do a full-service checkout? How did you get the 6 bookings?

My sales are low too, but my bookings are great. I think that is the effect of the economy here in MI!

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my guests are delaying their orders after the show?

If your guests are delaying their orders, it's important to follow up with them. You can send a friendly reminder email or message, highlighting the products they expressed interest in and any special offers that may be expiring soon. Personalizing your communication can encourage them to finalize their purchases.

Will the prices change if guests delay placing their orders?

Typically, the prices for Pampered Chef products remain the same for a limited time after a show. However, if there are any promotions or discounts associated with the show, guests should place their orders before those offers expire to ensure they receive the best pricing.

How long do guests have to place their orders after the show?

Can I still earn rewards if guests delay their orders?

Yes, you can still earn rewards as long as the orders are placed within the designated timeframe. However, if orders are significantly delayed beyond that period, they may not count towards your show total, which could affect your rewards.

What if a guest decides not to order at all?

If a guest decides not to order, it's important to respect their decision. You can ask for feedback to understand their reasons, which can help you improve future shows. Additionally, encourage them to reach out if they change their mind or have questions about the products.
