I have a great customer who has had a pce. of stoneware brake sometime a go. She booked a catty show with me this month and told me that the pce. broke during a move to her new house. She didn't bother to save me a pce! Will HO send me a new one with out a pce from the broken one? If they don't should I foot the bill for a new one. She was my very first customer and has had 2 shows and 1 catty with me, I can't believe she didn't save me a pce!
 
Ask around in your cluster and see if someone else has a piece. Some folks (me included) keep broken stoneware on hand for cases like these.

or, call the Solution Center and explain the situation (that she threw it out) and see what they say.l
 
I have emailed them about the same issue and they have had me send them info like show, guest name, address and sent out a new one. They are VERY helpful in that regard.
 
I've had multiple customers toss a piece of stoneware after it breaks, and Home office has replaced every one of them. Call 'em and see what they say. If you don't like the answer, talk to a supervisor. :)
 
Also, sometimes one person at the Solution Center will say "no way". Call again--get someone different and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm struggling to find customers for my Pampered Chef business?

If you're struggling to find customers, consider expanding your network by reaching out to friends, family, and acquaintances. Host a few cooking shows or online parties to showcase the products. Utilize social media platforms to share recipes, cooking tips, and product demonstrations. Joining local community groups or events can also help you connect with potential customers.

How can I improve my sales techniques in direct sales?

Improving your sales techniques can involve several strategies. Start by understanding your products thoroughly so you can confidently answer questions. Practice your pitch and focus on building relationships with potential customers rather than just selling. Attend training sessions or webinars offered by Pampered Chef to learn new sales strategies and techniques from experienced consultants.

What should I do if I feel overwhelmed with my Pampered Chef business?

Feeling overwhelmed is common in direct sales. Take a step back and assess your priorities. Create a manageable schedule that allows you to balance your business with personal life. Set realistic goals and break them down into smaller, achievable tasks. Don't hesitate to reach out to your upline or fellow consultants for support and advice.

How can I motivate myself to keep going in my Pampered Chef business?

To stay motivated, remind yourself of your goals and the reasons you started your business. Celebrate small wins and milestones to keep your spirits high. Surround yourself with supportive peers who can inspire you. Consider setting up a reward system for yourself when you reach certain targets, and regularly revisit your vision board or goals to stay focused.

What should I do if I receive negative feedback about my business?

Receiving negative feedback can be tough, but it's important to view it as an opportunity for growth. Listen to the feedback without becoming defensive, and try to understand the customer's perspective. Use constructive criticism to improve your approach or product offerings. If the feedback is unfounded, respond professionally and maintain a positive attitude to uphold your reputation.
