What Should I Include in My First Cooking Show Setup Notebook?

In summary, the individual is preparing for their first cooking show and is seeking advice on what to include in their notebook. They mention having a copy of host benefits, business opportunity information, and a FAQ section. They also mention wanting to include more personal information, such as family photos and their story. They ask for suggestions on what else to include and mention having a list of top 10 best sellers and pay checks.

I will be having my first cooking show this Saturday. It's been over a year since I have been to a PC show, and my upline consultant lives several states away and I haven't been able to reach her lately.

I'm trying to put together my materials. I was wondering what do you include in your notebook. I remember most consultants had a 3-ring binder with things like pictures of their family for their 'story', and business opportunities...but without SEEING an example, I can't recall what kind of things were in them. What do you have in yours?

So far, I have a copy of the Host Benefits page from the catalog, the next 3 months Host Benefits to highlight upcoming specials for Hosts (since that is what I want most!), and then a 2-page spread with Business Opportunity information that my consultant had given me originally. Behind that is an "FAQ" that I'll let someone look at if they are interested in more information/questions.

What else should I include? I don't have anything about me in there yet, but I'll do a 2-page spread showing my family and story a bit.

Thanks!

I have been doing this for less than a year so I don't have personal info in my folder yet, except for a list of my top 10 best sellers and copies of two months of pay checks.Since you can't do this, some other things I have are:
next two months host benefits - don't put 3 months. You want to fill your calendar now, not three months from now.
fundraising flier
bridal registry flier
theme show fliers if you have any
a few recipes that you can download with pictures at cc
flier explaining why they should become a pc consultant, along with your info about the consultant business opportunityslowly you'll find other things to add to it.

1. How do I set up my first Pampered Chef show?

To set up your first show, start by creating a guest list and sending out invitations. Next, gather all necessary materials such as product catalogs, order forms, and demonstration tools. Make sure to have plenty of samples and ingredients on hand to showcase the products. Finally, set up your display area with attractive and eye-catching arrangements to draw in guests.

2. What products do I need to have on display for my first show?

It is recommended to have a variety of products on display, including popular items such as our stoneware, knives, and cookware sets. It is also helpful to have a mix of products at different price points to cater to a range of budgets. Be sure to have samples and demonstration tools for each product on display as well.

3. How long should my first show last?

A typical Pampered Chef show lasts about 2 hours. However, for your first show, it may be helpful to plan for an extra 30 minutes to allow for setup and any unexpected delays. It is important to keep the show moving along and not let it go on for too long, as guests may lose interest.

4. How do I handle orders and payments at my first show?

Before the show, make sure to familiarize yourself with the ordering and payment process. You can collect orders and payments during the show, or have guests place their orders online after the show. It may be helpful to have a separate area designated for order taking to keep the show area organized and easy to navigate for guests.

5. What should I do to prepare for my first show?

In addition to setting up your display and gathering necessary materials, it is important to practice your demonstration and familiarize yourself with the products you will be showcasing. Make sure to also have a plan for any potential questions or objections from guests. Most importantly, have a positive attitude and be excited to share the Pampered Chef experience with your guests!
