Hello!
I have an interview tomorrow and need some help to make a checklist for her to know what to do after signing.

So far, I have....

1- Get your consultant # from your congratulations E-mail file and print that
E-mail to have handy if you need it later
2- Either open a seperate checking account for just Pampered Chef or use
your account you already have set up
3- Go online to www.pamperedchef.com and apply for a debit card on
consultants corner
4- Apply for a Pampered Chef Visa if you want
5- Pick up some file folders for organization
6- Save ALL receipts and log on Pampered Partner when you get your kit
7- Spread the word to EVERYONE!!!!
8-

and thats where I get lost....

Any help with what else is to be arranged
Thanks so much for insight!!

One word,
Awful..
She told me she had the money to sign up the other day and then got there and said "I don't have the money, maybe I could borrow it from my grandparents." I don't know, her heart says she wants to, but I don't think she is all there.
Move on to the next one I guess.

Don't get discouraged...All of my potential consultant's have really run me around. I even took one to the Hispanic event in McAllen TX which is about an hr away, she told everyone she definately was signing up and never has :( She's been a Great help to me at my bilingual shows, but , well for now my PC has been put aside. I'm really trying to turn in $ 140.00 by the end of May so that I'll remain active and sure hope NC will give me the major boost that I need as well.

I'm currently looking for another Hospital Med Rec coding position so that's taking up quite a bit of my free time.

Good Luck and Hang in there!!

Schel~

Sorry it didn't go as planned :( I wonder what happened with her :confused: :confused: :confused:

Did you tell her that you will follow up with her to see what comes of her grandparents? and maybe some of the ideas that people have had on here about worried about cost. I know that she is in school, so maybe she thought she had money, and then had to pay a bill that wasn't expected, so she doesn't. I'm sorry, but don't give up! You can do it!!! :D

Schel ~

Sometimes the TIMING isn't always right...

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HER ! ! !

Don't lose hope ~ when the timing IS right, it will come.

Sorry to hear that. I would keep in touch with her. Can she host a show to offset the cost?
