Why Pampered Chef Is so Much Better Than Mk

[soonerchef]

Sorry, it's pretty pricey jewelry....

Silipada is jewelry. I met a really sweet rep at a joint show. I think she said they get 30 to 50% percent. It sounded like Avon where you sell the products for whatever is listed in the catalog and then the company just deducts part of that from your account.

I was trying to do an At Home America catalog show and I've only got one $40 order!!! Everyone is telling me that the stuff is way to expensive for them to pay for!!! Yes, They have 250 products under $25 BUT who wants to pay $7.99 for a dip you're going to eat one time? I know i wouldn't want to. I think $7.99 is the cheapest thing that they have in the catalog.
I feel bad that i only got one order but i asked just about every one i know to order and i keep getting the same thing.

The host benefits stink also. They are as follows:

$150-$299 10% free 1 half-price item
$300-$499 10% free 1 half-price item
$500-$749 10% free 2 half-price items
$750-$999 15% free 3 half-price items
$1000+ 20% free 3 half-price items

You also get one extra half-price item for every booking up to three bookings.

Hosts have to pay shipping and taxes on all "Free" stuff AND the hosts do not get any discount after there free stuff. They have to pay full price for anything that isn't free.

Signature Home Styles is bascily the same thing.... PC has the best Hostess Rewards to offer by far!!

I'm hosting an AHA show at the end of the month...my rep told me that this month was double hostess credit...

I originally did the show to thank this consultant, who had my top show last spring, but since my DH was out of work, I couldn't just purchase from her straight out. As it turns out, she's considering PC because she can't stand the administrative nightmare she deals with working with AHA. I think that says a mouthful!

I've been with Avon, Tupperware, and now PC.

With Avon, I did end up making about $800 extra a month for almost a year even after buying my books, supplies, and products for me. I actually sold it twice in two different states. I can definately tell you that the amount of work you put into it, is the amount of return you get. The second time around it became a 7 day a week job in itself though. But, it kept me busy while hubby was deployed. After all the other hubbies came back though, the orders went down and I decided to quit (the wives couldn't get away with spending so much of their husbands money LOL). But I can also say Avon has a little something for everyone...and you can back order up to two catalogs so customers can still get the sales they want a month and a half later. The meetings were fun and informative. But there is no actual support like here. I just got tired of a particular neighbor stealing my deliveries from my porch.

Tupperware is just too worn out. It's been around for so long that everyone has the pieces they want and since they replace broken parts, there's not many sales to be had. I couldn't get enough sales to stay with it so I just stopped.

With PC there's something even for us non-cookers. I hate to cook but the products make it so much easier. And the price range is excellent for reaching a ton of different people. And I don't have to bag stuff up every two weeks and run it around town to deliver...especially when the purchaser orders but doesn't pay and then doesn't return your calls. I'm new to PC but the support I found here and on the website were enough to get me to sign up out of nowhere...I hadn't even spoken to the host of the party I attended about it (that was her signing party). The trips will be awesome to earn...Avon had nothing like that at all and no real recognition during the year. I am looking forward to all the free stuff I can earn with PC.

congrats on wanting to sign up I love doing PC and you are totally right you dont have to like to cook since there are so many different products in the catalog

That's great you did so well with Avon! I had a very hard time making any money with Avon and it was just soo much work canvassing neighborhoods and businesses every two weeks, then packaging and delivering to do it all over again each week! I totally love the the support from TPC and CS and look forward to acheiving some trip incentive rewards too! Not to mention all the FREE product PC offers all year round! I've earned probably $2k worth of product in the year I have been doing this! I don't recall Avon ever offering rewards for our sales? I think you ventured to the right Company! Welcome and good luck to you!

I did well the 2nd time. The first time I sold Avon I totally bombed. In a small town, one Avon lady is enough. And since she'd been there years, she pretty much had the entire territory for sales and no one wanted to switch (they all knew her of course). But they didn't tell me that when I signed up. And I didn't put much effort into it. I do love their products and am a big buyer. I also did a lot of 'catalog party swaps' on a website with a lot of different companies--so I had a lot of out of state sales too. I love Jafra cosmetics myself but they're pricey.

I LOVE the PC free stuff!! I am always so excited and I started in Sept. and have earned so much and I didn't get any of the extra SS things. I always show my DH how well I've done and say something like, "Look at all the stuff I have earned!!!" He is just as excited as I am... PC is definantly worth it. I looked into about every DS company possible and sold w/ two others (Avon and MK) and I am very very happy with PC.
