BadGirl said:Absolutely not, would I travel that far for a show.
I limit myself to shows under an hour away from me. And that's why I'll never make high levels within TPC....I'm too lazy. But having a full-time job, a toddler and four older step-children, a husband just about to graduate as a Doctor, and a part-time catering business, and we're about to move into our new home, I just don't want to put that much effort in to it.

Sheila said:I am planning a trip home to TX in May and e-mailed out to a group of friends/family that I'm looking for 4 bookings all in one weekend. I've booked 2 of the 4 May slots yesterday & had a 3rd one agree to do a show today! Lisa (pampcheflisa) has graciously agreed to loan me some equipment to work that weekend. I'll try to recruit and if I do, they will get the show they are attending and any bookings off that show ... but I doubt that I'll recruit at all 3/4 shows. So in exchange for loaning me the tools, I'm giving Lisa the other bookings! I certainly won't be flying from Japan back to TX to do them.
But I will tell you that if you decide to do it ... don't forget to log your mileage!!!

toenail1103 said:I have done it and i have learned from the experience. I host coached like crazy and she led me to believe she had 6 people coming but no outside orders so I drove 3 hours one way and NO One showed up!! No orders and she talked about signing up and then backed out so I was out of my time and gas. So I pretty much drove that way to cook dinner for her and her boyfriend. So I made a rule I will only leave my house for a party that far if she has 200 dollars in outside orders at least so that will at least pay for my gas to and from. Unless it is for my family. then that would be a different story. ood Luck with your business!!
It ultimately depends on your personal goals and priorities. Some consultants have found great success in expanding their customer base by traveling to new areas, while others may prefer to focus on local shows. Consider the potential sales and recruitment opportunities, as well as the cost and time commitment, before making a decision.
Make sure to plan ahead and communicate with the host. Offer to bring extra products or samples for guests to try, and ask if there are any specific products or recipes they would like to see demonstrated. Use the time in the car to review your presentation and practice any new techniques or recipes.
Recruiting at shows can be a great opportunity to expand your team, but it's important to approach it carefully. Focus on building relationships with guests and sharing your own passion for Pampered Chef. If the opportunity presents itself, you can mention the potential benefits of becoming a consultant, but always respect the host and their guests and never pressure anyone into joining.
Highlight the benefits of joining Pampered Chef, such as the flexibility, support, and income potential. Share your own success story and how the opportunity has positively impacted your life. You can also offer to connect them with other consultants in their area for support and advice.
In addition to the potential sales and recruitment opportunities, consider the cost of gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, and any other expenses associated with traveling. Also, make sure to check the local regulations and requirements for selling in that area, as well as any potential conflicts with other Pampered Chef consultants in the area.
