Ok - so my (deanna_g's) party was yesterday - and can I just say I CAN'T WAIT til I get all my products and start selling!!! I am SO happy that I decided to become a consultant. I've always known how great PC products are - but after yesterday it's like "ok, can we expedite shipping on my stuff??!!" And I couldn't even ordered anything because my party doesn't close til next weekend (I have a few more outside orders at work...).She made the Ultimate Chicken Fajitas in the DCB which were just INCREDIBLE. I mean, seriously - I've heard of putting raw chicken in a microwave before and was always grossed out by the idea - but I'm TOTALLY getting a DCB as I was in love!! :love:I have a lot of salsa left over (yay! i love salsa!) and guac (again, YAY!) lol.
But I have to say, I think my absolute favorite tool she used is the chopper (that comes in the kit). That thing is beyond amazing.I also think I'm getting all the knives that are on sale this month! I just want to say thank you to Deanna and how much I can't WAIT to start doing this too!!!
 
Congratulations, and Welcome to both PC and CS!!! Your excitement will get you off to a very strong start, I'm sure. Start booking your parties even before your kit arrives. Good luck!
 
Awww. I just saw this....and you're SO welcome! I was glad to share the opportunity with you. What kind of person would I be if I DIDN'T share this opportunity with you? It's giving you a chance to pay off debt and that's an amazing thing! I know you'll be good at this and dedicated. Welcome to my TEAM!
 
Why are you leaving your show open if you are planning to sign as a consultant? You should close your show immediately. Any outside orders you get you should keep and submit as your first show.....

earn those PC$ girlfriend!
earn the new products!
earn the commission on it!!

These are Outside orders and YOU are doing the work - YOU should earn the benefits.

And as soon as you sell your $1250, your recruiter will earn 2000 trip points! It benefits both of you to do it this way.
 

Hi Deanna,I am so happy to hear that your party was a success and that you are excited to start selling Pampered Chef products! It sounds like your consultant did an amazing job showcasing the products and making delicious dishes. I completely understand your eagerness to get your hands on your own products and start sharing them with others.I'm glad you enjoyed the Ultimate Chicken Fajitas in the Deep Covered Baker. It's a great way to cook chicken quickly and evenly. And I agree, the chopper is a game changer in the kitchen! It makes meal prep so much easier and faster.I'm also excited for you to take advantage of the knife sale this month. Having quality knives in the kitchen is a must, and Pampered Chef knives are top-notch. I have no doubt that you will do great as a consultant and I'm excited to see all the delicious dishes you will create with your new products.Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and I wish you all the best in your Pampered Chef journey!Happy Cooking,
