Preparing File Folders

For those of you who do not have your kits yet, OR JUST NEED TO GET ORGANIZED, this is a way to get a jump start on your business, straight from the "Welcome To The Pampered Chef" Booklet!!!

Prepare File Folders (Remember the box your paperwork comes in from HO doubles as a mini file cabinet so you do not need one):

<o:p> </o:p>

1. Recipes
2. Kitchen Show Planners
3. Catalog Show Planners
4. Show Benefits Flyers
5. Host Information Cards (I have one folder for blank ones & one for filled out ones.
6. <st1:place w:st="on">Opportunity</st1:place> Brochures
7. Super Starter Program Flyers.
8. Kitchen Consultant Agreements
9. Sales Receipts (you may need 2 folders for this one-you get bunches)
10. Kitchen Show Tally Forms
11. Mailing Stickers (these are for the HO orders)
12. Paperwork/Supply Order Form -You only get one-guard it w/your life:)
13. Company Newsletters (These are actually in book form 3-hole punched...so you may want to put them in a binder instead)
14. Incentives & Promotions (staple a tally sheet to the inside front of the file---you can put your goal there & a breakdown of what you need to do to get there--instant reminder)
15. Director Info (for their newsletters, info on local events, etc)
16. Completed Orders (from each Show, filed by month)

17.  Pampered Partner Sales Receipts

The Welcome Booklet also recommends you gather the following supplies:

1.      Mileage Ledger (I use my calendar instead & list info there.

2.      9x12 Envelopes for Host Packets (I do not use these-I use 3-hole file folders--recyclable host packets)

3.      Stamps

4.      Calculator

5.      20 Red Pens

6.      Zipper Bag to carry change for Shows

7.      Hand Towel, dish cloths & antibacterial soap for shows (if you can try to order the New PC Towels & the Suds Pump... if you need the supplies anyway then you should show off the PC ones :)& the towels are HUGE!!

8.      Tote Bag or briefcase for carrying paperwork & catalogs to shows (Good idea to have your name, phone, email etc on them & just keep them in a tote of plastic container in the car)

9.      Self-Inking Stamp w/name. phone, address (there are other ways to go here...lots of info on this site for stickers or just writing your stats on the catalogs

10.  Business Cards (you may want to consider a magnet type or a preferred buyer type---BC on front/blocks on the back for you to initial when they make a PC purchase through you...can also give initials for bookings, amount purchased, bringing a friend, etc)

11.  Keep 2 catalogs & a small notepad & pen in my purse whenever you go out & your calendar.
