Thinking About A Home-Based Business?<o:p></o:p>

Here Are Just Some Of The Ways We Are Different From Other Companies:<o:p></o:p>

1.                  First, our business only costs $90.00 (or even less) to start and we don't have to rejoin pay again) every year.

2.                  We don't have to keep and inventory, thus cutting down the investment.  We don't have to do deliveries.  All products are shipped to the host for faster delivery to the customers.

3.                  Host gifts are paid for by The Pampered Chef.  Most direct sales companies have their reps pay for the host gifts. They either deduct it from their pay, or they don't offer host gifts unless the Consultant gives it on their own (pays out of pocket).

4.                  The Pampered Chef pays the fees to the credit card companies for us.  Again, with some of the other direct sales companies when a guest pays by credit card, the Consultant has to pay a fee for that as well as the start up cost (usually around $400), but many times the Consultant chooses not to offer a credit card option.

5.                  Our commission is the same no matter how much our show total is.  With some companies, to get that 50% commission, they must turn in a minimum order.  Otherwise, the commission goes down.

6.                  The Pampered Chef offers a commission increase when career sales of $15,000 are reached.  This usually takes 6 months from starting your business.

7.                  Our monthly and quarterly bonuses offer added $$$ to our paychecks.

8.                  We don't have our commission adjusted (taken back) if someone returns a product - ever!

9.                  The company pays for booking points (most direct sales reps pay for booking gifts themselves).

10.              Our required paperwork is inexpensive and it only changes twice a year AND you always know when it will change; plus we receive free samples twice a year.

11.              We can order ALL new product samples at half price (some companies send only select samples) AND we are always offered the opportunity to earn all the new products for FREE by reaching easy sales levels.

12.              We have no sales territories and our sales quota to remain an active Consultant is only $200 every two-months.

13.              Company-wide the average show is $470 so that $200 is a cinch.

14.              The Pampered Chef collects all state sales tax and pays them for us.

15.              We have a toll free customer service line (some companies have 900 numbers and ONLY Directors can call).

16.              Pampered Partner, the computer program we use to submit shows electronically, comes free with the purchase of your starter kit.  If a Consultant owns a computer, they never have to write a show order by hand.

17.              We have the HIGHEST show average in the direct sales industry.

18.              Our host program is very generous, which encourages bookings, which in turn helps promote MORE shows, thus more sales.

19.              Hosts don't pay tax on their FREE products.  The Pampered Chef pays for the sales tax on the free and half-priced and discounted portions of all host benefits.

20.              Our hosts can earn 3 half-priced items (most companies only offer 1) and we don't pick the items; they can choose anything in the catalog.

21.              Hosts don't pay shipping and handling NO MATTER what the sales are from their show (some companies have a minimum).

22.              Host benefits aren't tied to bookings (you get host benefits even if you don't have any bookings), but our average Consultant gets 2 bookings per show anyway.

23.              Our hosts don't have a separate catalog to choose their free, half-priced and discounted items from.  They choose items from the same catalog as their guests use.
