A few days ago, I had composed a brilliant post in my head. I’d framed my thoughts about joining Pampered Chef with . I’d worked in all my ideas about selling, networking, and showing off the products. I’d come up with a good way to explain how we’d start with our friends and family, and create a larger network of possible customers from there. After all, friends and family aren’t customers. They’re friends and family. I neglected to write down my brilliant and\/or cheesy turns of phrase, and so it was all lost to the mists. Last night, in an attempt to jump-start my brain into re-creating the original masterpiece, I wrote this:<\/lj><\/p>\n

“How do I sell? How do I share my exuberance about a product – actual, real excitement – with others? In a professional setting or a fun one? How do I express that I love using these products without sounding cheesy and\/or coming across like I’m trying to pressure my friends into buying something that they don’t want and\/or need?<\/p>\n

I’ve been using Pampered Chef<\/a> tongs<\/a> and angled measuring cups<\/a> and the liquid\/dry measuring cup<\/a> since put on a show in the Fairview house. When I moved in with , I got access to a ridiculous amount of the tools – garlic press<\/a>, pizza cutter<\/a> (squee!), and cheese grater<\/a>, just to name a few.”<\/lj><\/lj><\/p>\n

I didn’t end up finishing… Cian ended up falling asleep, and so I snagged the opportunity to sleep. I have to admit, I’m kind of wishing for the same situation right about now. Heh.<\/p>\n

Put plainly and simply, it’s an opportunity to add to our income by selling products that we buy ourselves.<\/p>\n

I won’t push anyone to host a show or to buy any products. If you want to check out the online catalog<\/a>, and you happen to see products that you and your friends would enjoy, we’d be happy to put on a show for you. Hosts get free products, too, depending on how much their show earns.<\/p>\n

Me, I can’t wait for my hinged grease spatter screen<\/a>. Nikki’s biting her nails for her cutting board with drop-in measuring cups<\/a>. Yeah, we’re addicted. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
