The Pampered Chef Business Opportunity
May 10, 2008 7:02 PM
The Pampered Chef has been in business for over 20 years. The company is a part of the prestigious
Berkshire Hathaway family of businesses.
They offer a number of tools to aid chefs in the kitchen as well as a network
marketing business opportunity.
The Pampered Chef Product Lineup
The Pampered Chef offers
kitchenware, bakeware, cookware and other related products. The company provides a number of products to
help simplify meal preparation.
Pampered Chef offers cookware
items such as gravy separators, meat lifters, micro cookers, rice cookers,
roasting pans and more. The company also
offers kitchenware items like mixing bowls, ice cream dipper, and measuring
cups.
The Pampered Chef Compensation Plan
The Pampered Chef
Compensation pays anywhere from 20 to 25% commission based on the amount of
sales you make each month.
Once you make at least
$15,000 in career sales, your commissions increase to 22 to 27%
commission. This rate is higher than the
previous rate for the same sales volume.
Recruiting people onto your team will help you earn overrides based on the sales of your organization. For instance, if you can build a team to the
level of Director, you will earn a 3% override on the sales of everybody on
your team that is not under another Director.
To reach the Director level
it requires building an organization that produces at least $4000 in retail
sales for the month with at least $350 in personal sales. You also need a minimum of at least 5 active
consultants in your organization.
To get started in Pampered
Chef there is an initial investment of $155.
This pays for the products and tools that you will need to get started
doing your first cooking show where you demonstrate the products and get paid
on the orders collected.
Can You Build A Pampered Chef Business Online?
Pampered Chef doesn't allow
any advertising of the business online in any way shape or form. This seemingly makes it difficult to build a
Pampered Chef business using internet marketing strategies and techniques. However, it's not if you know what you are
doing.
This is a perfect example of
why the Funded Proposal in internet network marketing concept was created. The funded proposal allows you to build your
business online without ever mentioning or promoting Pampered Chef directly.
Find or create an
information product you can market and promote which provides generic training
and information about building a direct sales or network marketing
business. This generic training is what
you promote online, not Pampered Chef.
By promoting quality
information, some of your prospects will eventually ask you what type of
business you are in. When this happens,
you get their contact information and contact them offline. You can then promote your Pampered Chef
business.
By contacting them online
and never mentioning Pampered Chef in any electronic communication, you can
build your business using the power of the internet without being in violation of
any of Pampered Chef's policies and procedures.
