The Pampered Chef compensation plan is unlike most other multi level marketing company compensation plans that you will find. To make money with the Pampered Chef compensation plan, you will have to do home parties at the hostess’s house. So you better enjoy toting all the tools around, cooking and talking.
During the show, you are explaining the versatility of the products that Pampered Chef sells and the convenience of their recipes. The “chef” prepares a few of the recipes that the hostess picks out as a demonstration of the tool and the recipes. While the guests then nibble on the food, the chef collects orders, books parties and answers questions.
You are paid a percentage of the sales that are created at each party. You are also paid a percentage of what the people you are able to recruit into the business sell. The difference here is that the higher you move up in the company, the less money you make off the people you have placed under you. So really the best way to make the most money is to sell, sell, sell!
Pampered Chef is a good retail business. If you are looking for a way to build a business under you and make more money as you advance within the company, Pampered Chef is not the place for you.
