New "Career Stimulus Plan" From The Pampered Chef® Offers Americans The Chance to Start a Business for Less Than $100

Cape Girardeau, MO 03/08/2009 — With the economy in a tailspin and unemployment rates at an all time high, thousands of Americans are taking on second jobs — or beginning new ones — in order to keep their families financially afloat. In fact, a recent survey conducted by The Pampered Chef revealed that more than one third (35%) of Americans have either taken or researched getting a second job.

In response, The Pampered Chef has announced a new career stimulus plan that makes beginning a direct sales business easier than ever before. During the month of March, anyone who joins as a new Consultant can receive a 50 percent rebate on his or her initial investment. With people choosing to cook more frequently at home versus dining out - 70 percent according to the survey - a direct sales career as a Pampered Chef Consultant is very relevant in today's economy. Consultants can start their own business for only $155, which covers the cost of a starter kit that includes a selection of high-quality products, like the Food Chopper and signature stoneware, and business materials. The kit is valued at more than $500 and includes everything new Consultants need to start their businesses. Consultants joining this month who sell $1,250 in products during their first 30 days with the company will receive up to $77.50 back, or half the cost of their starter kit. Based on Cooking Show sales averages, an average Consultant sells $1,250 in just three Cooking Shows.

In addition to the career stimulus plan, The Pampered Chef also recently announced new compensation incentives that allow every Consultant the opportunity to earn more, sooner in their careers.
