How to Start Selling Pampered Chef

Pampered Chef was started in 1980 as a direct seller of essential kitchen tools. They were purchased by Berkshire Hathaway in 2002. All Pampered Chef products are sold exclusively by independent consultants. If you love cooking and want to introduce people to new recipes and kitchen tools, Pampered Chef may be an attractive business for you.
