I messed up June and July working so much ot at the job, that i just put pc on the back burner. I went to conference and now am ready to get back to it. The same day i get the inactive email(today) I have submited a over $200 catalog show. I didn't lose much in terms of career sales I just feel like I let some people down like mostly me, and my recruiter. :( Oh well so I start anew. Any advise as how not to let this happen again? And how do you keep motivated about talking to everybody about the business and hosting a show?
 
Call the HO and ask about a retro-active waiver (??) not sure if that's what it's called. You have to pay $25 but it will keep you active if it just happened last month.

Always turn in at least a min. of $200 in comissionable sales every other month. I check my IPT almost every day to keep track of what my team is doing and where I'm at. So there are no surprises.

Talk to everyone about PC and offer old catalogs to people with your contact information as you do your daily errands to possibly pick up new business. Ask your friends and family to advertise for you and get you potential business, offer them a gift or $$ once the show closes.
 
Dave have you invested in a PC ball cap or poloshirt or even a unisex t-shirt to help start conversations?
