Hi,

I wondering if someone could answer a question for me. I have been inactive for about 11-12 months now. Instead of just submitting $200 in sales to become active, I would like to just pay $90 for the starter kit(so I can have a second newer set to take to shows). Do I have to wait exactly 12 months order to do this? Or can this be done anytime after you become inactive. Thanks for your help!

If you want to buy a new starter kit, I believe it has to be 12 full months. Are you planning on signing up with your "old" recruiter/director? That person can probably let you know for sure. If you're not planning to sign under her, let me know and I can look into this for you, as well as help you get re-started. That's great that you're starting up again!!! Good for you! :) Do you remember the date you went inactive?

Feel free to email me if you have any other questions I can help you with. Congrats on making the decision to "come back to the table." :D

You can find out exactly how long it's been by contacting PC at www.pampoeredchef.com They will look up your information for you and tell you the exact rule. I do know that if you are signing under a different recruiter you must wait the 12 months.

Good Luck!

Thanks for your help! I just found out Oct 1st is the soonest date that I can sign up as a new consultant. So I'm going to take this extra time to book shows for October and November. :)

Great idea to use that time to get a solid calendar booked. You'll be starting back up at a good time since fall is so busy and we have great specials. Let us know if you have any questions or need anything else. You may have seen this already and it's more for brandnew consultants, but it could be helpful as you plan to restart your business. I'll attach the file about what to do while you wait for your kit. Good luck with everything!!
