Hello all. Well it's finally happened! I've been a fd for about 1.5 years. Except for July and December I always maintain my $1500 personal sales minimum for overrides. I usually have a $2500 - $4500 month each month. I've never been inactive or even close to it in my 3 years with PC. However this January has been horrible and honestly I can't be bothered. With a full time day job, 4 after school activities, out EVERY weekend with hockey 2 or 3 times, I'm just too darned tired! Taking a break and going to work on end of Feb and onward.

My question is this - I had my first website order in Dec of $91.25 and then I submitted 2 individual orders through PP of $23.85 and $24.00. Then in January I got a website order of $120.75 and then another of $22.50. So that totals $282.35. I then got the dreaded email stating I hadn't sent in enough - about to go inactive (must be $300 every two consecutive months here). It didn't state how much I had submitted so I didn't know if web orders counted or not. I wasn't in a panic because I just had a call for a $114 order. Then today I got another order for $59.62. So without my $114 order that I haven't submitted yet I'm now at $341.97 - all lead sales from my website except for those two small indiv. orders.

Do these web orders keep me active or does it have to be indiv/shows of both types and fundraisers? I have no idea and I can't get CC to load for me to check out policies. Don't even ask where my policy binder is since we've moved and I still have the majority of my office in boxes.

I'd like to keep the $114 order and try to get $90 to make it a catalogue show (need a minimum $200 here) and since there's no stoneware on it and it's a friend I'm going to wait a week or so. However, if I need it to stay active I'll hustle and submit by Thursday.

Anyone know for sure? Absolutely, positively? :confused:

If it's the same in Canada as in the States, all commissionable sales count toward staying active, so you are OK.
 
Call your HO and ask to be sure.
