I am signing someone later tonight (my first) and she keeps asking me what happens if she cant qualify in her 90 days? I figure she wont get all the extra perks of course but does she have to return her kit products at that point? Im already pumping her up to try and make sure this doesn't happen but a litle nervous cuz she keeps asking:confused:
 
She won't have to return the kit. I'm not sure completely what will happen. I heard that she will not get the 2,000 incentive trip points - even if she later qualifies - and neither will you. Beyond that I'm not sure and would love some clarification on this one.
 
As long as she stays active, nothing happens.
 
So, what about a recruit that doesn't submit anything in their first 90 days? I don't think they are considered "inactive" until their 4th month right? I have a gal whose 90 days end on 9/8 and she hasn't done anything yet but keeps saying that she plans to ...

She will be inactive on 10/1.
 
What will happen is she will not be making the most of her investment. If she works hard at qualifying in her 90 days she will get a great return on her time and money as well as set herself up to have a great biz going forward.

That being said she has still signed a contract saying she will do 4 shows or 1250.00 in sales. That is truly all the obligation she has to fill.

thanks for the answers, I guess I'm just going to try and stay in close contact with her.
 
Even though PC doesn't do anything for kit nappers (i.e. request the kit be returned), I remind recruits who are dragging their feet that they did sign a legally binding contract. They agreed that they would do 4 shows in 90 days in exchange for all those products at being such a discount. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.
 
Congrats on the new recruit! Let me just say that I would work with her to change her mindset...she needs to STOP thinking she's not going to qualify and START thinking about all the shows she's gonna book! Thoughts become Things...so what she thinks about will be!

And may I suggest you send her CS's way? :) She will definitely get some great inspiration and ideas on here!

Actually, they agree to do 4 shows or $1250. No time limit.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for my downline to qualify in 90 days?

In the context of Pampered Chef, qualifying in 90 days typically means that your downline must meet specific sales and recruiting goals set by the company within their first three months as a consultant. This often includes achieving a certain sales volume or recruiting a minimum number of new team members.

What happens if my downline doesn't meet the qualification requirements?

If your downline does not meet the qualification requirements within the 90-day period, they may lose their status as a consultant. This can affect your ability to earn commissions or bonuses from their sales, as they will no longer be considered active members of your team.

Can my downline requalify after the 90 days?

Yes, your downline can requalify after the 90-day period. They would need to meet the current qualification criteria set by Pampered Chef to regain their active status. This may involve achieving a certain sales volume or recruiting new team members again.

How can I support my downline to ensure they qualify?

You can support your downline by providing training, resources, and motivation. Encourage them to participate in team meetings, utilize available marketing materials, and set achievable sales goals. Regular check-ins can also help keep them accountable and focused on their objectives.

Will my commissions be affected if my downline doesn't qualify?

Yes, your commissions may be affected if your downline does not qualify. If they are no longer considered active consultants, you will not earn commissions or bonuses from their sales. It's important to actively support your team to help them succeed and maintain their status.
