Not so happy with new requirements

schel

I am not so happy with the have to submit $150.00 a month to stay active. I can see new consultants having to do this, but for us who have already been with the company for a couple years I think $200.00 every 2 months is more achievable. Why not granny in the older consultants and apply this to the new consultants starting to keep them engaged in their business?

(When does this go in effect? I listened to the video best I could with a 9 year old interupting and does it start April 1st?)

I find this also difficult when all the calls I am making to book, everyone is telling me not now, economy is to bad and anyone I invite can't afford to come to a show.
Sorry to vent on all of you, things are really tight here for us right now also, so how can I expect things to be different out there for any potential hosts?

My Jan sucks! Only 1 catalog show even with the great incentive! Guess if I go inactive. I go inactive. Just sucks that after my time in being a consultant this is not considered. I have had only 1 month where I have gone without sales in my entire 3 years of selling. It just makes me mad at this. I can see this affecting directors and uplines when those consultants that can't submit in a month dropping to inactive. I have to say, once someone goes inactive, it is all that much easier to say "I'm done."

What a poor time to do this with how things are in the economy right now! Feels like they are trying to get rid of some of us.

Sorry to vent on all of you, I just needed to vent somewhere.

I am thrilled with the new requirements!

I don't think you are understanding the entire picture.

Yes, you have to have $150 in a month to be considered "active", but you don't go inactive like you used to. It takes 2 months of not submitting $150 to lose your career sales now - and now if you have a recruit, and go inactive for a month, you don't lose that recruit. THAT in itself is worth gold!

You will be considered inactive if you skip a month, you will not loose your career sales unless you skip two consecutive months. You already said that you have only missed one month one time in 3 years........you can do this!!!! It's not that hard, one piddly little show is all you need. Think positive Wait until you get ALL the facts before you get upset, really, it's a good thing, I promise

candiejayne

what they said, but look at it this way, you only have to do $150 every 2 months instead of $200. It only affects your recruiter and above if you don't submit that.

Ok you have calmed me for now.

When does this go in effect?
Apr 1?

Even though you are considered "inactive" for the month in which you do not turn in $150 in sales, you will not lose your lifetime sales until after 2 months of not turning it in.

It is aimed more at the Director level and above. If you do not turn in $150 each month, our levels are affected in that month.

You MUST stay positive no matter what. Only positive thoughts. You can and will be able to stay active. Even though the economy is bad, encourage people to host so that they can have a fun night out. Make sure that you tell them about the Power Cooking shows so that they can invite their friends to learn tips on how to save money in the kitchen. Now more than ever, our hosts and customers need us.

POSITIVE thinking will bring POSITIVE results!

Ok question with the recruit does it have to be a NEW recruit or if you already have one does that count?

pamperedlinda

If your recruit is active on April 1st, she will count

So you loose your career sales if you go two months still? I thougtht the video said with the new plan you did not loose career sales? OF course I had a horrible headache whileI was listening so I could have misunderstood.

If you do become inactive for a month of not submitting $150.00, does that mean you can't submit smaller individual orders and supply orders? I am sort of worried about this too. $200.00 every two months seemed much easier. I could skip a month and make it all up the next. Am I looking at this wrong? I am seeing it as $300.00 every two months to stay active (150.00 eac month).

pamperedlinda

Nope, you will go inactive after missing one month. If you go two months you will loose your career sales.

ChefBeckyD

You would become active again by submitting $150 - not $300. From what I understand, it's not a rolling $$ amount anymore.
Simply:

Submit $150 in a month, and you are active.
Don't submit $150 and you are inactive.
Submit $150 and you are active again.
Don't submit $150 2 months in a row, and you lose career sales.

chefmoseley

And then if I don't submit 150 within 6 months we rebuy the kit correct?

Chef Kearns

Correct. So for those of you that HATE your Director you can re-start in 6 months instead of a year. But you have to decide if it is worth losing everything you have now to do that.

momoftwins

But when you are inactive don't you lose getting your KCN and consultants corner access???? I have never been inactive in my 7 years of selling (haven't even had to use sales waivers) but have a few PC friends that have.

What is the downside/cons of being "inactive"?

crystalscookingnow

downside of being inactive is that you don't get paid. edited to add *I'm sure that if you submit something, you get paid on that.* You also won't count for your upline's requirements. If you are inactive for 2 months, you lose career sales. If you are inactive for 6 months and you decide to sell again, you purchase a new kit.
