First off, not sure if I am inactive, and not sure how to find out if I am. The last show I had was end of April 2012.

I have a few people that want to place an order, and have orders of just over $200. The last time I placed an order, we were still using the Pamper Partner Plus, and I knew we were in the process of switching over to something different.

I was able to put the order into Pamper Partner Plus, but it won't let me put the guest specials in, or the host specials in. Was wondering if that is because I am inactive? Anyone know?
 
I hate to tell you, but I think you may no longer be a consultant. If you didn't submit any sales in May, June, July, Aug, Sept, Oct - that is 6months inactive. I would call HO to confirm.They did have a special where you could re-sign for just $25 - it reactivated your consultant status, but didn't give you a new kit or anything. Personally, most of us think that if you can at least resign with the MINI-KIT for the $80, you can restart the clock so to speak for Pampered Chef Dollars- Submit the $1250 in first 30days and get whatever the special is that month for new consultants (this month- it is either a free DCB, free new Covered Roaster, or Free Roasting pan with rack (the bigger one-without the lid). Plus you can earn the PC Dollars in your 90-days.But you may want to call HO to confirm your status.
By the way- we are still using Pampered Partner Plus. The new web system had issues and it is back in beta-mode for those who choose to still use it. If you sign up new again, you can switch back to the old by following these directions (Getting Started with the Pampered Chef -old web)
 
Bobbi's right. If you went 6 months without submitting at least $150 in sales in any month, you've dropped as a consultant.

You have 2 options:
  • Renew - for $25 you can go back to your previous upline and pick up where you left off. You will NOT qualify for the New Consultant Rewards or the current signing incentive for New Consultants.
  • Start Over - for $80 or $159 you can start all over. You'll have the opportunity to earn in the New Consultant Rewards Program, you'll be eligible to earn the current signing bonus for New Consultants and you can choose to go back to your previous upline or change teams & start new.

Just pick the choice that works best for you! :D

That is what I thought. If I want to pay the $25, to rejoin, how do I go about doing this?
 
When you follow the links to become a consultant, you'll see the option to "renew" ~ just choose that one. Your upline is NOT notified that you came back. So be sure to shoot them an e-mail & let them know that you inadvertently dropped & that you did the $25 renewal to come back. ;)
