#1: What happens if I don't submit an $150 this month? Will I be able to submit an order next month? I have nothing on the calendar for April, but I have a Help Whip Cancer fundraiser scheduled for May. I know it is early, but I just wanted to double check ahead of time.

#2: Does kit enhancement go toward staying active? My guess is no.

1. That depends on when you last submitted $150 in one month. If it was March, nothing happens. If it was February, you would lose lifetime sales. If it was Nov-Jan, nothing since you already lost lifetime sales. If it was Oct you would lose being a consultant (you must submit every 6 months or you have to buy the kit again).

2. No and if you didn't submit in Jan, Feb AND Mar (or Feb, Mar & April) you can't do kit enhancement anyway.

I submitted over $150 in January, February, and March. So nothing happens?
 
If you submitted $150 in March, you'll be fine as long as you do submit in May. If you do not submit in April or May, you lose your career sales.

Any orders submitted as KE would not count towards your $150 commissionable sales for maintaining active status.

That's right. You can skip April if you must. I tell my consultants to try to submit every month because then you don't have to worry about losing anything.

Thanks! I am definitely going to try - just wanted to double check.
 
Do try....I've noticed that once you allow yourself to go inactive for even one month...it gets easier to do it again and again. Also a lot harder to get those bookings from a standstill....just trying to be helpful. =)

If you sell 5 trifle bowls in april, you'd be $5 away from $150...
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay active without submitting $150 this month?

No, to maintain your active status with Pampered Chef, you must submit at least $150 in personal sales each month. This requirement helps ensure that consultants remain engaged and active in their business.

What happens if I don't submit $150 this month?

If you do not submit $150 in personal sales within the month, your account may become inactive. This means you will lose access to certain benefits and resources provided to active consultants.

Are there any exceptions to the $150 requirement?

Can I combine sales from multiple months to stay active?

No, sales cannot be combined from multiple months to meet the $150 requirement. Each month stands alone, and you must meet the sales threshold within that specific month to maintain your active status.

What can I do to boost my sales if I'm struggling to reach $150?

If you're struggling to reach the $150 sales threshold, consider hosting a virtual party, reaching out to past customers, or offering special promotions. Engaging with your network and utilizing social media can also help increase your sales.
