if one of my five is on leave? I can't find the info in the Director Policies online.

One of my consultants (my steady Eddie) had to take a leave and will be coming back in March. My goal is to promote March 1st and it looks like I have a good chance if I can do it while she's on leave. If not, I'll have to look at Plan B (April 1st).

Thanks!
 
Nope - they can't be on a personal sales waiver (leave) for you to promote.It's on page 8 of the regular Policies document:
Director
The next step is to qualify as a Director, which means you
must have:
  • at least five personally recruited, active qualified Consultants (not on a personal sales requirement waiver)
  • at least three months of active association withThe Pampered Chef®
  • submitted a signed Director agreement.
Congrats on being on track, though!
 
I don't know the answer, but I really hope you can promote! :p :D In the meantime, don't stop recruiting!! Good luck!!

I knew SOMEONE would know! My director wasn't sure.

I have 3 in the pipeline, but just not sure when they'll jump in (I'm working it!)
 
Ann is correct. I didn't get my call until the 8th of the month when I promoted because one of my 5 went inactive and they were waiting to see if she was putting a waiver in.

5 were active on April 30 but 1 went inactive May 1. I promoted May 1 because she did not place the waiver if she had done a waiver I would have had to wait for #6 to qualify in May. Sad thing is, all that stress would have been averted if I had told KNOWN and talked to her in April - she said she would have put together a catalog show for me to stay active and help!

Ask her!

So it is ok if you have 5 at the end of the month and one goes inactive on the 1st?
So let's say I have 5 all qualified on May 28th. Then as of June 1st 1 of those 5 goes inactive...will I still promote?

Please answer quick, my head hurts :)
 
I want to say yes because it counts for the last day of the month. WHatever your situation is on the very last day. So I would say yes but start looking for more to sign!!!

Good Luck and let us know what happens! Are you there?
 
I think you are right Kristi. This sounds like a scenario that happened to one of my cluster-mates.
 
Kristi Thank you!!!!
I have a total of 10 in my downline it is just getting all 5 qualified at once!! I thought it was whatever it was on the last day of the month but I just need it told to me 100 times so I feel better. Thyank you, thank you, thank you.

Ummm, if what you say is true I should be.....
I will totally keep you posted :)
 
thanks Linda :)
 
Good luck Cheryl! Hopefully we will both be making the same announcement real soon.....
 
All of my appendages are crossed for us both :)

Yes. I had that exact situation. Luckily I had downline consultants too so I still had more than 5 even without her so I didn't have to stress to find the replacement right away (but I did:sing: ).

Yes, you will promote. That is how I promoted. I totally wasn't expecting the call and had to call Richard back to tell him yes or no! He thought I was crazy. Little did he know...ha ha ha!!! :D:D
 
Oh thank goodness! Thank you all so much, you are making me feel way better!
Off to have a stiff drink and calm down :)

And after that get on the phone to start building your team stronger. Promote recruiting to your team too - they're all first line for you until THEY promote.
 
Great advice
:)

Leads to follow up on and Shows to book!
I'm Ready!
Thanks to all of you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still promote on March 1st if one of my team members is on leave?

Yes, you can still promote on March 1st even if one of your team members is on leave. Your promotion is based on your personal sales and team performance, and a temporary leave does not affect your eligibility to promote.

Will my team member's leave impact my promotion eligibility?

No, your team member's leave will not impact your promotion eligibility. As long as you meet the required sales and team performance metrics, you can still achieve your promotion.

What happens if my team member returns before the promotion date?

If your team member returns before the promotion date, their performance will count towards your overall team metrics. This can potentially enhance your chances of promotion if their contributions help meet the necessary criteria.

Do I need to notify anyone about my team member's leave when promoting?

It is not necessary to notify anyone about your team member's leave when promoting, but it may be helpful to keep your upline or team leader informed. They can provide guidance and support during the promotion process.

Can I still receive bonuses if my team member is on leave?
