I have been very busy this month and haven't done any home shows. I needed to have $200 in to stay active this month (I have shows on the books next month).
My question is I have over $200 in online sales from my website. Does that count and keep me active?? I think I does but I don't want to think it does to find out I was wrong!

Thanks-
Kelly
 
yes it counts :) As long as it is not towards the shows you have on the books for next month. The order they placed is an individual order just like if someone came to you and said I want to order the blah with the blah and the blah. Congrats on staying active :)
 
I would email Pampered Chef about this (so you have a written answer). Only 50% of our total sales can be from online sales to count for incentives. I don't know if that applies to staying active though. Please let us know the answer.

Good Evening Everyone!

I emailed my director and she said a sale is a sale and all of my online sales count. I believe her, she has been doing PChef for 9 years.

So I am safe for Oct. I have shows on the books for November, hope they all hold!!

Thanks for you help!
