Is this consultant about to go inactive? This is her sales for the last few months:

Dec - $263.92
Jan - $21.15
Feb - $150.30

If I'm understanding this correctly she needs @ $19 so that she won't go inactive - right? And, the Jan/Feb sales are from on-line orders - that counts too - right?
 
Correct

Yes she actually needs $28.55 to stay active. And yes online orders count.

Debbie :D
 
I believe it's any commissionable sale.
 
She needs $200 in commissionable sales... Here is what our Policies & Procedures says:

Inactive Status
After any two consecutive months of commissionable sales
totaling less than $200, your status becomes “inactive.” An
inactive Consultant loses the privileges listed previously under
“Active Status;” however, they retain access to Consultant’s
Corner for twelve months and can place Supply orders
(excluding product) and submit Shows.

Reactivation
When an inactive Consultant wishes to reactivate and
sell again, the following guidelines apply:
After 1 - 11 Months of Inactivity*
Submit $200 in commissionable sales in one month.
*Liability insurance will accumulate while inactive and be
deducted from the commission check.
After 12 or More Months of Inactivity
At this point, a Consultant must submit a new Independent
Consultant Agreement and pay the new kit fee plus sales
tax. A new Consultant number will be assigned. The
Consultant is eligible for the New Consultant Rewards
program. The new Consultant can be recruited by the
original recruiter or by any other Consultant or Director.
NOTE: Consultants may submit orders while inactive.
However, orders of less than $200 in commissionable sales
do not qualify a Consultant to become reactivated.
 
Debbie's got it - her total commissionable sales (including online) for Jan. and Feb. must equal $200. Since she has $171.45 ($21.15 + 150.30), then she needs $28.55 before the end of Feb. to stay active.
