Just a quick vent here...I called my recruit to remind her that she needed to sublmit $50 to remain active this month for June at the beginning of the month. She said, "Oh, is that all? I thought I had to submit $200" I told her that it was just $50 to make it sound more achievable because I know she has had so much going on in her life lately. (of course, don't we all?) Anyway, she really needed $48.50 technically, and she only submitted $48 according to my IPT this morning...I had even called her last night again to remind her and she said "Yeah, I submitted like around $50..." Because I mentioned that our team was close to the $4000 mark this month...(we are small at just 5 recruits and me)and I was trying to submit another $147.95 myself and was calling my customers to get orders too... :confused:

How frustrating!
 
Oy vey!!!
I am so sorry. :(
 
OMG!! only 50 cents.... That has to hurt! :cry:
 
Oh no! I'm so sorry.

Is she losing a lot of career sales? If so, she can request a waiver, it costs $25 but she won't lose her sales.
 
I had that happen with one of my girls before! With a ridiculous amount too! I know how frustrating this is!! I'm sorry, I feel your pain:(:thumbdown::mad::cry::grumpy:
 
Have her apply for a retroactive waiver. Talk to a supportive person in Solution center and they'll do it. they'll charge her $25 but she won't go inactive.
 
Thank would make me sick too!
 
A different way to look at it, is 1 - the consultant herself wasn't tracking; teach her how! I can say that b/c I have missed my 1250 more times than I want to admit due to not tracking. My recruiter nor director have ever taken me into CCorner and walked me through it; I've learned on my own.2 - you could order something from the consultant online to bump her up (I get it having one more keeps you at your current status, but sometimes I'm willing to give some $ to get some $) Spending $10 total for a $3 item with $6 shipping would earn $$ in overrides for the whole team.

The problem is we don't know that someone is short until the tracker updates and with all the last minute submitting that is done it's too late to help them.

As to your first point, I feel your pain. I figured it out myself too in fact my director would call me and ask how to do/find things. I always check the tracker and email the person who is close and tell them the exact amount they need and stress that it's COMMISSIONABLE, etc. I did have one who bought with her host discount (consultant as host) thinking it would get her over - even though I told her otherwise. I also call to make sure they understand. I have found that sending it in writing gives them a reference that they can check once they get off the phone. In doing this, I am reminding them that they can watch their own backs by tracking.

I also strongly encourage not submitting on the last day of the month. I tell them that when they do that I can not help them because I don't see their sales until too late so if they looked at the wrong total or whatever they are out of luck or they have to pay for an extension.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Did my recruit submit $50 to stay active?

To determine if your recruit submitted the required $50 in personal sales to stay active, you can check their sales status in your Pampered Chef consultant dashboard. This information is typically updated regularly and will indicate whether they have met the sales requirement.

How often do recruits need to submit $50 to stay active?

Recruits must submit at least $50 in personal sales every quarter (every three months) to maintain their active status. If they fail to meet this requirement, they may be considered inactive until they achieve the necessary sales again.

What happens if my recruit does not submit $50?

If your recruit does not submit the required $50 in personal sales within the quarter, they will be marked as inactive. This means they will lose access to certain benefits, including earning commissions on sales and participating in team incentives until they reactivate their status.

Can my recruit reactivate their status after becoming inactive?

Yes, your recruit can reactivate their status after becoming inactive by submitting at least $50 in personal sales. Once they meet this requirement, their status will be updated to active, and they can resume earning commissions and participating in team activities.

How can I support my recruit in meeting the $50 sales requirement?

You can support your recruit by providing them with sales tips, sharing promotional materials, and encouraging them to host parties or events. Additionally, mentoring them on effective selling techniques and product knowledge can help them achieve their sales goals and stay active.
