I just signed up and I have 6 shows (a mixture of catalog and cooking) lined up for March I am very sick (So done with the winter weather) and cant do anything in Feb. My question is, I signed up in Feb but since its the end of Feb do I still have to sell the $150 by the end of Feb or do I just do it in my first 30 days or do I count as inactive. If I will be considered inactive for Feb will that hurt me for any promotions or things like that or will it be no big deal. Please help me understand

Sorry if this isnt in the right area, its hard to figure out where to place questions like this!
 
I signed up at the end of October, 10/27. I did not submit any business until November. I did not have any penalties or marks of being inactive. So I would think you would be OK as well.
 
I would say that you will be fine. Even if you are inactive for Feb, since you get kit enhancement at the end of your 4th month, the April kit enhancement will not negatively affect you. That's all I could think of that would be affected.
 
I'd contact your recruiter or director and talk to them about it. Also, you'll want to check out the Consultant Policy Guide. It's posted on CC. It goes over all the details about your Kit Enhancement, and explains how you qualify to place that order. You'll want to check it out because it explains which months you need to be active in order to place your order.I don't remember the details off the top of my head right now. But check out the policy manual. There's so much info about the business covered in there. :)
 


Hi there, congratulations on signing up as a Pampered Chef consultant! I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling under the weather, but it's great to hear that you have 6 shows lined up for March. As for your question, since you signed up in February, you will still have the full 30 days from your sign-up date to meet your $150 sales requirement. So, you can still meet that requirement in March and it won't affect your status as a consultant. However, if you are unable to meet the requirement within that 30-day period, you may be considered inactive for the month of February. This should not affect any promotions or opportunities for you in the future, so don't worry about it too much. Just focus on getting better and preparing for your upcoming shows in March. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your upline or the Pampered Chef support team. They will be more than happy to assist you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and success in your Pampered Chef journey!
