Does the double points (towards the trip) in February count towards new recruits as well as sales, or only sales?
 
Sales only...I asked the same question!!

Thanks for answering my question. Bummer...just got a new recruit! Shouldn't be greedy I guess! :o
 
I hear ya! I have 2 signing in February!!:D
 
Ok i'm in my second month and I know that the points are for for going towards the "trip" but what if you don't intend to go or can't go?? Then what becomes of these points? Also how do you find out how many points you do have?

There is a dollar amount you can take towards gift certificates if you don't take the trip. You can find out how many points you have by going to the consultant incentives area on CC & going to my incentives calculator & the choice is yours.

I just went on there... I don't think I will make it to the points they want for the simple fact that PC is only a hobbie so to say. For the 4 shows that I have done I have over 3,000 points.
 
Jaime,

I work full time and have earned the Level 1 award for 3 years now. I have had some busy months and some months with very low sales. It does help to pick up the double points and any extras like from recruiting or other ways. If you are only in your 2nd month and you have over 3,000 points then keep what you are doing and you will at least earn Level 1.

If you want to earn Level 2, then I have heard that the goal is 2 shows per week. Even working full time I don't think it is impossible but it is a bigger leap.

Just keep track of it through out the year and you will earn at least Level 1, which is either a $250 Gift Certificate or $300 cash at National conference for 2008. That is a decent return on working about 1 show a week, maybe a little more or less depending on your show average. The tracker will show you how many shows per month and the dollar value you need to earn it.

It is way too early in the year to say you can't do it. Say you can and you will.

I agreee with kim, we figured it out--if you do an average show of $400 once a week and recruit one person in the year, you'd be $200 short of level 1. If you're a new consultant, you would make that up once you qualify--don't you get like 2 or 3 thousand points for that? you wouldn't even need the recruit then!!!

try it---it's great!
 
I just qualified last week!! Yippy. I am working on a catalog show at the moment, have a fundraiser next month (hopefully) and then I am going to be doing a open house the end of March:) Hopefully I will get some bookings from that. I have two potential catalog host from the catalog show I am doing so we shall see where that leads me. I didn't mean to sound so negative, I am just not very "active" so to say. I think i'm doing pretty good so far.
 
I got 2000 points as a new recruit bonus in November. So will I get more points now that I have qualified?
 
Also I was just looking on CC at my points again and for this month it says double points... will they do that when the month is over?
 
You don't receive any additional points yourself for qualifying. The double points are this month for sales only, and should be added to the tracker almost immediately.
 
so you got 2000 points for signing last year?
 
Thats what it says on my thing when I click on November it says new recruit bonus 2000. When I click on my Show that I closed earlier this week it doesn't show double points it just has the total of the show??
 
Never mind I figured it out:)
 
Yes, you do get 2000 points when you qualify.

Oops- sorry for the misinformation on my part. I've not had a consultant qualify without going inactive (long story), so none of mine have gotten that bonus. My latest recruit should, though!
 
lol... so I will be getting another 2000 for qualifying?? Thats pretty nice of them to give me points when I signed and then if they give me more for qualifying thats great.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Double Points in Pampered Chef?

Double Points in Pampered Chef refers to a promotional incentive where new recruits can earn double the points for their sales and recruiting efforts during a specific time period. This program is designed to encourage new consultants to build their businesses quickly and effectively.

How do Double Points work for new recruits?

New recruits can earn Double Points by achieving certain sales milestones or by recruiting additional team members within their first few months. This means that their sales and recruitment efforts are rewarded at twice the normal rate, helping them to advance more quickly in their business.

Are Double Points available for existing consultants as well?

No, Double Points are typically a special incentive offered exclusively to new recruits. Existing consultants may have other promotions or incentives available, but they do not qualify for Double Points in the same way that new recruits do.

How can new recruits maximize their Double Points?

New recruits can maximize their Double Points by actively selling products, hosting parties, and recruiting new team members. Setting clear goals, utilizing social media for promotions, and engaging with potential customers can significantly enhance their chances of earning more points.

What happens to the Double Points after the promotional period ends?

Once the promotional period for Double Points ends, any points earned during that time will still count towards the consultant's overall point total. However, they will revert to the standard point earning rate for future sales and recruitment efforts unless another promotion is announced.
