Does anyone know if consultants who are on the verge of being dissolved due to being inactive for 6 full months get any official (or unofficial for that matter) from HO?
 
I know they get an email. It's up to them to open the email though. (and this is where I'd like a smilie beating it's head against the wall.)
 
Not sure. I usually send mine an e-mail letting them know that their consultant status will expire at the end of the month. I let them know that if they've decided PC is not right for them, that's okay ... but if they still want to work their business, they'll want to collect $150 in commissionable sales & submit it before the end of the month to re-start that clock. Then I tell them if they are struggling with their business & would like one-on-one time to brainstorm ways to find bookings, I'm more than happy to help.After their time expires, I send them another e-mail letting them know that the mini-kit is still available and if they are interested in re-signing that they would qualify for the New Consultant Rewards again.
 
They do get an email from HO but like Becky said, it's up to them to pay attention. I also send an email similar to what Sheila sends. I also call if I don't get any response. Some have re-upped and others are now good customers and hosts. They appreciate that I don't get "mad ay them".
 
Yep - what Beth said. I have one consultant who signed again ONE MONTH after her 6 months were up. LOL!I have another consultant who was TICKED because he wanted to submit a show in the 7th month and he couldn't. I had sent him an email, and a voice mail, and he'd gotten the email from PC - but he'd already told me he thought there was too much "junk mail" coming from PC, so I think he had both my emails and PC emails going to his junk folder. Never opened any of the emails and then was angry because he wasn't told he was about to lose his consultant status. (Again - a smilie beating it's head against the wall...)Oh - and 2 past consultants have RSVP'd to come to my Past Host Party next week. :) So, they still consider themselves to be on great terms with me, even if PC didn't work out the first time around. There's always next time!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a consultant to face dissolution due to inactivity?

Facing dissolution due to inactivity means that a Pampered Chef consultant has not met the required sales or activity thresholds set by the company for a specified period. If these thresholds are not met, the consultant's status may be changed, and they could lose their active consultant status.

How can I avoid dissolution due to inactivity?

To avoid dissolution, consultants should maintain regular sales activity, engage with customers, and participate in training or events. Setting monthly sales goals and consistently reaching out to potential clients can help keep your business active.

What are the specific activity requirements to remain an active consultant?

The specific activity requirements can vary, but generally, consultants need to achieve a minimum sales volume or submit a certain number of orders within a designated timeframe, often within a rolling 12-month period. It's important to check the latest guidelines from Pampered Chef for precise details.

What should I do if I receive a notice of impending dissolution?

If you receive a notice of impending dissolution, review your sales activity and determine if you can quickly meet the required thresholds. Reach out to your customers, host a party, or engage in promotional activities to boost your sales before the deadline.

Can I reactivate my consultant status after dissolution?

Yes, in many cases, you can reactivate your consultant status after dissolution by meeting the necessary requirements set by Pampered Chef. This may involve submitting a new application or fulfilling specific sales criteria. Contact Pampered Chef support for guidance on the reactivation process.
