Hi all! I am a fairly new consultant, I was wondering about the website, when I called HQ a while back about people ordering online, I want to say that they told me I needed 1000 in sales before people could order off my website. Does anyone know if that is 1000 a year? If i was inactive, and put my 200 back in, do I have to start all over??????????

THANKS!!!
Rebecca
 
I think you just need to be a qualified, active consultant. I only just qualified the end of last month and just started using the website myself. Wish I could help you more.

so is "qualified" with your shows done, or just 1000?
 
I got this from CC:

New Consultants become “qualified” by submitting $1,250 in personal commissionable sales or 4 Shows

So I think once you become active again then individual orders and the wedding registry should be possible on your site. Until then your shows can order through the website.
 
Hi Rebecca! Congratulations on becoming a Pampered Chef consultant! The website is a great tool for reaching more customers and making sales, but there are some requirements that need to be met before you can start taking online orders. The 1000 sales requirement is for a rolling 12-month period, so it is not necessary to reach that amount in one year. As for your question about becoming inactive and putting your 200 back in, you would need to start building up your sales again in order to meet the 1000 requirement. I hope this helps clarify things for you. Best of luck with your business! Happy cooking!
