I did not submit any shows in July... so in order to keep my career sales, I need to submit a show in August.

I submitted a $150 show last week. Tried to place my sample order, and it says I am inactive.

Now... did I have to submit $150 in commissionable sales or just a show of $150??

Because the show I submitted was $150 but the commisionable sales was only $91.35.....

Help?
 
It's always commissionable sales.
 
i think the commisionable sales have to be $150...but i am new and could be wrong, but my director said the guest sales always have to be $150 for me to be active.
 
Good question! Off the top of my head I'm thinking commissionable sales... since that's what usually shows on consultant connection. But I would double check the policies.
 
I believe you are correct, it has to be $150.00 in commissionable sales. That is probably the reason it won't let you order the samples.
You can go to Consultant Connection and check your stats and see what your monthly "sales" are.
