Do consultants who go inactive just drop off your IPT? I have two of my first consultants who are both inactive and are no longer showing on my IPT. Or does that mean they called HO to quit the business?
 
THey are just inactive, my first recruit dropped off when she didn't meet the sales minimum, but she's not quitting.
 
It's probably b/c they didn't have any sales yet this year. My inactives aren't showing either & I'm guessing it's just for that reason. :) They would show for last year's ipt b/c they had sales during the year. If they reactivate, they'll show back up.

I just wasn't for sure because I had one who actually told me she wasn't doing the business any more and the other hasn't returned any phone calls since before the holidays.
 
If you look at 2008, they will be there. They will drop off after 1 year.
 
They drop off when the IPT switches to a new year if they are inactive on Jan. 1 even if they were active in December. If they go inactive at any time during the year they stay on until the next calendar year. ...of course this all may change when the new program starts.
