After we have qualified, then we just need to maintain $200 in sales total in a 2 mth period, correct?
If we do not achieve this, we then become inactive, correct?
If we decide to become active again, what do we need to do?

Thanks for any and all responses.

You just need to submit a $200 order to re-activate. As long as you haven't been inactive for more than a year. You will lose your career sales if you go inactive though.

You are correct about the details. In order to activate you just need to sale $200 in a one month period and you are active again! Just remember that when you go inactive your career sales revert to $0 and you lose any recruits!
 
You can go inactive BEFORE you qualify, if you do less than $200 in your first 90 days. If that happens, you would need to reactivate by submitting $200 in a single month.
 
I should know this...and I'm not sure where to post...so here it goes...and Ann will have the answer for me! LOL

What are the benefits to being "Qualified"
Isn't it something about being able to set up an online wedding registry...and/or individual orders on website?

I've got 2 new consultants...one just qualified, and one is on the verge. I want to know what the big deal is FOR THEM...I can't wait for my 2,000pts to show on IPT ! !!!
 
Qualified consultants can take individual orders on their websites (not affiliated with a show), and can set up wedding registries. That's the only real benefit. Oh- and they'll get 2000 trip points if they qualify without going inactive.But it's a big deal because qualifying shows that a new recruit is at least serious enough to fulfill their agreement with HO, and complete 4 shows or $1250 sales.Congrats!
 
Thanks Ann...I knew you'd come through in a short amount of time!
That's what I thought...nothing other than the website registries and individual orders.
...of course they get a pin from their Director...

I didn't think it was anything else...I was just really hoping.

I don't think any of my recruits have websites.


Thanks!
 
They can get some free website time - it's in the policies document (can't remember which page though).
 
Thanks for all of your wisdom and guidance Ann.........you're awesome.

For qualifying you get a pin from your director?
 
Some Directors do that. Merrill has a chef's hat pin available through the Director's Store that some Directors use as a reward for qualifying.
 
Thanks Ann...I was curious, b/c I didn't get a pin for qualifying...:cry:

j/k no biggie... :p
