I just noticed that my first recruits 90 days are up 1/2. Does HO send an email reminding them of this? I feel bad for her but she hasn't been very personal about her business (not coming to meetings, returning phone calls, etc) but I wanted to encourage her to the rest of the PC$ she can earn before her 90 days are up. But I also don't want to sound like I'm hounding her.
 
i don't think they do send a notice. I would simply drop her an email gently reminding her of everything she still has the ability to earn. She can take it as she will.
 
My recruits are always aware of their 30/90 notice since I do weekly coaching calls throughout their 90 ~ calls, emails, notes in the mail...keep those dates in front of them! Good luck!
 
I believe I got an email, (my 90 is up on 12/22). Every time I earn another reward (PC dollars) it has a date reminder on it.

I don't think it is pushy. Look at her IPC, and see how many shows and $ away she is from another $50 PC bucks and call her. Be excited and let her know how close she is to earning! I love to hear from my recruiter, and I keep close contact with my recruits. I find it motivating and helpful.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on reaching the 90-day mark with your first recruits! It's great to see that you are already thinking about how to motivate them to continue their success with Pampered Chef. To answer your question, HO does not typically send out reminders for the 90-day mark, so it's up to us as consultants to remind and encourage our team members. I completely understand your concern about not wanting to come across as hounding your recruit. One approach you can take is to reach out to them in a friendly and supportive manner. Let them know that their 90 days are almost up and remind them of the potential earnings they can still achieve in this time frame. You can also offer to help them with anything they may need to reach their goals. It's important to remember that everyone has their own pace and style of running their business. While it may seem like your recruit has not been very involved, they may still be working behind the scenes. It's important to continue supporting and encouraging them, but also respect their approach to their business. I wish you and your recruit all the best in the remaining days of their 90-day period. Keep up the great work and continue motivating and inspiring your team!
