I became a consultant in April but I became inactive because of personal issues. I became active again in November and it has been full steam ahead. I am just wondering if I am suppose to be receiving anything from Home Office. I had to call them yesterday for a planner and I haven't received any of the Consultant News. I know I can print them, but I am wondering if I am missing anything. Am I getting lost in the shuffle? Should I call them to make sure...or do all of you normally just print out the CN? Just wondering how things work.:confused:
 
I've never gone inactive, but I'd imagine that once you've reactivated with your $200 show that they would start sending you all of the promotional mailings, including the CN. I don't ever print mine out, I just wait for the CN to arrive. However, sometimes I get mine before others, and sometimes, I get it near the middle of the month! Maybe if you don't get it by the 15th, I'd call them and remind them to send you one!?

There have been a few promotional postcards along the way, but nothing much other than that. I'm sure you'll start getting the mailings about the new incentive trips after Leadership. We all always get those every year. Hope that helps...

I am active now....I have been active since November and haven't received anything from them except my products and supplies that I have ordered.
I think they have forgotten about me.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
 
I would call HO. I didn't get the CN and other things while being inactive, but once you activate they should start coming. I would call and see what is up!
 
I got the January Consultant News today. I'd call them.

Ok...I'll have to yell..I am active, I am active...I am ACTIVE!!! LOLOLOL
 
Yeah - call them right away - you should be getting the CN and you shoudl have gotten your calender/planner...I called them the day you reactivated and they did NOT have you showing as ACTIVE so I made some noise about it. You are now showing as ACTIVE on my tracker but clearly someone over at HO isn't connecting with someone else over there. Call up and make some more noise - I'll call today on your behalf as well.
