Woo hoo!
I signed up my first recruit last night!
As I understand though I am not entitled to carryovers until I have two, is that right?
Thanks
 
You won't receive a 1% commission (bonus) until you have 2. However, you have to start with one first! CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST RECRUIT!!! Get her qualified in 30 days and get some rewards!

Only 1%? Wow, I thought it was more than that..
Okay, here is another question. I have another potential recruit out of the same show. I spoke with her last night and she is ready to sign up.
The problem is that she was partially recruited (encouraged to sign up) by the lady I just signed up. Got it?
So my new recruit is asking if she will get credit for this newest recruit (ie, signed up under her). I had originally said okay, since she did most of the initial recruiting efforts. But now am not sure what is best for both of them.
Can a new consultant "recruit" someone before they become "qualified"?

The new(est) recruit doesn't really care who she signs under, she is just ready to go.

Would I be wrong to sign her up under me?

Thanks.
 
New recruits do not have to be qualified to recruit others. In fact, they can earn PC$ for signing recruits in their first 90 days.The 1% override is what FDs get, but only on their personal recruits, and only in months in which they (the FD) submits $1250 or more in sales. The override goes up to 3% at the Director level, along with production bonus, which is a flat amount for each person in your first line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are carryovers in Pampered Chef?

Carryovers in Pampered Chef refer to the sales and recruiting achievements that a consultant can carry over from one month to the next. This means that if you recruit someone in one month, their sales can contribute to your overall sales totals in subsequent months, helping you reach your goals and earn rewards.

How do carryovers affect my commission?

Carryovers can positively impact your commission by allowing you to count the sales of your recruits towards your total sales volume. This can help you qualify for higher commission rates and bonuses, as your overall sales may increase with the contributions from your recruits.

Is there a limit to how long carryovers last?

Yes, carryovers typically have a time limit. In Pampered Chef, carryover sales from recruits usually last for a specific number of months, often up to six months. After this period, if the recruit does not maintain their sales, those sales will no longer count towards your totals.

Can I carry over sales from my recruits who are inactive?

No, you cannot carry over sales from recruits who are inactive. If a recruit does not meet the minimum sales requirements or has not placed an order in a given period, their sales will not be counted towards your carryover totals.

How can I maximize my carryovers?

To maximize your carryovers, focus on supporting and mentoring your recruits to help them achieve their sales goals. Encourage them to host parties, utilize social media for promotions, and participate in training sessions. The more successful your recruits are, the more their sales will contribute to your carryover totals.
