New Consultant May Not Qualify...?

[dme.grant]

Hi everyone. I'm sorry if this has already been discussed on the forum, but I couldn't find anything with just a precursory scroll through.

I signed a new consultant (my first!) at the beginning of October. So far she has submitted one $200 show (after MUCH encouragement and training on my part and my recruiters too). I really don't think that she is going to qualify by the end of her 90 days. She says she is working to collect orders and is trying to get bookings, but so far nothing beyond that first $200. I've told her several times to hold an open house and invite everyone she knows, which would be wonderful since they just moved into a brand new house and she knows TONS of people, but she just won't do it!!!

Unfortunately we live in different states, so I can't be there to sit down with her face to face. Fortunately, she is my MIL, so she always answers my calls, and I do feel that she isn't trying to dodge me at all.

Anyway, here is my question. What happens if she doesn't qualify (i.e.: $1250 in 90 days), but still submits $150 each month? Not sure what to be telling her right now!

She wont get any incentive bonuses, but you'll still be paid as a Sen Consultant as long as she remains active. Once she submits $1250 you'll get your $25 (or is it $10?) bonus. Just hang in there!

Yeah, just encourage her to continue doing what she can.

I was under the impression that they have to submit the $1250 in the first 90 days in order for us to get the $25 bonus.

Yes, they do.

As long as she stays active with $150 every other month, she will keep building career sales. Once she hits $1,250 career sales, then she counts as a qualified recruit. You will then get incentive trip points for her when she qualifies. So, if she qualifies in 2011, you get points for the 2011 incentive trip even though she signed up in 2010.

I did not have $1250 in sales when I qualified. The back door to qualifying is to submit 4 shows which is how I qualified. $1250 in the first month is a teaser to get you excited and to motivate you. All the literature says you must have $1250 in sales or 4 shows to qualify in 90 days.

They took out the 4 shows part I think. Now it is only $1250.

Yes, the 4 shows part got eliminated almost 2 years ago. It's $1,250 in career sales. If they go inactive 2 months or more and reset their career sales to 0, then they have to climb again.

I am in the same boat with one of my consultants, the best advice I was given is "match their effort". Don't spend too much time fretting about this one, spend more energy finding the next one. If all this one does is barely stay active, it still helps you keep your title and pay scale. If they only want to submit one show a month, you only touch them once a month and spend more of your time in business generating or team building activities. Sometimes it really is just best to "bless and release"....

I found this to be very helpful. I recently, became more interested in the recruiting part of PChef and want to build my team and this will help me stay focused and not overwhelm myself with what they are doing (or not doing).

Thanks a ton

Yupp, I have the same problem with my first also. I do exactly that, match their effort. Especially since I now have 3 consultants under me, so I do not need to count her to maintain my TL status. I just got the double digit recruiting CD from my director, with Jillian Grant on it. There is another director on it, and she says her goal every month is recruit 2, qualify 1. I think that's a great way to go about it! Stay positive, and focus on recruiting new leads who are super excited and motivated!!
