I little of bit of history first - then question

**I recruited a past PC director (stop selling in 2001) last May - she bought the Kit - borrowed some products off of me to host an open house - returned that - borrowed more for a few shows she had - returned those products.

Well, that was it, never turned in any shows, said that she had a 2 checks bounce, so she had to wait to submit the shows until she got the money and then I never heard from her again.

I called, left messages, e-mailed her, but nothing.

**Back in April - I recruited my first recruit, then in May this other lady - mention above - by the end of May - my status changed from Consultant to Future Director - Even before she did anything - the status stayed the same until September - then they removed her name from under mine and then I was a consultant again.

Well, last week while looking at my IPT - her name popped up again - this time with a show for $345.

So, my question is - Do I become a Future Director now or will she have to quailfy first?

Will this count for me to go to Conference in January?

I want to call home office about this but they are so busy with more important things right now.

I hope that I explained this okay for you all

Thanks for any input

You are a Future Director when you have 2 active recruits, they don't have to be qualified. Plus, I think you'll get the $100 FD promotion bonus (part of the recruit & grow) going on right now. Congrats!
 
That's right! FD is 2 active, not necessarily qualified. So you can go to Leadership! It may take a day or two for online registration to show up for you, but you can call the Training department and get details.

Where is the flyer on CC for that promotion ($100 thingy)?

Also, if for some reason that she would qualified before the end of December (not really seeing that happening) would I still get the 2000 points from her?

I am 1400 points under Level 1 - I might still be able to earn that, correct?

You won't get trip points if she went inactive before qualifying, which it sounds like she did.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if someone approaches me about joining Pampered Chef?

If someone approaches you about joining Pampered Chef, it's important to ask questions about their experience and what the business entails.

How can I tell if a recruit is genuinely interested in Pampered Chef?

Encourage them to consider their long-term goals.

What should I do if a recruit is not performing as expected?
