I have a host that is an inactive consultant -she went inactive in February.

She said she was thinking about getting back in - I told her that if she did, it would not be under me. She said she did not want to reactivate under her original recruiter.

Is there any way she could come back in under me? Other than waiting on a year to pass and repurchasing the kit?

I read on page 10 of the Policies and Pro - if a consultant would want to resign - submit a letter to HO and thier director.

Looks like then they would be free to submit a new agreement.

Anybody know?

I know the first two parts are accurate...you can check with HO on what you read.

I would think if they wanted to resign and loose all their career sales, etc., etc., that is their decision.

Worth checking out...I think she'd love signing up under the new program though...

If she's inactive, she's already lost her career sales. That's one big incentive to never go inactive once you've reached $15k.
 
True Ann - I knew that after I typed it but was too lazy to fix it...VERY long week. Thanks for clarifying...
 
There are only two instances where someone can change recruiters:

If they signed with someone and then realized that they should have signed with someone else and all 3 parties write a letter to HO saying they want it changed. There is a time limit on that I believe.

For example: Mary signs with Director Joan after talking with her friend and Joan's downline Consultant Sue about doing the business but she doesn't realize that she could have signed with Sue. Mary, Joan and Sue must all agree that she should be in Sue's downline and they all contact PC within the time frame allowed. OR Mary is Sue's sister/good friend and they talk about working together in their businesses. Mary goes online and finds a director and signs with her not knowing Sue won't be her upline. It's not always easy for people to understand how it all works if they are coming from the "outside". Again, there is a time period that this must be done within and all parties including HO must agree that it is the best way to go.

The other way to change recruiters is to wait the full 12 months and then resign with a new kit (new consultant #, pay $155 (or use kit credit from a show), start at $0 sales...). This is the way most people must do it. The first circumstance is rare and unusual.

New signers are allowed to cancel the contract if they do it right away. I had a person who got a catalog and decided to sign. Went online and signed up but then when the emails and calls started coming congratulating her for starting her business, etc. she said "this wasn't what I thought I was doing" and was allowed to cancel the contract - she had not gotten her kit, was hispanic (the consultant she "signed" under was not and the book was English). I am sure they would honor the buyers remorse even in other circumstances too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a Pampered Chef consultant to be inactive?

An inactive Pampered Chef consultant is someone who has not met the minimum sales or activity requirements set by the company within a specific period, typically a year. This status means they are not currently eligible for commissions or bonuses and may not be able to participate in certain promotions.

How can an inactive consultant reactivate their status?

To reactivate their status, an inactive consultant can typically place a new order or achieve the minimum sales requirement set by Pampered Chef. They should also check with their director or the company’s support resources for specific reactivation procedures and requirements.

Will an inactive consultant lose their customer base?

An inactive consultant may not lose their customer base entirely, but they may find it more challenging to engage with customers if they are not actively selling. Customers may turn to other consultants for their Pampered Chef needs if they perceive the consultant as inactive.

Can an inactive consultant still access their Pampered Chef account?

Yes, an inactive consultant can still access their Pampered Chef account. However, they may have limited functionality, such as not being able to place orders or earn commissions until they reactivate their status.

What support is available for inactive consultants looking to reactivate?

Inactive consultants can seek support from their upline director or the Pampered Chef support team. They can provide guidance on how to reactivate, tips for increasing sales, and resources to help consultants re-engage with their customer base.
