I signed up in late December and had the 30 extra days to qualify. Well New Year's Eve I broke my knee cap and it's safe to say I wasn't very mobile and didn't do much selling. I've had 2 parties and probably about $700 in sales. I have 4 parties lined up now but April 15th is the end of my 90 days. What will happen? Am I out of luck? Is there any extension to this or will I be removed? Please help!
 
You don't have to qualify within your first 30 or 90 (or extended) days. You just have 6 months to submit something or you will lose your status as a consultant. Now you will miss out on PC$ but that's just a bonus.
 
You don't need to do the $1250 in 30 days or 90 days. PC gives tons of PC dollars if you do, but you don't have to.
Hope you feel better!!!
 
Correct. You just get bonuses for accomplishments that you make in your first 30/90 days.If you went inactive for 2 consecutive months, you lost any progress you made & are starting over again. Try to stay active every month so that you can make some progress! ;)
