I went inactive. :( I had a few shows cancel on me this summer so I slipped under. :((

Anywho, here's my Q for all of you.

#1 - Will I still get fall/winter paperwork supplies or should I just plan on purchasing some to get me started.

I have a second question that really doesn't pertain to that......

Do any of you remember them talking about a recruiting or customer "binder" which they were going to make the paperwork available and all you had to do was supply the binder?? I swear I remember something about it, but I can't find anything on the Supply Order Form.

Thanks in advance!
 
You have to be active to get it. I think they will ship it when you become active but I am not sure about that part. I just had to make sure my recruit did not go inactive, so, she could get hers.

Can't help you on the recruiting b/c I do not active recruit.
 
There is going to be a Theme show system for which we'll need to supply the binder. The pages are in the Changeover box, or under Theme Shows on CC.

When you reactivate, you'll get the changeover box. So if you turn in $200 this month or next, Tammi, you'll be shipped the box. Happy, happy!

Cool. Thanks Ann. But wasn't there also something along the lines of Recruiting and/or Customer Care??
 
I don't remember that. There's a new recruiting brochure, but that's not a binder item.

Nope- theme shows is the only binder thing I remember. :)

Did you go inactive last month? If so, you might want to request a retro-active waiver so save your status and commissionable sales. Especially, if you know your getting started back up. I beleive it costs $25 and you can't have used one within the last 6 months or so. You'll have to check your "Recipe for Success" for official rules but I'm sure that it's there, I had a few team member use one last year for certain circumstances...

Hum....I sure didn't know about that. I'll have to look into it. I would be a shame for me to lose my sales up to this point....but I was just going to grin and bear it. Thanks,
 
you'll want to check it out ASAP because I believe there was a cut off date for your to use it... so many days after going inactive, etc. If you can't find it, give the home office a call and someone should be able to give you answers
