if you remain inactive for a year, and then start back up again, does that mess up your previous recruiter's stats (ie:2 recruits=future director)?

if so, is that why they won't let you just switch recruiters?

i'm sorry if i'm confusing everyone.. i've got so much swirling in my brain right now..

thanks
 
I don't know why they don't allow you to switch recruiters/directors. I do know that you'd no longer be under that recruiter/director if you are inactive for over a year. It would be like you're starting fresh if you sign up under someone else.

So, yes, you would no longer be under that person and if that means she's left with one recruit, then she'd no longer be a future director.
 
They won't let you switch?I am so sorry to hear that! I don't know the answer to your current question, I'll ask around...
 
yes it does mess up the stats...one of the directors in my cluster used to be a senior director or something, but because one of her directors stopped selling, she is only a director again...I was so sad to hear that!
 
Once you go inactive you lose everything the recruits and you start back at $0.00 and that is even if you go inactive for 2 months then start back up again.
 
doesn't it have to be active recruits to count for the promotions? if you're inactive, and she's a future director, then she already has 2 active recruits under her, no? so, you wouldn't really mess her up there--you'd just hold her back one recruit when she's working toward director.
 
I take it HO didn't let you change recruiters? That is just terrible if you ask me!!

When a recruit goes inactive, yes the recruiter can lose their status.

BY NO MEANS SHOULD THIS MAKE YOU FEEL GUITLY!! IF it is better for YOU to stay inactive for a year, then DO IT!! I apologize if this sounds harsh, but pushy and disrepect of others peoples feelings are not good leadership skills.

Do what is right for you! Wait and have peace of mind that you have everyone here cheering for you to get the leadership that you need.

GOOD LUCK AND HANG IN THERE :)
 
When you go inactive, you are still on your recruiters team. You have to stay inactive for 12 months, then you can resign and buy the kit again.

The home office will not let anyone change recruiters or directors. It is company policy.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are recruiter stats in direct sales?

What does inactivity mean in the context of direct sales?

Inactivity in direct sales typically refers to a period during which a recruited consultant does not engage in sales activities, such as making sales, hosting parties, or recruiting new team members. This can impact their status within the company and may lead to a loss of benefits or commissions.

How does switching recruiters affect a consultant's performance?

Switching recruiters can have various effects on a consultant's performance. It may provide them with a fresh perspective, new training methods, and different support systems. However, it can also lead to disruptions in their existing relationships and team dynamics, which may impact their motivation and sales performance.

What are the common reasons for consultants to become inactive?

Common reasons for consultants to become inactive include personal circumstances such as time constraints, lack of motivation, insufficient training, or dissatisfaction with their current recruiter. Additionally, external factors like market conditions or changes in personal life can also contribute to inactivity.

How can recruiters improve their stats regarding inactivity and retention?

Setting clear expectations, offering incentives for activity, and recognizing achievements can also help keep consultants engaged and active in their business.
