W/ some family emergencies, etc. I took Dec. & Jan. off from PC. I have sold $202 (before shipping & taxes of course) in Dec/Jan combined? I will still be active, correct?
 
Yes. You are currently still active. The new career plan starts April 1. If you have two months back to back that you haven't done $150 in sales then you lose career sales and are inactive until you submit $150 sales. The word "inactive" after April 1, just means you are not actively selling, that's all. If after 6 months of inactivity, you are no longer a consultant and would have to purchase a new starter kit.

Thank you!!!
 
Yes...but be aware the month it was sold....
If you sold 50.00 in Dec and 152.00 in January... for example....
you will need to sell at least 50.00 in Feb (really 48.00) to stay active in Feb.
Think of Dec/Jan total must equal 200.00 or more and Jan/Feb must equal 200.00 or more.
But it sounds like you have it all under control with getting back on your feet!! Just double check that you did have that in commissionable sales.
 
or ask for a sales waiver-[email protected] you can have them remove it if you do not need it--But it is a security ---
