Another consultant in our cluster has until the end of this 6th month to either turn in a show or be out of PC. She wants to stay in, but doesn't have any recruits and she's already lost her career sales a few months ago. She's thinking about letting the 6 months pass and resigning to get a new kit and paperwork and all the new consultant benefits. Anyone know of a reason not to do this?

That's what I'd do!! Why not?
 
Just as long as she "does it right"- have those starting shows lined up for her first 30 days, etc... :D Make it count!But if she's already lost her sales, I don't think there would be anything else left "to lose".
 
I agree. She doesn't have the career sales to worry about. I'm there. I had under $150 in August, and shows that canceled in September. I sent out a mass email to my clients to help me retain my consultant status with $150. I'm almost at $50,000 and certainly didn't want to lose it. I got an email to do a catalog show, and two orders totally $90. I've got hope.
 
I think in the six months she should be lining up shows so when she does re-sign she can have a bunch of shows and really get her business off to a solid start.
 
I've never known anyone who did it. I'm sure they would give her a new consultant number which means she'd have to have a 2nd user account in P3 so that she could still access the old info of past hosts/guests for warranty purposes, but still enter & submit new orders under her new consultant number. If she has her consultant # on her marketing material, she'd need to re-do all of that too.Otherwise, I don't see why not. ;)
 
I remember the agreement asking if you've been a consultant before, and what your number was. I think they might let you keep your number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for my Pampered Chef consultant status to go inactive?

When your Pampered Chef consultant status goes inactive, it means you are no longer able to sell products, earn commissions, or access consultant benefits. This typically occurs if you do not meet the minimum sales requirements or fail to maintain your active status for a specified period.

What are the benefits of rejoining Pampered Chef after going inactive?

Rejoining Pampered Chef can provide you with new benefits, such as updated training resources, access to new product lines, promotional materials, and potential incentives for new consultants. Additionally, you may have the opportunity to start fresh with a new team and a renewed perspective on your business.

Will I lose my previous customer base if I let my status go inactive?

While you may not lose your customer base entirely, going inactive means you won't be able to actively sell to them or earn commissions from their purchases. If you rejoin later, you can reconnect with your previous customers, but it may take time to rebuild those relationships and regain their trust.

Are there any costs associated with rejoining Pampered Chef?

Yes, there may be costs associated with rejoining Pampered Chef, such as purchasing a new starter kit or paying a reactivation fee. It's important to review the current policies and requirements on the Pampered Chef website or consult with your former director for specific details.

How can I decide if letting my consultant status go inactive is the right choice?

Consider your current situation, including your interest in selling Pampered Chef products, your financial goals, and your ability to commit time to the business. Weigh the benefits of rejoining against the potential loss of your current status. It may also be helpful to discuss your options with a mentor or fellow consultant to gain insight into the decision.
