I have a few potential recruits. One is very interested and I am pretty sure she will be joining the PC this month. The other few are still thinking about it. They are good freinds so its not like I will lose contact with them. Should I try and sign them up now or wait until January when I get the double points and the recruit points for Disneyworld??
 
You need to have THEM make that decision.
 
If they sign now and don't qualify with their 4 shows or $1250 in sales until January, don't we get the points in January for the new incentive trip? This was a bit confusing. It sounded like this was true? If they qualified in December, then it is not counting toward Disney? Can someone help clarify for me?

You'll get the recruiting points when they qualify, so even if they sign now, you'll probably get those points for Disney. And there are no double recruiting points - it's sales only.
 
What Ginny said. It needs to be about what is best for them. If they need money NOW, then it is in your best interest to sign them now. I would talk to them and see what their needs are. Also, I would not mention your incentive and want for them to count for Disney.
 
Another thing is you can start them now and they will be on there way to possibly earning Disney too! Make it about them, not you!
 
sign when they want to. If you put them on hold, she might change her mind.

Thanks for the input. I have told them it is whats best for them.
I have also told them about Disneyworld and that when they qualify as a consultant you recive 2000 points towards the trip (read on CC).
 
I have a recruit who is signing in December sometime because she wants to get her points for next year's trip, which works great for me, 'cause I won't be earning any trip this year! :( Oh well, my own fault...just a bad year.

I agree with the others though, it's all about what THEY want.
 
New consultants who sign in December get 60 days for their 30 day incentives. I have three leads who now want to sign in December instead of in January!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I sign up for Pampered Chef now or wait until January?

It depends on your personal goals and circumstances. Signing up now allows you to start building your business and earning income immediately, especially during the holiday season when sales can be higher. However, if you prefer to start fresh in the new year, waiting until January could give you a clean slate and a chance to set new goals.

What are the benefits of signing up now instead of in January?

By signing up now, you can take advantage of the holiday shopping season, which often leads to increased sales opportunities. Additionally, you can start building your customer base and gaining experience right away, which can give you a head start when January arrives.

Are there any promotions for signing up in January?

While specific promotions can vary from year to year, Pampered Chef often offers incentives for new recruits in January to kick off the new year. It's a good idea to check the official Pampered Chef website or consult with your recruiter for any upcoming promotions.

Will I miss out on training or support if I sign up in January?

No, whether you sign up now or in January, you will receive the same level of training and support. Pampered Chef provides resources and training for new consultants year-round, so you won’t miss out on any essential information regardless of when you join.

Can I still recruit others if I sign up now?

Yes, you can start recruiting others as soon as you sign up. Building your team early can help you establish a strong foundation for your business and increase your potential earnings through team commissions and bonuses.
