Struggling to Stay Active: Clarifying Sales Requirements to Maintain Status

[itsjustCarla]

To stay active, we have to submit $200 in sales every 2 months....I know this. I have a question tho, maybe someone can clarify:

I had over $200 in sales in January, less than $50 in February and only $194 in March....does this mean I only need a minimum $7 order in April to stay active?? Maybe I should call HO to verify?? If so, who do I call?

I know these numbers sound pathetic, but we are strugging with some serious medical issues with my daughter and I'm trying to keep my head above water and stay active as long as possible. My business has been put on the back burner and is slowly dying, but I'm not ready to give up yet.

thank you.:chef:

Yes, you only need a $7 order for April. Then you'll need that plus the difference to make $200 for May i.e. $7 in April makes $201 for March and April. $7 in April plus $195 in May would make $202 for April/May. So submit a small order and you're fine until May. Good luck with your daughter and God Bless.

Jodi's right. I'd suggest getting some friends to do Help Whip Cancer catalog shows for May. That way you can stay home with your daughter, contribute to HWC, and make your sales

I've got a really crazy May so I've really been pushing catalog shows and will only do a couple actual cooking shows. Ah....the beauty of being your own boss :love:

Ok I think you had better call HO because I think you would need to submit $200 this month since you did not last month or the month before. Probably could use some clearification since you don't want to go inactive.

There is no such thing as a "Quick Question" on this board.I predict this thread will be about 4 pages long (with several hijacks) before the Cheffers get done with pontificating about this topic.

This is not true. It is a rolling 2 months so you could do $100 a month every month forever and be fine. So If you only had $7 in April then May you would need $193.

Yep. $200 every two "rolling" months. Jan-Feb, Feb-Mar, Mar-April, etc. Your original question....you are correct in what you said about your sales!

Don't forget, you can take a sales waiver if need be so you don't lose your career sales!
