I went from being a super seller to not so hot after taking a new full time job. I know I can ask my director but I am a little errrked by her right now.
If I don't order some more by tomorrow night I will be come in active. What does that mean... can someone tell me more. What do I loss access to when in active and when am I no longer a consultant? I know things change April 1st I am just wondering about current rules.
Thanks in advance for the help :)
 
Jenni,

Current rule:

If you don't submit $200 in rolling two months (Dec/Jan) you become inactive and lose your lifetime sales so you have to start back at $0 toward your $15000 raise. You lose your registries and recruits too but you still have access to CC and your website and can order supplies but not samples. After being inactive for 12 months you have to resign but that will change to 6 months in April so you might as well say 6 months now.

I think I am going to order some of my wants... I am not ready to give up my career sales and my one recruit. I need to get on the ball and get some stuff set up for Feb and March. I did go to my cluster meeting and learned about the new plan that starts April 1st...
Thanks for the info Beth!!! Have a nice weekend
 
This just happen to me a month ago. If you don't want to go inactive and are to late. You can put a request in for re activation by paying a fee of $25.00 and this will keep your $$$ status and your recruit. I paid this in November and am so glad I did.Someone on this site told me about it. I went to my director and she was no help, sad to say I think she wanted my consultants under me....

Thanks for the help, because I just signed on another recruit....
 
Quick question here...I didn't see it in the P&P...If I should go inactive & request a re-activation for the $25 fee, does that need to be justified by illness, family crisis, move, ect, like the "grace period" states? Also, do I lose my PC bucks if I go inactive?TIA for your help & wealth of knowledge :)

You don't need a reason - just say personal reasons. And I do believe you may lose those PC$ so I'd check - and definitely TRY to stay active.

PS: The answers on this thread will change as of April 1, 2009. For instance, after April 1 you will not be able to do a retroactive waiver at all. (stated for those that read this thread beyond that date)
 
thanks...I'll see if I can find anything more in the P&P about the PC bucks
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a Pampered Chef consultant to be in inactive status?

Inactive status for a Pampered Chef consultant means that they have not met the minimum sales requirements or have not participated in the business for a specified period. This status limits their ability to access certain resources and benefits associated with being an active consultant.

How does inactive status affect a consultant's access to Pampered Chef resources?

When a consultant is in inactive status, they may lose access to exclusive training materials, promotional tools, and the ability to place orders at consultant prices. This can hinder their ability to grow their business and stay informed about new products and promotions.

Can an inactive consultant still sell Pampered Chef products?

No, an inactive consultant cannot sell Pampered Chef products until they reactivate their status. This means they will not be able to host parties, earn commissions, or participate in any sales activities until they meet the necessary requirements to regain active status.

What steps can a consultant take to reactivate their status?

To reactivate their status, a consultant typically needs to meet the minimum sales requirements set by Pampered Chef, which may include placing a qualifying order or achieving a certain sales volume within a specified time frame. They should also check with their director or the company for any additional requirements or support available.

Are there any penalties for remaining inactive for an extended period?

Yes, if a consultant remains inactive for an extended period, they may face penalties such as losing their consultant status altogether. This could mean losing access to their consultant account and any associated benefits, requiring them to reapply to become a consultant again.
