How does it work when a consultant goes inactive before qualifying? I know she lost all of her Career Sales, but does that also mean that she has to start over with 4 shows or $1250 in sales in order to qualify or do the shows and sales she had still count towards that?

Make sense? Example: New Consultant had $320 in sales and one show in her first 3 months. She then went inactive. Last month she submitted a $360 show. Does this mean that in order to qualify she needs 2 more shows/$560 in sales or 3 more shows/$890 in sales? I know I won't get the 2000 points.

Thanks.
 
She just needs to do the balance to qualify. So, she would need to do the 2 more shows/$560 in sales. :)

Thanks, that was what I had hoped.
 
The way I understand it, she's now active. That's what happened to me - I went inactive before I qualified. As soon as I submitted a $200 show, I was active and qualified.

did you go inactive before you originally qualified?
 
The inactivity is just a "pause" in them qualifying. It's still a TOTAL (pre- and post- deactivating) of $1250 or 4 shows. I have a recruit who was (and is) very on-again/off-again. She signed back when it took 6 shows to qualify. Did a show or 2, went inactive. Submitted another show or 2, went inactive again. She was inactive when the new 4-show requirement went into effect, and became qualified while inactive, because she had submitted a total of 4 shows.
 
Yes. I went inactive before I qualified. As soon as I submitted that first show, I was active.

I think basically in cases like this, you go from new consultant to inactive to active. The whole "qualified" question becomes moot when you go inactive first.

Thanks Ann, that was my original thought (but I'm in a place where the answer to this question really makes a difference right now). I looked at her profile on my IPT and even though she reactivated last month there is not a qualified date next to her name. Hopefully this next show she has will bring to the level she needs to be at in order to qualify and then I'll see a date there. I too was assuming what you explained as our agreement says that we agree to do 4 shows or 1250 in sales - I just got confused as to if we had to start all over again if we went inactive before we met our obligations.
