Hi everyone,

I want to double check on this. If I have a show on April 29th but do not submit it until May 1st, the guests will get the April incentives, but the actual sales will go toward my May sales total, correct? I am wondering this because I only had one show booked for May and it was postponed, so my May is empty as of right now. I expect to be able to book something, but just in case, I would like to know that the sales from my April 29th show would be on the books for May (to stay active).

Please advise if I am right or not :)

Thanks friends!
 
The guest and host will get the April Specials. It will count toward May sales, but it will not go towards the April consultant incentive or the May consultant incentive. It will make you green in May.
 
If it is submitted in May, then it counts for your May sales as far as activity status and commission goes, but it won't count for the May consultant incentive (hold & submit 2 shows for the Fathers Day stuff.) HTH! :)

Father's Day stuff is April incentive!

Picnic tote with goodies is May incentive!

Thanks for pointing that out! I don't know where my mind was. :blushing:
 
I'm waiting for my Father's Day incentive to arrive. I've had 4 shows in April and I am waiting patiently. OK, maybe not so patiently......; )

I'm working on May. Not many days available, due to graduation and end of the year stuff. I have 1 party booked but need to squeeze another in there somewhere. I would love that picnic tote!

I want it too...especially after I found it that the DCB will fit in it (per my NED who apparently has her's). A great way to carry it to events/parties AND advertise beautifully too!
 
Did this policy change? I submitted a jan show in feb and then just last night submitted a February show. Today they sent me an email saying I had won the crossover bag. I am confused or are they?? Lol
 
Yes it did change for the fall season. Our incentives are given for the month we submit them in. It no longer matters what month the shows are held in.
 
Awesome! Thank you for the response, Kristin!

But we don't win them, we earn them.

Yep, things have changed. This thread was from 2011. Always read the fine print on the flyers from HO to be sure of the rules. I love that they changed it now. It used to trip up a lot of people that the show had to dated and submitted the same month as the incentive you were working towards. Now if you have a show at the end of the month and it gets submitted in the beginning of the next, you can still get it to go towards the next incentive (if there is one).
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Which month will my sales count for?

Your sales will count for the month in which they are submitted and processed. For example, if you submit an order in March, it will count towards your March sales totals.

What if I submit an order at the end of the month?

If you submit an order at the end of the month, it will still count for that month as long as it is processed before the cutoff date set by Pampered Chef.

Are there specific cutoff dates for sales to count?

Yes, Pampered Chef has specific cutoff dates for each month. Typically, orders must be submitted by the last day of the month, but it's best to check the official calendar for any updates or changes.

Will my sales from a party count for the month of the party?

Yes, sales from a party will count for the month in which the party is held, as long as the orders are submitted and processed within that month.

How can I track which month my sales are counted in?

You can track your sales through your Pampered Chef consultant portal, where you can see your monthly sales totals and any pending orders that may affect your counts.
