As far as I understand it, a Home Office Direct consultant is one whose entire upline (Directorship) is no longer with the company, for one reason or another. My Director, whose been doing this six years this summer, didn't know about HODs until last year!
When a Director (or recruiter) goes inactive, their downline goes to the next up, and when there are no longer any one "up", they become HODs. I assume that if a Director goes inactive, their downline goes to the next up Director, not necessarily to a recruiter.
