My Sept. was really slow - I had a repeat hostess who booked to get the cookware, but I am only at around 200 commissionable sales. I am worried about one customer because she was hesitant about one of the items she bought - if she decides to return it will it make me go inactive? TIA
 
Re: ReturnsNo, Pampered Chef doesn't take away our commissionable sales like that. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my September hostess hasn't submitted her party order yet?

If your September hostess hasn't submitted her party order yet, reach out to her to check in. Sometimes, hostesses may need a gentle reminder or assistance with the ordering process. Encourage her to finalize the orders as soon as possible to ensure you maintain your active status.

How can I encourage my hostess to submit her party order on time?

To encourage your hostess to submit her party order on time, maintain open communication and offer support. You can provide her with a deadline for submitting orders and remind her of the benefits she will receive from hosting, such as discounts or free products. Make it easy for her by offering to assist with any questions she may have.

What happens if I go inactive due to a lack of sales from my September hostess?

If you go inactive due to a lack of sales from your September hostess, you may lose access to certain benefits, such as commissions and discounts. However, you can reactivate your account by meeting the minimum sales requirements in the following months. Focus on reaching out to other potential hostesses or customers to boost your sales.

Are there any strategies to prevent going inactive in the future?

To prevent going inactive in the future, consider diversifying your customer base and hosting multiple parties each month. Stay engaged with your existing customers through regular follow-ups and promotions. Additionally, setting personal sales goals and tracking your progress can help keep you motivated and active.

What resources are available to help me with my direct sales business during this time?

Many resources are available to help you with your direct sales business, including training materials from Pampered Chef, online forums, and support groups. You can also reach out to your upline for guidance and mentorship. Utilizing social media to connect with potential customers and hostesses can also be an effective strategy.
