Inactivity & Reactivation: What to Know

In summary, if a consultant goes inactive due to two consecutive months of commissionable sales totaling less than $200, they will lose certain privileges and benefits. However, they can still place supply orders and submit shows, and retain access to Consultant's Corner for twelve months. To reactivate, they must submit $200 in sales in one month. If they go inactive before qualifying, they can still reactivate, but the recruiter will not receive any points. In order to stay active, a consultant must submit at least $200 in commissionable sales every two months. If they do not, they will go inactive and lose their career sales and recruits. Leave of absence does not prevent a consultant from submitting shows and orders.

What happens if you go inactive? If you do go inactive what do you have to do to get active again?
 
Inactive Status
After any two consecutive months of commissionable sales
totaling less than $200, your status becomes “inactive.” An
inactive Consultant loses the privileges listed previously under
“Active Status;” however, they retain access to Consultant’s
Corner for twelve months and can place Supply orders
(excluding product) and submit Shows.
In addition, inactive Consultants forfeit the following:
• Career sales credited to them. They will revert to $0 in
career sales, which means their commission rate will be
20 percent upon reactivation.
• Personal recruits. They will be assigned to your recruiter
and will not be reassigned to you upon reactivation.
Consultant Resignation. If you wish to resign, please send
a written letter of resignation to the Home Office and to
your Director. Once resigned, you will lose the same benefits
as outlined under Inactive Status. Resignation dates are
effective on the first business day of the month.
 
Might need this too:

CONSULTANT STATUS
Active Status
To remain active, you must submit at least $200 in
commissionable sales in every consecutive two-month
period (current and previous).
As an active Consultant, you are entitled to:
• Receive information and mailings from the company
• A merchandise discount on orders for personal use
• Purchase samples and supplies
• Access to Consultant’s Corner on our Web site
• Weekly Bites — weekly e-mail communication from
the company. (If you don’t register an e-mail address
with Home Office, you may request a print version of
Weekly Bites for a $4.00 monthly charge, applied as
a commission adjustment. Contact the Solution Center
to make this request.)
 
To reactivate, you must submit $200 in sales in one month. Not $200 over 2 months, which is to REMAIN active.
 
Left the reactivation part out. Here it is:

Reactivation
When an inactive Consultant wishes to reactivate and
sell again, the following guidelines apply:
After 1 - 11 Months of Inactivity*
Submit $200 in commissionable sales in one month.
*Liability insurance will accumulate while inactive and be
deducted from the commission check.
After 12 or More Months of Inactivity
At this point, a Consultant must submit a new Consultant
Agreement and pay the new kit fee plus sales tax. A new
Consultant number will be assigned. The Consultant is
eligible for the New Consultant Rewards program. The new
Consultant can be recruited by the original recruiter or by
any other Consultant or Director.
NOTE: Consultants may submit orders while inactive.
However, orders of less than $200 in commissionable sales
do not qualify a Consultant to become reactivated.

Thank you:)
 
What if they go inactive before they ever qualify? I have a recruit that has done 3 shows and if she doesn't submit $200 by the end of this month, she'll go inactive without ever qualifying! (we've already put in for her leave of absence 2 other times!) That means I wont get my 2000 points towards my trip! WHAAAA. But if that happens, can she become active again?
 
Yes, she can reactivate. But as you mentioned, you won't get the incentive points.
 
:( :( :( :( :( :(

I really hope she miraculously submits by the end of the month! She's due to have her baby any day now! She's had a catalog show going for a month now...hopefully she can get it all together asap!

If her catalog show has been going for a month, then it is probably done. If it is very important to YOU for her to qualify maybe you can add an order to her show to make it $200.
If it is not important (I know how disappointing it is to not have them qualify) then let it go. We can't want their success more than they do.
 
  • #11
As long as she submits that 4th show even at $150 she will be qualified. I would think that she would want to do at least the $200 to stay active, but if she can get the cat show in you would get your recruiting points.

If you put in for and get the leave of absense can you still put in a show if you do one during this time?

YES! It just keeps you from going inactive and losing your career sales and recruits. You most definitely can submit shows and orders during your leave!
 

Related to Inactivity & Reactivation: What to Know

1. What happens if I become inactive as a Pampered Chef consultant?

If you become inactive as a Pampered Chef consultant, you will lose access to your personal website and your commission check. Your account will also be subject to termination after a certain period of inactivity.

2. How long can I be inactive before my account is terminated?

Your account will be subject to termination after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. However, you will receive a notification after 9 months of inactivity to give you a chance to reactivate your account.

3. How do I reactivate my account?

To reactivate your account, you will need to place a minimum order of $150 in product within a 3-month period. This will also renew your consultant agreement and give you access to your personal website and commission check.

4. Can I still earn commission while I am inactive?

No, you will not earn commission while your account is inactive. However, if you reactivate your account within 3 months, you will receive commission on any orders placed during that time.

5. Will my team and customers still be associated with me if I become inactive?

If you become inactive, your team and customers will not be associated with you and will be reassigned to another active consultant. This is why it is important to reactivate your account within 3 months to maintain your team and customer base.
