HER:
Hello Sheila,
Longtime no talking. I have a question? How do i reactiviate my account? Tried to do it today because i'm planning a party for the 9th of May.
Due to pay cuts i'm no longer at the post office.

ME:
If you were happy with your previous recruiter/upline, and if you "dropped" off the roster May 1, 2011 or later, you can renew for $25. Just go to their web page (or PC.com) and pick the renewal option. You'll need your Consultant Number to complete the form. You'll go back to your recruiter (assuming they are still with PC ~ or the first one in their upline who's still with PC). You'll get your old Consultant # back. You do NOT qualify for the April Recruit Incentive or the New Consultant Rewards.

If you are past the one year mark or if you prefer to sign up under someone different, you'll need to re-sign for the $159 or $80 kit. Or if you think you want to hit the ground running & do really good in your first 30/90 days, you'll probably want to re-sign vs renewing. You'll qualify for the April Recruit Incentive and New Consultant Rewards. You can choose who you are under (same or different). The down side is, a new consultant number. You'll have to build a new user on P3 so that you can go back & forth & still access the data for customers under your older consultant number. Don't replace the data! Just build a 2nd user so that you can sign in as either one. You have the option of doing the mini kit or the full kit. If you really want the full kit, you can do it. Most prefer the mini if they are re-signing.

HER:
I already got my answer.
Last party was in Dec of last year.

ME:
Dec 2011? You should still be good & on the roster. Did you try to sign into Consultant's Corner?

HER:
no called them and they told me how to order the new catalogues.

ME:
If you submitted a party in Dec, then you were "active" with at least $150 in sales for Dec. Meaning you'd have to be inactive Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May & June, then drop July 1.

If you told them you needed to renew, they may not have looked to confirm if your time had expired or not. They may have just assumed you already knew you had dropped. If you did a party in Dec 2011 and didn't send in a written request to quit as a consultant, then you are still good. You should be able to go into P3 & place a supply order.

HER:
did already. My party is the 12th of May.

ME:
Then why are you asking about the $25 renewal fee if you are still a consultant. What am I missing?

HER:
didn't ask about the $25 renewal fee. Ask about being reactiviated.

ME:
I totally thought you were saying you dropped & wanted to know how to start up again as a consultant.

You've just been inactive for 3 months. You did loose your Career Sales at month #2. When you submit a show, you'll be "active" again. Since you didn't pay the insurance for Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr, they will take that out of your first paycheck when you submit your May show. They upped the fee from $2 to $3. So you'll see $2 for Jan, $2 for Feb, $3 for Mar, $3 for April & $3 for May. So $13 off the top, then you'll get the rest of your commission.

HER:
waht are you talking about?
I've never received a check from pampered chef.

ME:
You are funny girl. Okay, they'll take $13 off the top of what they owe you, then do your direct deposit for the rest.

HER:
again, i have to go back over my statements to see if i've ever received anything from the pampered chef or just give them a call and ask.

ME:
You've never been paid commission for a show?

I'm not sure how many shows you've done for Pampered Chef, but you should have at least been paid Commission on the one you submitted in December.

You earn commission on Commissionable Sales that you submit as a Consultant. That includes: Cooking Shows, Catalog Shows, Wedding Showers, Fundraiser as well as Online orders not associated to a show & individual orders that you might have entered that were not associated with a show.

Did you sign up for the PC Debit Card when you started? (They've since changed the name of that program, but you were a consultant long before the change.) If so, the account you use to pay PC when a customer gives you cash or a check is the same account where your direct deposits go on payday ~ but of course you only get paid when you submit Commissionable Sales and earn a paycheck. Some people opt to have a check mailed to them, but most do direct deposit.

Her:
i found where they paid me.

now how do i complete my training. I've been out of the loop for so long, that i forgot how to do it.

ME:
Oh, good. Glad you found it.

There's a whole online system for how to do cooking shows, how to get bookings at your shows and how to get recruit leads at your show. Just start taking some of the online courses available on Consultant's Corner. (Look for the "Frequently Visited Links" section when you first sign into Consultant's Corner & then click on the "Online Training Center".)

If you need a refresher on how to use P3 (Pampered Partner Plus), there's a training on that too, but it's over where you download the program .. sign into Consultant's Corner > click on Download Center > click on PamperedPartnerPlus® Support Information > in the left column above the links to download the program, is a tutorial that will teach you everything you need to know about entering shows.
