How To Read the Commission Levels Chart


The Requirements for Team Earnings is really important.

Each month you have 3 columns you need to qualify in.

1) Personal Q
2) Personal Sales (includes Q's you've sold)
3) Team Sales (includes all your personal sales)



At the end of each month the computer will look at these three categories and pay you based on your totals. 

1) Make sure your Q is active to the right amount. Either $50, $100 or $150.

2) Personal sales are those you made at parties. You earn 10% commission on those.

      2 a.) Q sales are also included here. (Not your personal Q, but those that you've sold.) 
You earn 5% commission on all Q's that are Ongoing. You get paid a higher % for brand new Qs. 

For example: In the past 6 months you've signed up 50 Q. They are all for $100 each. That is $5000 in Q sales. That $5000 gets added to your Personal sales for the month.  And you get paid 5% of that in extra commission. These Q are called "Ongoing monthly Earnings."

     2 b.) Each month the computer will look to see how many New Activated Q's there are and pay you a higher % the first month they are activated. (See Chart on below).

     For example: You set up 5 Q's for $100 each, that are brand new this month. That is $500 in Q sales. $500 gets added to your Personal Sales total number.

 It's not the 5% commission that you are after with Q sales in the long run, it's the fact that each month the company will take the full value of that customers' Q budget and add it to your Personal and Team sales. This allows you to qualify for higher ranks fast and qualify for commission throughout your 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels. That's what it's all about!

The Q allows you to get paid over and over and over for making one sale! 


3) Team sales are calculated for you in your Downline Sales Report on the Consultant Dashboard called "My Office".



    3 a) Your personal sales totals are also included in your TEAM SALES! Your are the first member of your team.
 
    3 b) Even if you place an order for yourself for product, it gets added to the bottom line sales number and you get 10% commission on it. (This does not include your personal Q)


Questions that come up often.
Q) Can I reach the mentor rank without a team? 
A)Yes, sure!! You are the first member of your team. Everything you do counts toward your team sales too!

Q) Is it wise to build a deep team or a wide team. Meaning, should I put all my recruits on my first level or on my 2nd and 3rd? 
A)As you can see from the chart,  you don't qualify for team sales to the 3rd level until you hit Gold Executive. So keep your team close in your first level when you are starting so you benefit the most.

Q)If I have a team, am I taking money from them? 
A)Not at all! The company pays each consultant exactly what they owe them for their work. With the left over money, the company will pay you an extra commission for recruiting and training your team.

Q) Why do we get paid a commission for our 1st level as a mentor and not 2nd and 3rd? 
A)With research, the company has been able to determine that most mentors will not have a 2nd or 3rd level. It takes a while to build that up. And since they want to pay you the most possible, they put all the team commission into a 1st level; a level most new consultants reach within their first or second month of starting.

Q) What if I qualify on all these columns but at different ranks? Which one do I get paid on?
A) you get paid on the lowest qualifying rank.  So if reach a higher rank and you meet all requirements for team and personal sales but your personal Q wasn't set high enough, you get paid wherever your Q was set that month because it's the lowest qualifying. The company is really great at letting you make up that difference by putting in an extra sales for yourself to help qualify you as much as possible!

Q) What if members in my 3 levels quit? Do I just miss out on commission after all that work?
A) If a downline members Q is not active in any of your 1-3 levels, at commission time all the sales will move up to as close to you as possible. That means you get paid as if there are no gaps in your team. This is called Compression.

Q) Who do I ask if I need help understanding this? 
A) Consultant your Training manual, the Consultants Trainings and your Enroller. 

Tips:
Be sure to use the Commission Calculator to help you set goals and reach your highest potential. You can find it under "Training Resources" and then click on "Materials"
It does take time and dedication to move up rank, but it isn't impossible.

And work smarter not harder- Grow a team and sign up Q shipments. It will do the most for your bottom line and more quickly too!

Parties are the lifeblood of this company. You need to do them to 1) gain experience with customers, 2) learn about the product, 3) that is where your Q customers and consultants will come from!
