Is it best to build wide or deep in our company?


When you have someone on level 1 you can benefit from their personal sales and their level 1 & 2 (which would be your level 2 & 3).

When you have someone on your level 2, you benefit from their personal sales and their team level 1 (which would be your level 3).

When you have someone on your level 3, you only benefit on their personal sales (which includes any Q's they have) because their team is now your level 4,5,6.

With everyone building strong level 1's the whole team will benefit and naturally grow supporting all 3 levels. You don't need to beef up the 3rd level, it will happen naturally with strong level 1's.

And since everyone has the same chance to build unlimited on their 1st level the potential for a stronger 1, 2 and 3 will be huge!

When I say "benefit from" I don't mean you take anything from your team. The company pays everyone on the same commission plan; 10% one time sales, 5% Q, and possibility of 2% on the downline. The company will pay you for training and recruiting a team. That money does not come FROM your team, it's just BASED ON your team's performance.

This means that if you recruit, PLEASE train! If you don't, (we've seen this happen) your whole team disappears after time and that is so sad for those people who wanted to succeed but had no upline support.

Our company is built to support team building and not recruiting alone (traditional MLM). MLM recruiting usually involves selling product from consultant to consultant at very high prices and only few customers are involved in the process. E.G. $25 shampoo. 
These companies and teams survive mainly on recruit purchases. So when a few people quit the business the whole team might suffer.

With ThriveLIFE, when a member of your team (anywhere in the 3 levels) quits their Q, at commission time, the whole team will compress filling in the gaps and paying you the MOST possible. Remember you do need to qualify for certain ranks to receive added commission for your team. 

At Thrive LIFE, consutlants are on the Q, yes, but at reasonable, competitive pricing that match our customers. Most of our Q customers are not consultants, they are regular customers. There are over 10,000 consultant right now and there are consultants who alone have 1,000s of Q customers. 

Company stat: over 80% of our product is sold to customers and only 20% to consultants.  If everyone on your team builds sales based on residual Q volume that means that you gain added commission residually as well and advance in rank quickly.

You can earn up to 2% on all 3 levels as a Platinum.
Then imagine that all consultants and customers are on the Q below you. You will see that our volumes grow exponentially. You can also see how generous our company is to pay all of us on sales that are ongoing and not new every single month.

 Most will say 2% on team sales seems really small. But our sales volumes are huge because we sell directly to customers. Average party sales are over $500 in one time sales plus 2 Q sales in the company; totally around $1000 in party sales. If all those sales were Q residual sales, that Q sales would be commissionable to you this month and every single month those Qs remain active. Which other company sells that much volume of product at their parties? Some might but it is very few.

Two consultants have hit 1 million in sales and 1 consultant almost hit 2 million. Imagine 2% of even 1 million in sales? That isn't a little bit of commission. That is really something big. And most of it came from a team being active on the Q and a team selling the Q to their customers. And not only does the upline benefit, the team members who sold those Q's have that same added commission for themselves.

Building a support a team is key to EVERYONE on the team advancing in the business.

How to Create a Party EVENT! New 2013

http://youtu.be/hkmpDRCQ_z8

View this link to see how to create a party event for a hostess or a consultant with the updated Host Benefit clarification of 2013.

The 2 new items in the clarification of 2013 is to not book from yourself as a consultant or collect a double dip from your own orders. This is explained in this video.

When you follow the first rule of not creating a new party from an old party where you were the hostess, the double dip rule will naturally never transfer over from party to party.

Hope this helps explain a few things.

The embedded link has been disabled on this video. If your team would like to view this video, please just send them the youtube link or a link to this training blog.

Thank you,

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!
