When you sign an ambassador under you that is the beginning of your downline. Explanation of Levels Within Your Downline Everyone you sign on directly underneath you will be on your LEVEL 1. Anyone your level 1 signs on will be your LEVEL 2. Anyone your level 2 signs on will be your LEVEL3 and so on. Points are earned all the way up to LEVEL 7. For each qualified ambassador that add to your downline you will earn points. Levels 1 3: you will earn 5 points for each qualified ambassador that is added to your downline. Level 4: you will earn 4 points for each qualified ambassador that is added to your downline. Level 5: you will earn 3 points for each qualified ambassador that is added to your downline. Level 6: you will earn 2 points for each qualified ambassador that is added to your downline Level 7: you will earn 1 point for each qualified ambassador that is added to your downline. *Being Qualified means that your Annual Membership as a Plexus Ambassador is current and that you have a Backup Order (AutoQualification) order in place. Each Qualified* Ambassador in your downline entitles you to receive Plexus Points depending on your level of achievement. At the end of each month, the Plexus Points that you have earned are added up and multiplied by the value of a Plexus Point for that month. What is the dollar value of a Plexus Point? The value of a Plexus Point is determined by dividing the total number of Plexus Points awarded to all Ambassadors in a single month into the total amount of money in the Ambassador Pool for the same month. The value of a Plexus Point will vary slightly each month based on the total number of Plexus Points earned and the amount of money in the Ambassador Pool. If each qualified member only does a minimum of $100 per month, it is estimated that the value of each point will never be lower than $1.80. Of course, as Personal Volumes build through retail sales and preferred customers, Plexus Points will Page 2 of 6

5 When a new Ambassador joins the company, they can purchase a Welcome pack from $99 to $199. These Welcome packs are super bargains and not available at any other time. 50% of the purchase price of a Welcome Pack is paid back to the Ambassadors as a Business Building Bonus (BBB). Here how that BBB is paid out: Sponsor of the new Ambassador receives 50% of the bonus, while 25%, 15%, and 10% is paid upline to the first 3 qualified Ambassadors above the sponsor. Tips to encourage customers to purchase Preferred instead of Retail : Cheaper if they want the Plexus Slim/Accelerator Combo then it is $15 cheaper. They can cancel any time after 15 days after the initial order. If they do want to cancel, the call to customer service is easy, quick and hassle free. The reps aren t going to try to talk them into canceling. For those of you that really want to get Preferred Customers and provide excellent customer service take it a step further: o Keep a calendar of all your preferred customer bill/ship dates. (The dates can be pulled from the reports tab in the back office I can walk you through gathering these dates if you need me to.) o Tell your customers that you keep this calendar and that you will contact them 3-4 days before the auto bill/ship date to see if they do want that shipment. If they decide they don t want that next shipment then you can call customer service and cancel it for them. o If you want to keep the calendar and manage these orders then it will be important to stay on top of it. Plexus Monthly Commission Structure (online sales counting towards PV) Commission is earned on PV from $100 and up. If you have $95 in PV, nothing is earned that month. From $100 to $499 the commission rate is 15% o Example: If you have $300 in PV for a calendar month, then you will earn $35 (15% on $200) the first $100 in PV does not earn commission. From $500 and up the commission rate is 25% o Example: If you have $900 in PV for a calendar month, then you will earn $200 (25% on $800) the first $100 in PV does not earn commission. 10 Preferred Customers buying Plexus Slim/Accelerator Combo would yield $900 in PV. Preferred Customer Bonuses By now you should know that there are two methods customers can purchase products: o Retail (one time purchase) o Preferred Method (monthly auto bill/shipment) Ambassadors earn bonuses for preferred customers EACH month they are a preferred customer. o Example: You have 10 customers that love Plexus and are preferred customers buying Plexus Slim/Accelerator Combo for 6 months in a row. That will add up to an additional $180/month in bonuses. Money on top of the 25% commission as described above. Plexus Pay Point Structure: Plexus Point Allocations For All Qualified Ambassadors (Must have $100 in PV / $100 in PV must be non-welcome Pack PV) in your organization, here are the Plexus Points that you can earn: Levels 1 3 = 5 Plexus Points Level 4 = 4 Plexus Points Level 5 = 3 Plexus Points Level 6 = 2 Plexus Points Page 5 of 6

6 Level 7 = 1 Plexus Point Income Examples If you sponsored 3 Ambassadors and everyone in your organization duplicated your efforts, your organization would look like the one below: Level No. of Ambassadors Points per Ambassador Total points Awarded , , ,187 Totals: 3,279 4,893 This example is just a made-up scenario to show you how the Plexus Points would accumulate if everyone who came into your organization sponsored 3 new Ambassadors. In this example, if you were receiving Plexus Points 7 levels down, you would have a total of 4,893 Plexus Points. If the Plexus Points that month were valued at $3.25, you would earn $15, from just your Plexus Point Volume.
