On the first of each month we look at your personal sales and the performance of your team in the previous month to determine which rank of the Compensation Plan you achieved. You will then be paid according to that rank for the entire month. Your personal and team performance is thoroughly reviewed on the first of every month and your Paid-At Rank is adjusted up or down accordingly.

When you achieve a Paid-At Rank for two consecutive months, you earn that rank as your Recognition Title.
