Active Leg A leg starts with a consultant s direct recruit and includes everyone beneath that recruit. The number of a consultant s legs is equal to the number of consultants they personally recruit. An Active Leg is a leg in which any member of the leg (not necessarily the consultant s direct recruit) is active. To be active, a consultant must have at least $300 in Personal Volume in a month. Team Volume Team Volume is the total Qualifying Volume (QV) of all members of a consultant s personal team, down to but not including any Directors, plus the consultant s Personal Volume. Commissionable Volume Commissionable Volume (CV) is an amount equal to the retail price of a product less a consultant s 25% commission. n Level Bonuses pay on the Commissionable Volume (CV) of consultants in your team. The Level 1 Bonus pays on all of the people you recruit personally, or your first level of consultants. The Level 2 Bonus pays on the consultants your first-level team members recruit directly. And so on. n Advancement Bonuses are paid when a consultant promotes to a new title within a given period. The Managing Consultant Advancement Bonus is paid if a consultant promotes to Managing Consultant during his or her first two full periods (month of enrollment plus two full months). The Senior Consultant Advancement Bonus is paid if a consultant promotes to Senior Consultant during his or her first three full periods (month of enrollment plus three full months). The Director Advancement Bonus is paid whenever a consultant promotes to Director for the first time. n Directors also receive an additional 2% Team Volume Bonus on the CV of their entire team, infinitely deep, including those they ve already been paid on (at levels 1, 2 and 3). n All bonuses are paid based on your Paid-As Title.

BECOMING A LEADER While selling products and building a team can be very profitable activities with our new compensation plan, the most significant financial rewards are reserved for those who become leaders within our company. Being a leader means setting an example through your own work by continuing to sell products and building your personal team all while mentoring others to reach their peak potential and helping to build and manage teams below you. Being a leader requires commitment, effort and dedication. But it also brings tremendous rewards both personal and financial.

Downline Volume Downline Volume is the total Qualifying Volume (QV) of a consultant and his or her entire downline organization, including all titles. n Generation Bonuses are similar to the Level Bonuses in that they pay on the CV of the people in your downline. However, unlike Level Bonuses, which pay on individual consultants in your personal team, Generation Bonuses pay on entire teams that form beneath you when someone in your downline reaches Director. To qualify to receive a Generation Bonus, you must have a Career Title of Associate Director or higher and you must be paid as a Director or higher. n Once you reach the level of Associate Director, you are eligible to receive a Matching Advancement Bonus of $500 when a member of your personal team reaches the title of Director.
