Business Builder Compensation Plan with Full Dynamic Compression
Profit Centers
1. Earn 20% Retail Profits on all new product purchased.
2. Earn High Volume Producer Bonus of an additional 20% of Retail Volume on Individual Orders over $800
3. Preferred Customer Program
4. Earn 51% Commission Value (CV) through Nine Levels of downline IMA volume with Full Dynamic Compression
5. Share in 8% total Company CV Leadership Bonus Pool
Residual Volume:
Upon completion of the 60 day Fast Start Cycle and beginning on day 61 and thereafter, all new customers and IMA's CV is credited to the Business Builders Comp Plan.
Retail Profits:
As an Independent Marketing Associate ("IMA"), you have purchased the Nutrazon IMA Kit for $35, which contains everything you need to get started.
As an IMA you earn 20% Retail Profits on all Personal Commission Value (PCV) you create. This also applies to all volume created by customers and IMA's after their initial 60 days in the business.
High Volume Producer Bonus:
All retail volume produced by an IMA including that of their retail customers and for personal consumption above 800 GCV Retail Volume (Not including monthly qualifying orders) in any calendar month will generate an additional retail commission of 20% as a High Volume Producer Bonus.
This allows for increased income potential for those individuals that combine their creative marketing ability with hard work.Example: As long as the IMA has created their initial 800 GCV in retail value sales during the qualifying month, they would be eligible for this bonus. If an IMA has a total Retail volume for the month of $2,000, they would have received a 20% discount as a retail profit on the entire retail amount. The $1,250 retail volume in excess of the 800 GCV dollar threshold will generate an additional 20% of retail commission rebate for a total of 40% on that volume.Building retail customers is the foundation of growing a strong distributorship and this special incentive rewards that activity while increasing the overall volume for all the upline sponsors. In order to support this special bonus for high volume producers, all volume over the 800 GCV retail volume in a pay period will be assigned a Bonus Value equal to 50% of the wholesale after the initial 20% discount and the 20% High Volume Producer Bonus.
$2,000 Retail Volume less 40% = $1,200 wholesale
CV = 51% or $612 to accrue to the benefit of the upline
The Sponsor Relationship and Placement Relationships:
As an additional means for you to help others in your downline Sales Organization succeed and thereby help yourself, Nutrazon tracks two different types of relationships among its Independent Marketing Associates: the "Sponsor relationship"; and, the "Placement relationship":
- A Sponsor is an existing Independent Marketing Associate of any rank that first explains the Nutrazon business opportunity to a potential new IMA, and subsequently helps them to enroll as an IMA. The Nutrazon computer thereby recognizes a "Sponsor relationship" between these two IMAs and maintains it accordingly.
- Placement IMA is an IMA of any rank who is immediately upline from a new or existing IMA, and is generally responsible for the day-to-day coaching, encouragement and assistance of the IMA immediately below them. The computer system recognizes a "placement relationship" based on the placement positioning between these two IMAs and maintains it accordingly.
Obviously, the Sponsor and the Placement of a new IMA can be the same person, though they do not have to be. With this dual relationship tracking system, when you enroll a new IMA, you can elect to place the new enrollee under another IMA anywhere in the Company Sales Organization, (www.mlmlegal.com) and the IMA that you place the new IMA under will become the "Placement" for the new IMA.
THE NUTRAZON PREFERRED CUSTOMER PROGRAM
We recognize that many of the customers who will benefit from Nutrazon and would prefer the convenience of buying products directly from the Company but without the need to become a participant in our business opportunity. In order to accommodate these people, we have created the Preferred Customer Program. They can simply enroll through an active IMA as a Preferred Customer and place their first order for Nutrazon products (Minimum $40). Now, your Preferred Customers can be eligible for a number of exciting benefits as well as special offers only available to members.
BUILD YOUR LIFETIME CUSTOMER BASE THROUGH THE PREFERRED CUSTOMER AUTOSHIP PROGRAM
Your customers will find that the maximum benefit for inner and outer beauty and health will be best achieved through the use of an ongoing regimen of Nutrazon products. We can accommodate these Preferred Customers by automatically shipping a monthly supply of pre-selected Nutrazon products via our "Autoship" Program. Accordingly, enrolling as an Autoship Customer allows them to enjoy the convenience of timely delivery to their home or office at the Suggested Retail Price of their pre-selected products. (Minimum AutoShip order is $40.00)The exciting thing is that Nutrazon will service these customers on your behalf. That means no product to stock or deliver and no bookkeeping. And best of all, we will provide all this and more in serving your customers while still paying you a 20% retail commission on all their orders.
Management Phase
Management Bonuses:
As mentioned previously, when you begin sponsoring, creating and placing other new IMAs into the Nutrazon Business Opportunity, you will begin building a sales Group (Downline). The Nutrazon Compensation Plan provides Management Bonuses based upon the Personal Commission Value (PCV) of up to nine (9) qualified levels of IMAs in your downline Group. As your downline Group and Total Group Commission Value increases, you become eligible to advance in "rank", and correspondingly, the percentage per level and the number of levels in your downline Group that you can receive bonuses from also increases. (See Table 3 below).
