THREE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY

Transcription

1 Start Making Money THREE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY There are three ways you can make money with Amway: Available Retail Margin. This is immediate income from products you sell. Monthly Performance Bonuses. These are broken down into two categories: Your personal performance bonus. Your group s performance bonus. Growth Incentives: special cash incentives offered by Amway. The average monthly Gross Income for active IBOs in the U.S. was $202. Approximately 46% of all IBOs in the U.S. were active. IBOs were considered active in months in 2010 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or presented the Amway IBO Compensation Plan, or received bonus money, or attended an Amway or IBO meeting. If someone sustained that level of activity every month for a whole year, their annualized Gross Income would be $2,424. Of course, not every IBO chooses to be active every month. Gross Income means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses and cash incentives, and all non-cash awards, which may be significant. There may also be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation.

3 Monthly Performance Bonuses MONTHLY BONUSES As you build your business through selling products and helping other IBOs you sponsor do the same, you may earn: Monthly Performance Bonuses based on how much you sell. Monthly and annual Leadership Bonuses based on the sales of downline IBOs. As your sales volume increases and the sales volume of downline IBOs increases the potential for cash awards and business incentives increases. The amount of your performance bonus is determined by PV and BV. PERFORMANCE BONUS SCHEDULE calculated monthly If your monthly PV is: Your Monthly Performance Bonus is: % of your BV % of your BV % of your BV 1,000 1, % of your BV 1,500 2, % of your BV PV AND BV All the products you sell are assigned a Point Value (PV) and a Business Volume (BV). Monthly Performance Bonuses are calculated using the PV and BV you accumulate through your purchases, the purchases made by your customers, and those made by IBOs you sponsor. PV BV Point Value (PV) Business Volume (BV) Assigned to every A dollar value for every product. Amway product. 2,500 3, % of your BV 4,000 5, % of your BV 6,000 7, % of your BV 7,500 or more 25% of your BV You accumulate PV and BV on the products you order, as well as those ordered by downline IBOs and customers. PV determines your bonus percentage. The more PV you and IBOs that you ve sponsored earn monthly, the higher your percentage bracket. BV determines the dollar amount that your percent of bonus is applied to. Because bonuses are calculated monthly, PV/BV accumulates only in the month it is earned. Balances are not carried forward from month to month. Making Money 3

4 Performance Bonus Calculation Performance Bonuses are available each month and are a key source of income for many IBOs. They are calculated using PV/BV earned by you and downline IBOs. The examples below show how building a balanced business can help you earn more money. YOU WITH 3 DOWNLINE IBOS Assume that in one month: You reach 150 PV and $435 in BV from product purchased by you and your customers, putting you at the 9% bonus level. 3 downline IBOs do the same. Personal Performance Bonus Your group PV is 600 (150 personal plus 450 from downline IBOs you personally sponsored). Your Performance Bonus is 9% (see chart on page 3). Illustration Key You IBOs you sponsor/ train/support X $435 Personal BV 9% Performance Bonus $39 Personal Performance Bonus 4 Making Money

5 Differential Bonus Calculation Your Differential Bonus You can earn another monthly bonus, called a Differential Bonus, if you have personally sponsored and mentored downline IBOs. (To qualify, you need to satisfy the Customer Volume Rule.*) In this example, based on the performance of downline IBOs you sponsored, you will earn: $435 in Group BV (the difference between your 9% bonus X 6% level and downline s 3% bonus level) $26 Differential Bonus x 3 downlines = $78 YOUR TOTAL PERFORMANCE BONUS $39 Personal Performance Bonus + $78 from downline s performance $117 PAID TO YOU! *To satisfy the Customer Volume Rule, you must do one of the following: Have at least one sale to each of 10 different retail customers, or Have at least 50 PV of sales to any number of retail customers. For the complete Rule, see the Rules of Conduct found in the Business Reference Guide included with your Welcome Kit or online at Amway.com. Making Money 5
