subject: Compensation Plans - The Unilevel [print this page] Network Marketing Companies do offer Compensation Plans to their Representatives, but, what is a Compensation Plan and how does it affect a Representative? Well, it's a Bonus Structure and one must use caution while choosing as an onion has many layers.
Previously, I have discussed a Compensation Plan called ' The Binary Program '. Today, I will talk about, ' The Unilevel '. This plan looks a little more complex on paper being you have a sponsor on top and multi-levels underneath. The idea of The Unilevel Plan is one is paid on the entire personally recruited ' Front Line '. Also, payment is made on the total amount generated by the recruits own personal enrollments and so forth and so on. Certain percentages are paid on different levels.
Like The Binary Program, some companies pay high percentages at the top end or the front where you earn money at the beginning. However, with The Unilevel, as the levels branch out it gets more difficult to earn money as your larger number of customer's wind up at the lower levels.
However, some companies do the reverse and pay out considerably less on the personal recruits and pay a little more on the deeper levels. This can be to your advantage, your income can grow quicker, but, you must have the numbers, of people, that is, in your levels to make it beneficial.
And lastly, there are companies who issue what is called an ' override ' over multi levels once a certain position is achieved, all the way down to the next person who has the same level or higher. Some Binary's are adding Unilevels and using basically the same concept. To sum it all up, you do have choices. Deciding which Company and Compensation Plan will be best for you is an essential part of owning any successful business.
