Wrapping my head around the payment structure. The bots and real company say to be your own boss but by that slide you have to be on the second or third tier to "own your own company" so sole traders don't count huh?. Besides from what I can tell:
Once you get to green or green elite or whatever:
-you buy the products and get a measly amount of "commission" back so it's like your buying it on sale, the higher the level the more "commission" but you have to buy more
- then as you move up the tiers you need not only more recruiters, BUT everyone on average has to sell more
- then if you are successful you get penalised as you lose your best salespersons income until they get a decent sales person, but I believe you still need to get the same amount or more in sales. And you get paid less commission %.
- once they get a good salesperson then you take their commission, until they get a salesperson.
That's where it starts getting confusing for me on the first read. The thing is you can get to the top black tier but you restart on basically the first real tier each month so you depend on your recruits, and your recruits recruits staying in business and hitting targets and just one casualty (assuming you could build up that network in the first place) in your downline that has a bad month selling or goes the MLM equivalent of going nuclear and quits you're screwed. And you haven't anticipated this because you were the top tier last month so your base expenditure was $500 on the products when in fact you needed to spend only $300 so you're an unexpected $200 already.
I mean sure it's a numbers game, it's essentially gambling like roulette you gamble on yourself (1 person) you as one person can generally make only so much (betting on all numbers apart from 1 or 2)
Then you get some one else, you're a brilliant seller but are they you now have 50% chance to make more money but your outgoings have to go up regardless in anticipation.
You get 4 recruits that's 20% risk on every recruit being a good seller, and again more expenditure.
For some reason your best recruits earnings don't go towards your earnings, but you still have to buy the stock ( at normal price) and sell to them to give more money to the person who made you money.
Until essentially the top tier i think is your recruits have recruits, so 4* people with another 4 people that's 17 people all with a 5.88% responsibility for your income BUT it's not because your "first generation" recruit is responsible for about 25% of your chance to make a living (them plus their 4 recruits)
BUT WAIT just thinking about it whilst writing I believe you lose your recruit until they get a recruit or something which is a newbie so can't be expected to have the already sales experience or know how so you are exchanging a seller with a downline that makes you money, for somebody with no downline and 0 sales to their name.
And I'm not sure if on one level it depends on your recruits, recruits, recruit which adds an extra 16 people who you have to hope perform and don't leave, with their downline. So at that stage they all have a 3.3% responsibility with some more important others.
Everyone has bills and in a way lives to their means but you could so easily be top tier one month and back to the lowest green the next, making little money and considering they are your friends and family, you would consider most would live in a similar area so really you're all buying the products yourself because you have to hit a certain amount of pre sales buys or whatever they call them (taking money away from the downline in the process) and essentially mass marketing hoarding mostly the same people
