About Sales Volume

Each commissionable Blen product purchased generates Sales Volume (SV) points.  The number of SV points varies based on the product purchased.  In most cases, SV is set to the price of the item.

Sales Volume is the basis upon which rank qualifications and activity requirements are measured.  Your Personal Sales Volume (PSV) includes the SV from your personal purchases and the purchases of your personal customers who are not Consultants themselves.

Bonus Qualified

When you have 300 points of Personal Sales Volume (PSV) within a calendar month, you are Bonus Qualified for the monthly commission period, which means you are eligible for compensation on the volume of Consultants and customers in your downline.

About Bonus Volume

In addition to Sales Volume (SV), each commissionable Blen product purchased generates Bonus Volume (BV) points.  The number of BV points per item varies based on the product purchased.

Bonus Volume (BV) is the basis upon which upline compensation is calculated and paid.

Your Personal Bonus Volume (PBV) includes the BV from your personal purchases and the BV from your personal customers who are not Consultants themselves.

About Levels

A level is a positional relationship between Consultants based on enrollment.

If A enrolls B, and B enrolls C, then B is on A’s first level and C is on A’s second level and B’s first level.

For compensation purposes, your personally enrolled Consultants are on your level one.

About Teams

Teamwork is important for business building success.  When you choose to sponsor other Consultants, you will begin building a team and you will see how the work of one, benefits many.

Your team is the group of Consultants that includes yourself and all of the Consultants you sponsor and those that they sponsor, etc. all the way down until but excluding those with a rank of Team Leader or above.

About Generations

A generation is a group of Consultants with a rank of Team Leader or above.

A generation begins with a Team Leader or above and includes all of his or her downline Consultants down to, but excluding, Consultants with a rank of Team Leader or above.
