Multi
Level Marketing Plans:
Companies have devised
a variety of MLM compensation plans
over the decades. Here are few plans
commonly offered by different companies
all over the world.
1:- Unilevel Plans:
This type of plan is often considered
the simplest of compensation plans.
The plan allows a person to sponsor
one line of distributors, called a
"frontline."
Every distributor the person sponsors
is considered to be on that sponsor's
frontline and there is no limit to the
amount of people one can sponsor in
the frontline. The common goal of this
plan is to recruit a large number of
frontline distributors and then encourage
them to do the same. This is due to
the fact that commissions are normally
paid out on a limited depth, which typically
means sponsor can earn commissions on
sales between 5 and 7 levels deep.
2:- Stairstep
Breakaway Plans: This type of
plan is characterized as having representatives
who are responsible for both personal
and group sales volumes. Volume is created
by recruiting and by retailing product.
Various discounts or rebates may be
paid to group leaders and a group leader
can be any representative with one or
more downline recruits. Once predefined
personal and/or group volumes are achieved,
a representative moves up a commission
level. This continues until the representative's
sales volume reaches the top commission
level and
"breaks
away" from their upline.
From that point on, the new group is
no longer considered part of his upline's
group and the multi-level compensation
aspect ceases. The original upline usually
continues to be compensated through
override commissions and other incentives.
3:- Matrix Plans:
This type of plan is similar to a Uni-Level
plan, except there is also a limited
number of representatives who can be
placed on the first level. Recruits
beyond the maximum number of first level
positions allowed are automatically
placed in other downline positions.
Matrix plans often have a maximum width
and depth. When all positions in a representative's
downline matrix are filled (maximum
width and depth is reached for all participants
in a matrix), a new matrix may be started.
4:- Binary Plans:
A binary plan is a multilevel marketing
compensation plan which allows distributors
to have only two front-line distributors.
If a distributor sponsors more than
two distributors, the excess are placed
at levels below the sponsoring distributor's
front-line. This
"spillover"
is one of the most attractive features
to new distributors since they need
only sponsor two distributors to participate
in the compensation plan. The primary
limitation is that distributors must
"balance"
their two downline legs to receive commissions.
Balancing legs typically requires that
the number of sales from one downline
leg constitute no more than a specified
percentage of the distributor's total
sales.
5:- Hybrid Plans: Hybrid plans are compensation
plans that are constructed using elements
of more than one type of compensation
plan.
