VeMMA - Compensation Plan

Compensation Plan
 

The Dual Line Compensation Plan...

...is based on the simple two team building concept — a left side team (leg) and a right side team (leg). Since there are just two teams to build, this creates excitement as new Members join, one after the other, down team lines, helping more people benefit from the volume and creating greater leverage within the plan. This allows you the opportunity to earn commissions not only on your personal sales but also the sales made by other people that fall under you — no matter who makes the sale, even if they're placed under you by your upline!

When you enroll as a Member and place an Autoship order for at least one Vemma Nutrition Program you will receive access to your back office and a free marketing website. All enrolling is done through this marketing website. You will automatically be placed in one of your Enroller's two teams. Then, you can concentrate on inviting people to visit your site and begin building both of your teams. As soon as you qualify your business by enrolling at least one active member on each of your left and right sides, you are then eligible to earn Team Building income.

Best yet, the Vemma® Compensation Plan pays out a true 50% of the Commissionable Volume (CV) weekly, so you have the opportunity to get paid every week! Your monthly Autoship order will activate your membership for four (4) weeks including the volume week in which the order is placed, plus a one-week grace period.

Vemma features two ways to earn!

• Team Building Income
• Global Bonus Pools



Team Building Income

The Team Bonus
Qualifications:
Active with 120 Qualifying Volume (QV), qualified (two personally-enrolled active Members, one in each leg) and two additional active Members anywhere else in their organization (total of four (4) active personally enrolled members required).

Eligible Members who cycle at least once in the four-week rank advancement period will earn the Team Bonus in the amount of the difference between their TOTAL four-week earnings and $60 USD, ensuring $60 USD in earnings every four weeks that they remain qualified.

Fast Start Bonus
Qualifications:
Active with 60 QV. Members with rank of Platinum and above Active with 120 QV. Eligible Enrollers will receive the Fast Start Bonus on the first order of those Members or Customers whom they personally enrolled. Each first sale will contribute half of the order’s Cycle Credit or half QV and CV. Fast Start Bonus is subject to Compression. If the Enroller is inactive then the first eligible upline Enroller will receive the Fast Start Bonus.

Fast Start Bonus will be paid on the first purchase of any of the Builder Packages regardless of the order history. During the first 90 days, any Builder Pack purchase will pay Fast Start if the account has not already been upgraded to the Ultimate Earning level.

Consistency Bonus
Qualifications:
Active with 120 QV Eligible enrollers will receive a Consistency Bonus of 5% of the CV for each subsequent order for those Members and Customers whom they personally enrolled. Any Consistency Bonus that is generated, but not eligible for, will be added to the weekly cycle value amount.



Cycle Bonus
Qualifications:
Active with 60 QV and Qualified (two personally-enrolled active Members, one in each leg).
At the end of each volume period (week), Vemma searches down your left and right teams (legs) and whenever three sales (180 QV) in one leg and six sales (360 QV) in the opposite teams occur (sides can switch back and forth), Membersare eligible to earn a Cycle Bonus of
approximately $22 - $26 USD.




In order to calculate the highest possible cycle value payout, Vemma will set aside 46% of the commissionable volume (CV) to the cycle value each week. The weekly cycle value will be determined each week based upon total sales.

Presidential or above Members are required to maintain a specific personally enrolled downline structure to receive 100% of their cycle earnings. Please refer to the Rank Advancement section for structure requirements and timeline details.

Cycle Credit
Vemma Nutrition Program Purchased Fast Start Earned Fast Start QV / CV Consistency Bonus Consistency QV / CV
1-Pack Vemma $10 USD 30 $3 USD 60
2-Pack Vemma $20 USD 60 $6 USD 120
Basic Builder Package $60 USD 120 $12 USD 240
Silver Builder Package $90 USD 180 $18 USD 360
Ultimate Builder Package
$250 USD
additional USD 150 (Total USD 400), if enroller is Ultimate status.
360 $36 USD 720

Fast Start Bonus will be paid on the first purchase of any of the Builder Packages regardless of the order history. During the first 90 days, any Builder Pack purchase will pay Fast Start if the account has not already been upgraded to the Ultimate Earning level.

Members will not be eligible to receive most earnings until they have qualified their membership by having a 120 QV Autoship on file and one active Vemma Member on their right side and one active Vemma Member on their left side whom they personally enrolled. Members will be able to accrue volume in their profit leg if they are qualified. However, if an active member has four (4) consecutive weeks of non-qualification, the volume in their profit leg only will flush. For every consecutive week after the four-week flush that they continue to not qualify, no volume will accumulate on the profit side. Any sales that they have in the power leg of their organization will remain there until they have qualified their membership as long as they are active. Members can accumulate or bank a maximum of 2,000,000 CV in their power leg.

Members below the rank of Platinum are considered active if they have an active Autoship base order with a 60 QV minimum order every five weeks. Platinum and above Members are considered active if they have an active Autoship base order with a 120 QV minimum order every five weeks.

If a Member has (4) consecutive volume periods in which they are not active, all accumulated volume in both legs will flush.

At the end of every corporate 52 week period, all power leg volume in excess of fifteen (15) times the total amount of the member’s most recent four-week profit leg volume will be flushed, if that member was enrolled prior to week 27. Members enrolled during or after week 27 will not flush until the following year. At the start of Week 1, all Power leg volume exceeding the set threshold will be flushed. The threshold is equal to 150,000 QV or fifteen (15) times the Profit leg volume generated during weeks 49-52, whichever is greater. The most recent four week Profit leg volume is defined as any and all generated volume that occurs in Member’s Profit leg during weeks 49 through 52.

After 24 consecutive weeks without activity, the membership will be terminated.


Cycle Earnings Levels:

The cycle earnings levels only apply to the Cycle Bonus and do not affect any other areas of income in the Vemma Dual Line Compensation Plan. A Member has twelve (12) weeks to upgrade their account before their earnings level is locked in for that position. Either the cumulative Personal Volume (PV) from all packs purchased within the first ninety (90) days of Membership or a purchase of a builder package will determine the earnings level established for the account. Once they reach the maximum cycle level earnings on that position for four consecutive weeks, they will be given one new position above their maxed position. That position will have the same earning level limit, unless they purchase an upgrade package for that position. Up to two positions maximum are allowed per Member, four individual positions per married couple.
Earnings Level QV Range or Builder Pack

Elite Balanced Building Requirements
Balanced Building requirements apply to Vemma Members who are “paid at” Presidential rank or above. Affected members will be required to maintain a specific minimum structure within their personally enrolled downline on both sides of their organization to continue to receive 100% of their Cycle Bonus and Global Bonus Pools share earnings. All contributions from each week are used to increase the company wide cycle point value in future weeks.

Vemma Elite Structure Requirements:
Elite Member "Paid as" Rank Personally Enrolled Downline Rank requirement for Each leg* time in Which to meet requirement after Elite rank achieved % of cycle Bonus/Global Bonus Pools Earnings withheld if not met**
Presidential Star Platinum or above 12 weeks 10%
Star Presidential Star Platinum or above 12 weeks 10%
Ambassador Star Executive or Above 24 weeks 20%
Star Ambassador Star Executive or Above 24 weeks 20%
Royal Ambassador Star Executive or Above 24 weeks 20%
Star Royal Ambassador Star Executive or Above 24 weeks 20%
Pinnacle Leader Star Executive or Above 24 weeks 20%

*Personally enrolled downline rank refers to any member in your enrollment downline.

**If you do not meet the Balanced Building requirements for your ‘paid as’ rank and you do not meet the requirements for a lower rank, the contribution will be at the higher percentage. For example if someone is paid as Ambassador and does not meet Balanced Building requirements for Ambassador and Presidential ranks by their deadline, the total percentage withheld will be 20%. Those members paid at Ambassador and higher rank who meet the Presidential Rank requirements, but not the Ambassador Rank requirements will contribute 10% of their Cycle Bonus earnings.

These requirements are individual and not cumulative. For example if someone is growing quickly and reaches Presidential and then advances to Ambassador rank the next 4-week qualifying cycle, that does NOT waive the 12 weeks to develop a Star Platinum. Additionally, the clock will start for the Ambassador requirement 24 weeks from that rank advancement date.


PLEASE NOTE:
Maintaining the leader ranks in both legs means that although a member may meet the qualified pin requirement if the qualified level is not MAINTAINED on a monthly basis member will be treated as if the level was not attained and forfeit the corresponding portion of their cycle bonus income until it becomes qualified again. This new membership you'll build to the Star Platinum level and beyond, cannot be a spouse, any other family member or business entity that would fall into the 'dual interest' category.

Additional Bonus
In Asia, Team Members from the participating countries* shall receive additional 30% for cycle bonus. eg. if the cycle bonus shown in your Backoffice is US25.00, you will receive 30% more for your bonus, which is US32.5.

*Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan.
