Overriding Residual CommissionsSchedule of commissions earned from customer acquisition in your organization and Personal Customer Points required:

4

Over time, the majority of your compensation will come from the residual income of your customers’ monthly billings. Customer acquisition is the fuel for your business, creating long-term lasting income and by teaching other people how to do the same thing, you will build residual income for yourself.

Personal CommissionsAs you acquire your own, personal customers, you qualify to earn between 1% and 10% of their monthly bills. This percentage is based on your total number of Customer Points:

Complete customers must be received by 2:00pm ET on the first Friday of the month in order for IBOs to qualify for commissions. Commissions are released on the first business day following the third Friday of each month. Commissions are paid the third month after the close of the month the customer is billed.

Commissions on large commercial accounts and customers acquired by Affinity programs (such as not-for-profit organizations) may be paid according to a custom commission schedule that will be determined at the time the program/contract is completed.

†Platinum RVP is a designation that applies to North American IBOs only.

Example: (Average $40 Monthly Bill)

40 Customer Points = $40/month personal commission

20 Customers (totaling 40 Customer Points) x $40 bill x 5% = $40/month personal commission

60 Customer Points = $120/month personal commission

30 Customers (totaling 60 Customer Points) x $40 bill x 10% = $120/month personal commission

monthly rESiDUal CommiSSionS®

1-29 Customer Points = 1%

30-39 Customer Points = 3%

40-59 Customer Points = 5%60+ Customer Points = 10%


The second way IBOs can earn compensation is through weekly Customer Acquisition Bonuses (CABs) and monthly Team Customer Acquisition Bonuses (TCABs).

Customer Acquisition Bonuses – CABsCustomer Acquisition Bonuses (CABs) are paid when your newly sponsored Team Trainers become qualified within 30 days of their start date. In order to count for qualifications, all new customers must show a “complete” status on the IBO’s Personal Customer List. A customer will show a “complete” status when all the necessary information has been received and processed by ACN.

CABs will be paid 14 days following the new TT’s start date once they qualify within their first 30 days.

TC and Above CABs:Team Coordinators and above can earn CABs on all the new QTTs in their open line – and not just the QTTs they directly sponsor.

TIP: An IBO’s open line consists of all the IBOs in their organization down to the next IBO at their same earned position or higher.

RDs, RVPs and SVPs can earn TC CABs on newly Qualified Team Trainers in their TC open line.

Remember: Compensation is earned at ACN only when customers are acquired. ACN reserves the right to retract the payment of any bonus or commis sion if it is found that a customer used to qualify for a bonus or a certain commission level was not a valid billing customer.

1TCABs will be paid 14 days following the new Team Trainer’s start date, once they qualify within their first 30 days. Bonus payments will be calculated and paid weekly and reconciled after the close of the applicable calendar month. In order to receive TCABs, ETTs and ETLs must maintain the minimum number of personal customers to be qualified as a Team Trainer.

ExECUtivE tEam trainEr (Ett) tCaBAnyone who is an ETT during a month of this promotion is eligible. An ETT who has at least 2 open line TTs, whose start dates are during a calendar month of this promotion, and each of those TTs are qualified(1) within 30 days of their start date will receive a $100 BONuS!

Amount of TCAB Compensation

Monthly Team Acquisition Bonuses (TCABs) are paid to ETTs and above for helping new TTs in your open line get qualified within their first 30 days and vary from $100 to $50,000 depending on your earned position and the number of new, open line, QTTs in a calendar month.

RVPs will earn the higher of the RVP TCABS or RD TCABs each month. RVP TCABS will continue to be calculated weekly and any adjustment for RD TCABS will occur at least every two weeks. For Example: An RVP with an RVP open line of 100 QTTs ($10,000 TCAB) and RD open line of 75 QTTs ($15,000 TCAB) would get paid on the RD open line of $15,000 as this is the higher TCABs.

TCs and above with QTTs in other countries will earn TCABs prorated by the number of QTTs in each country.
