TIPS TO DEVELOP APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION PLAN
As we have discussed earlier that Multi Level Marketing is simply a business model for moving products and services from production to the consumer using a network of inde- pendent distributors with a multi level commission payout plan. Since distributors can recruit other distributors and establish teams that work together, the pay out plan is a bit complex too. In any MLM company the basic key to drive the MLM marketing force in the required direction to produce the best results is the compensation plan. Commission plans or compensation plans are how MLM companies reward a distributor’s production that drives the distribu-tion channel to maximize profits.
BASIC COMPENSATION STRATEGY
It is essential to highlight that every company is different and each has different commission plans, some of which appear complex or complicated too. However the underlying compensation strategy has the following basic components.
Retail Commission: As the name implies retail commission is the commission allocated to motivate the marketer to generate sales. It is the commission that a marketer will be paid on the number of sales he makes to his customers. Sponsor Commission: The next component of an MLM compensation plan is the commission that is paid to a marketer for the sales generated by its downline hence it requires the marketer to focus on persuading and generating other sales rep for sales promotion. Companies who want to expand their marketing and distribution efforts usually pay better commissions to motivate their marketer to bring more sales reps to the company. Training Commission: Few companies also pay their marketers to train the sales reps down the line. These marketers basically act as leaders and have adequate experience, knowledge and skills to train the new staff.
In addition to the above components it is also important to mention that MLM is all about leveraged income that is a sales repre-sentative not only earn commissions on his own sales but he also earns commission on the sales generated by the people he has intro-duced, trained and recruit as sales rep. Also it is imperative for marketers to beware of the tactics some times unethically used by a few MLM companies by developing complex compensation plans. In the up coming chapters we will discuss MLM scams and frauds and means to avoid them.
