Compensation Plan Overview
The foundation of the company’s compensation is a combination of retail sales and development of a sales group committed to retail sales.

ZoneHealth offers one of the fairest and most generous compensation plans in the Internet Affiliate Marketing Industry. In fact, there are several different ways you can earn money through our compensation plan.

Understanding The Basics
The ZoneHealth compensation plan offers three ways that you can earn money.

1. Retail Profits
2. Commissions based on development and management of your sales group
3. Additional bonuses based on the success of your sales group

Section #1 - Retail Profits
Retail Profit is the difference between what you pay as an Associate for a product and what your retail customer pays for that product.

Customer Direct Sales
When your customers purchase retail-priced products directly from the company either over the phone or on your Replicator site, you will receive the Retail Profit in your monthly commission payment. This is the difference between the wholesale and retail price. For example, if a customer purchases a retail-priced product at $50.00, and the wholesale price is $40.00; your retail profit is $10.00.

Personal Inventory Sales
When you purchase products at wholesale prices, you can resell these products at the suggested retail prices and earn up to a 25% Retail Profit. For example, if you purchase a wholesale-priced product at $40.00 and sell it at the retail price of $50.00, your retail profit is $10.00.

Under no circumstances should you buy more products than you can resell or use in one month.

 

Section #2 - Building a Sales Organization
Building a sales organization is the key to harnessing the full power of the Internet Affiliate Marketing Business Model.

There are only so many hours any one individual can work in a week. With your help and support, other Associates in your organization can build their own organizations, which could mean thousands of combined work hours. The best part is that you get paid on a percentage of the total sales your organization generates!  This is in addition to what you can earn on your own retail sales. So it is easy to see how over time, as your sales organization grows, you can earn more money with an organization than you could ever earn by yourself. You can also see how building an organization solves the problem of earning money even when you are not working.

The compensation program rewards you for your efforts in building your own organization of Associates. 

 

Uni-Level Compensation Commissions
You can earn commissions down through six levels of your organization when you qualify. The commission levels you earn are determined by your rank.  Level 1 (LV 1) would be all the Associates you have personally sponsored on your first level and includes any Associates placed on your first level as well. You begin by earning a full 10% on every order placed by your first level once you meet the monthly Personal Volume and Group Volume qualification. Your goal is to qualify as rapidly as possible for the Associate level where you earn 10% of orders placed by Associates in your sales organization.  Reaching higher ranks such Senior Associate, Manager, Executive Manager, Director, Executive Director and Presidential Director will require more effort on your part, but with increasing financial rewards. 

 

The ZoneHealth compensation program uses a compression mechanism to ensure that the maximum commissions are paid to its Associates.   Compression means if you have an Associate in your organization who does not purchase any product in a given month, then that Associate will be skipped in the calculation of your monthly commissions and the next rank of Associate (or higher) in that leg of your organization is elevated to take their place. This means the Associate who is not purchasing product that month will not count against you in your monthly commission calculation. This is to ensure you are not penalized for having non-performers in your organization and that maximum commissions are paid to you.

 

 

Requirement and Advancement
An Associate must achieve the following when qualifying for a rank.

1. Rank advancements must be achieved by the end of the last calendar day of a calendar month
2. Have a minimum Personal Volume (PV) of 100
3. Meet the specific Group Volume (GV) requirements of that specific rank
4. Meet the required number of qualified legs for each rank. As an example, a Manager leg means a Manager Associate can be found anywhere in a leg for that leg to qualify.
5. For purposes of commissions, the rank the Associate achieves, by the end of the month, is the rank they will be paid for that entire month.
6. Once an Associate has achieved a rank, they will always hold that rank. However, their commissions will reflect what they have actually achieved (GV) in any calendar month, regardless of their last rank

RANK	PERSONAL VOLUME	GROUP VOLUME
Associate	100 Monthly PV	240 GV
Senior Associate	100 Monthly PV	500 GV
Manager	100 Monthly PV	1500 GV with at least two Associates or higher legs.

Definitions

 

ACTIVE STATUS
An Associate is considered active when their Personal Volume (volume from their personal orders combined with volume from their online customers orders) is a minimum of 100 PV. The monthly eligibility to earn commissions and rank advancement requires a minimum 100 PV.

 

AUTOSHIP
For ease and reliability, Associates can choose to have product automatically shipped to them on a monthly basis. An Associate may select the particular day the auto ship product is to be shipped (no later than the 25^th of the month). An Associate may cancel or alter their order within two days of the day of the month they have selected. Auto ship is used to provide a constant source of product for personal consumption, sampling, retailing and qualification purposes.

 

LEGS
Each one of your personally sponsored Associates is the head of their own organization, and each one of those organizations is considered a “leg.” For example, if you personally recruited three Associates, you have three legs.

One of the qualification criteria for advancing to higher ranks and beyond has to do with how many legs of a certain rank you have. The “rank” of a leg is defined as the rank of the highest ranked Associate in that leg.  For example, if the highest rank of any Associate in a leg is an Executive Manager, then the leg is referred to as an Executive Manager leg. If the highest rank of any Associate in a leg is Director, then the leg is considered a Director leg.

 

PLACEMENT FEATURE
Once a new Associate signs their application, their sponsor has that calendar month, in which to move them, their organization and their organizational volume (minus their first order) under another Associate. The original sponsor retains the Fast-Start Bonus but can move the newly sponsored Associate to any position in his organization to motivate another Associate or strengthen a weak line. The original sponsoring Associate will always remain their sponsor yet the new upline Associate will receive all future commissions. The newly sponsored Associate must be moved within the first calendar month in which they join, or they remain with their original sponsor permanently. The Placement move can be accomplished in the Associates back office as long as the Associate being moved does not have any down line. If the Associate, being moved, has down line, then their up-line sponsor is required to call customer service to accomplish the move.

 

PREFERRED CUSTOMER
A non-Associate can enroll free of charge in the Preferred Customer program. The Preferred Customer must be on an automatic monthly auto ship order of any amount. Preferred Customers pay no shipping and handling charge.

 

PV/GV/CV

• GV (Group Volume) reflects all monthly volume (including your PV) from your downline organization. You earn ranks based on your GV.
• CV (Commissionable Volume) is the commission amount designated for each product. Commissions are calculated on the CV of each product purchased by you and your downline organization. The greater the CV the higher the commissions.
• PV (Personal Volume) reflects all monthly product, purchases made by individual Associates, and above, as well as any volume from their customers who are on auto ship or purchase online from the associates replicated website.

PRICING

• Wholesale price is what the Associates and above pay for product.
• Retail price is what customers pay for product,
• CV is the percentage of the wholesale price that used in commission calculations.  Currently, shakes and cookies have a CV equal to 75% of their wholesale price, and complete retort meals will have CV equal to 50% of their wholesale price.

 

RANK
The ‘title’ that an associate holds pursuant to the ZoneHealth Compensation Plan.  ”Title Rank” refers to the highest rank an Associate has achieved in the ZoneHealth Compensation Plan at any time.”Paid As Rank” refers to the rank at which an Associate is qualified to earn commissions and bonuses during the current pay period.
