Fast Start Pack Bargain

Commissions and Fast Start Bonuses are available at this level. Sell a FreshAir to earn $325. Sell a LivingWater to earn $700. Sell a Fast Start Pack to earn $500.

Over half of all network marketersany company, any plannever recruit anyone. Therefore, Level 1 is very important. We would prefer to retain these people.

Vollara distributors immediately get the best price. They get a 'better than best' price when they buy one of our Fast Start Packages. And they can make nice commissions if they make retail sales.

For those who start working their way up through levels 2, 3 and 4, the only significant money is from retailing or selling Fast Start Packs to new recruits.

This is a time for growth and learning.

 

Questions...

 

Make sure you understand each and every question. Once you get a handle on this system you will never have the slightest doubt about how it works.

 

Bob's Rules would be:

1. Go wide, go wide, go wide

2. Quality is more important than quantity but both are important

3. Lead with the opportunity; that's how you'll find the most leaders.

4. Get to know ALL the talented and committed people in your entire group.

5. If your Placement Tree is out of balance, keep adding new Enrollment Tree legs so you can create balance.

6. Know how many Qualified Enrollment Tree legs you'll need to reach your career goals. If you want to be sure to reach your goals, double that number.

7. Encourage all of your leaders to branch out geographically.

8. If you think you are wide enough, go wider for one more year.

 

“Two Trees for the price of one”

training sheet (PDF) for meetings or home study

Your Enrollment Tree is a simple matrix…like a genealogy.

Learn about the Enrollment Tree. It is set up like a family genealogy. It contains all the people you personally recruit, all the people they recruit and so on...just like children, grandchildren, etc.

 

Information in box: "Leg 4 with 4 leaders and 4,000 GV is your first qualified ETL."

Information in box 2: "Arrows in Placement Tree diagram (Below) show where your personal recruits were placed."

The point of network marketing is to move product. We don’t move product with selling power or with stores. Rather, we bring larger and larger numbers of people to our company. If you have 100 people or 1,000 or 5,000 buying products (think of it as a buyers’ club) and you make 5% from every order—that becomes significant. I’ve been doing it for 41 years. I’ve earned $15 million. It has never been about selling.

But strategies are involved. That’s what this training page is about. You’ll bring your skills to the table and you’ll recruit others who have skills. The principle involved is called leverage. You’ll benefit from the skills of hundreds of other people. Leverage expands your outreach to people, places, talent, ideas and even time.

Network marketing has been around for 50 years. Family tree plans (above) were first. About 20 years ago someone invented a system called binary. It has a very desirable feature: With 2 strong legs (see below), you can earn 5% to infinity. It may sound counter-intuitive or even impossible…but it is mathematically sound.

Our plan uses both types of networks. We have a family tree (Enrollment - above) and a binary tree that supports the infinitely deep Team Bonus. The same people are in both trees (this page shows how they are allocated). The binary tree is called your Placement Tree (because you “place people” on the left side or right side of the structure.

Information in box (top right): "Your Placement Tree may or may not have upline spill. Your Enrollment Tree never has upline spill."

Information in box 2: "Oops, distributor #3 could not be legally placed in this spot. #2 can only receive one leg from upline."

Information in box 3: "These ovals show that your legs can branch but always on your same Placement Tree side."

Information in box 4: "Timing is your friend. Get your Enrollment and Placement Trees started. With balanced legs you can collect bonuses from infinitely deep...and for decades."

Having the same people in both trees is like having 1,500 football players in the National Football League. You keep your master file but break your league into 2 conferences, AFC and the left; NFC on the right. In each conference you have teams. Football subdivisions were created to make the system work better. Same for Vollara; that’s why we have 2 trees.

Computers take care of the tedious details. Our job is to build strong teams. Our teams of distributor play in our Left conference or in our Right conference. Once you accept this, you will never again be confused by it.

As with any system, there are some terms to learn.

1. With this group as shown, which Enrollment Tree leg is probably a QETL already?

Leg 4 - lots of people and 4 leaders

2. With continued work, how many QETLs are you likely to have in 3 months?

3 - Legs 1, 4 and 6 (because these legs contain committed leaders)

3. What rank would that make you eligible for?

Platinum - GMI = $4,000 per cycle, car = $250 or more

4. Where did that "upline spill" come from?

Your sponsor put that person in his Placement Tree and it spilled under you

5. What does the question mark in the black square mean?

No one has been placed there. It can only be done by Distributor "1"

6. Could "4E1" be placed under the green leg on the left?

No, Enrollment Tree groups must stay together in the Placement Tree

7. Why is distributor "3" in an impossible position? (an error on this diagram)

Distributor "2" cannot get 2 free spillovers. Spillover can only go on the outside leg.

8. Once someone is placed in the Placement Tree, can he ever be moved?

No. So it is important to think clearly when making placements.

9. From what you see, which is your Lesser Side and why?

The Left has fewer distributors and fewer leaders; so it probably has less GV.

10. Six months from now, could your Lesser Side change?

Yes, growth could occur in the existing people or your new placements could bring about a change. Tree

11. Give two reasons why distributor "4" is your best recruiter?

He has the most people and the most leaders!

12. If your goal is to be a Platinum, should you keep recruiting more people on your first level?

Yes, you may have 3 good legs, but you never know. Legs can be lost.

13. If you recruited distributor #8, where would the computer put him in your Placement Tree?

On my Lesser Side, which seems to be the Left in this example.

14. Give one reason why you might override the computer and put #8 on the other side.

I might expect strong growth based on someone new in the side that is currently "Lesser."

Or I might have someone in that leg who speaks the same foreign language.

Or there might be a geographical reason. A leader in Hawaii, for example.

Understand These Big 3 Compensation Plan Levels

 Level 1 Distributor is highlighted to show its importance. More than half of all our distributors will remain at Level 1.

Level 6 Gold is highlighted to show its huge importance. That's where car qualification begins and $2,000 per cycle GMI.

Level 9 Ruby is highlighted to show its career importance: a secure income of $8,000 per cycle and up.

Understanding the Comp Plan - building strong QETLs

Q u a l i f i e E n r o l l m e n T r e L e g s

Level 5 - Silver

4000 Lesser Side GV

GMI = $1,000

Rank Maximum = $4,000

52,000 per year max or increase your rank

1 QETL

(4000 GV in 1 ET Leg)

 

Level 6 - Gold

8000 Lesser Side GV

GMI = $2,000 + Car Level

Rank Maximum = $8,000

104,000 per year max or increase your rank

2 QETLs

(4000 GV in each of 2 ET Legs)

 

Level 7 - Platinum

12000 Lesser Side GV

GMI = $4,000 + Car Level

Rank Maximum = $10,000

130,000 per year max or increase your rank

3 QETLs

(4000 GV in each of 3 ET Legs)

 

The formula for building QETLs is to identify at least 2 and preferably 3 up-and-comers in each Leg. Do not assume this will happen without some form of strategic input or support from you.

1.  Imagine reaching and maintaining a high level such as Ruby. The absolute minimum income a GMI Ruby would make would be $8,250 per bonus cycle. A Ruby can earn more (up to $393,250/year) but no less than $8,937 per month (convert cycles to months: multiply by 1.0833).

In the next 3 or 4 years many Vollara people will become minimum Rubies and still have other jobs. $8,250 per bonus cycle is $107,250 per year on the low end of Ruby. Not a fortune but quite respectable. The high end of Ruby can be $390,000 per year.

2.  And consider this: If 4 of your best leg leaders make Ruby you will max out that rank ($393,250/year counting the car). Once you get that far, you may decide to press ahead to Diamond.

3.  To maximize a Ruby position I have to find talented and leadership-minded people who really want to make Vollara their career. I can't just sign my kid up and count her as a leg. When I find someone good, I have to point him in the right direction. I have to show him the career picture and get him on a winning course. On a leg by leg basis I have to work with my key people until each group contains leaders under leaders under leaders.

4.  It's not about selling. It's not about products. It's not about the compensation plan. It's about the staying power of the company and my ability to find and develop leaders. It's got to be about the company because if the company flops all my work is for naught. And it's got to be built on leadership or my group will remain small. Does a sports team win the Super Bowl or the World Series without good players?

5.  I have to find leaders and start legs. I have to identify sub-leaders within each leg. And I've got to keep my people on a winning course.

6.  It's not easy but it's fun. In fact, it's fascinating.

7.  Vollara is moving into a period of growth that will remain very exciting for several years. The iron is hot. It's time to strike.

 

Even if your goal is only to reach Gold and haul in $2,000 plus a car, it's still a good idea to work for Ruby. Working for Ruby is the best way to make Gold!

Level 8 - Emerald

All your others...

4 leaders, 35 distributors

Blue Leg = QETL

4 Leaders, 21 distributors, 4,000 GV

 

 

Would you build this group for $1,000 per month? Let's analyze...

You're not doing it "for $1,000 per month," which is the Silver Guaranteed Minimum Income. You're working for something bigger--perhaps Gold, Platinum, Emerald or Ruby. Silver is your first important checkpoint.

Your Enrollment Tree (graphic at left) has 4 leader legs...a foundation that could take you to Emerald and $8,250 per 28-day pay cycle. You have recruited 15 people (11 are little ones). The rate of recruiting is up to you.

Being a Silver, you have 1 Strong 4,000 GV Enrollment Tree Leg (illustrated in blue) per cycle. The leaders (your building blocks) are in the colored frames. They generate growth by recruiting distributors and other leaders.

This group--8 leaders and 60 total people--has to produce at least 8,000 GV in every 4-week cycle and there are 2 additional conditions: 1] Placement Tree requirements; 2] A rolling 2-consecutive-month vestment requirement.

QETL stands for

Silvers are your building blocks to achieve the higher levels. With Silvers in 2 Enrollment Tree Legs you will be a Gold.

This organization would have good potential for advancement.

The Placement Tree is not shown. Placement Tree dynamics are hard to illustrate because everyone's group is different.

The basic technique: Keep going wide in your Enrollment Tree... and focus extra attention toward the groups in your Lesser Side.

Unused Greater Side GV always carries forward if you are Active.

In addition to your main legs (the 2 Silvers), continue building width in your Enrollment Tree.

 

Gold provides a $2,000 per cycle GMI plus car qualification every 28 days. If your production is high enough, your check will be higher than the GMI. The car bonus is $250 per cycle. However, if you purchase or lease a car (new or used) and provide documentation to Vollara the bonus jumps to $500 (or to $600 if your car is a hybrid).

Our system allows committed leaders to build lasting careers.

Vollara's long range commitment to you is absolute. And the timing is perfect!

 

You can if you decide to!

It hardly matters if your distributor count is 300 or 700. Nor does it matter if you have 30 good salesmen. Numbers are nice. The more the merrier. Salesmen are nice, too. But the key to network building is leadership.

Leadership is also the key to staying power.                                                                                         PT stands for Placement Tree

This Emerald model has 70 leaders. This large organization might produce 70,000 GV (both sides of your PT) per cycle. Of course not all leaders are equal. At this point, the 8 Silvers are your most important players.  

Ideally, these Silvers will not all be in

the same geographical area!

In addition to your main legs, continue building width in your Enrollment Tree.

 

Emerald requires 20,000 GV in your Lesser Side (which means at least 40,000 GV overall). Therefore, 4 Silver groups, as shown, will not be enough. You would meet the QETL requirement but not the Lesser Side requirement. This shortfall could be overcome in several ways.  1] If these 4 Silvers were all Golds, that would do it!  2] Or you could have more Silvers under these Silvers.  3] Or you could build wider in your Enrollment Tree.  4] Or some combination of these options.

Emerald provides an $8,000 per cycle GMI plus car qualification (up to $20,000 per cycle can be earned by an Emerald with enough Lesser Side GV and downline earnings). The car bonus is earned at all levels above Gold.

We urge all Emeralds to press ahead to the Ruby Rank by adding 1 more Qualified Enrollment Tree Leg and reaching 35,000 Lesser Side GV. This increases your security and boosts your annual potential to $390,000. With each additional step the top-end potential goes up!                                    Pretty exciting, don't you think?

Give this 3 years of commitment and passion.  Imagine being fixed for life by 2014!  Imagine helping other people, too.
