1. What is the New Volume Bonus, and how is it calculated?
The New Volume Bonus (NVB) is a bonus paid for generating new sales volume, either through personal purchases or sales made by new customers or team members. It is designed to reward Brand Partners for driving new business activity.
The NVB is calculated as a percentage of the total new volume generated during a specific period, such as the first four weeks after enrollment or during promotional periods. The bonus percentage you earn depends on your Business Level and market rules.
NVB calculations and percentages can vary market to market. Always consult your local Compensation Plan for the exact details on commission structures in your market.
2. Does the New Volume Bonus count towards my Pay Line or Power Line?
NVB is calculated based on the new volume generated, and while it contributes to your PV and overall Group Volume (GV), it does not typically count directly toward optimizing a Pay Line or Power Line for commission purposes. Instead, it is a separate bonus that rewards you for generating new sales. However, the volume that contributes to the NVB can also flow through your organization and affect your overall structure, indirectly benefiting your Pay or Power Lines. Your downline NVB will flow through your organization and your NVB can flow into your upline, but it will not count towards your personal Power or Pay Line.
3. Can I earn a higher New Volume Bonus if my initial purchase is beyond my Business Level?
Yes, if your initial purchase or the new sales volume you generate exceeds the requirements for your current Business Level, you may earn a higher NVB. This is because the NVB is often tied to achieving certain thresholds or milestones, and exceeding those thresholds can unlock a higher bonus percentage. For example, if your new volume meets the requirements for a higher Business Level, you may receive a larger bonus payout for that period.
4. How do my first four weeks impact my New Volume Bonus?
Your first four weeks are critical for maximizing your NVB. During this period, the company often offers enhanced bonuses or accelerated earning opportunities for generating new sales. The volume you generate in these initial weeks sets the foundation for your business and can result in higher NVB payouts.
Missing key milestones during this period may reduce your potential NVB earnings. It is important to focus on enrolling new customers or team members and driving volume in the early stages to maximize this bonus.
NVB calculations and percentages can vary market to market. Always consult your local Compensation Plan for the exact details on commission structures in your market.
5. What happens to my New Volume Bonus if I upgrade my Business Level?
If you upgrade your Business Level, you may become eligible for a higher NVB percentage. Each Business Level typically offers different bonus percentages, so as you advance to higher levels like Elite or Ultimate, your NVB earnings increase accordingly. The upgraded bonus rate would apply to the new volume generated after your Business Level change, and any new volume generated before the upgrade would be calculated at the previous rate.
