Managing Your Business

Creating Your Business Center

Your sponsor places you in an open position in his or her sales organization. This open position is called a Business Center. Each business center has left and a right side in which sales volume accumulates.

Activate your Business Center to earn commissions

• Complete the online Distributor Application and Agreement Form.
• Purchase the Starter Kit for $59.95. The starter kit includes your personal replicated website with a retail store and shopping cart. You also receive your back office with all the management tools to run your business. There is a $49.95 annual renewal fee, unless you opt to purchase the $74.95 Lifetime Membership (in lieu of the $59.95 Starter Kit) and also maintain 200 BV per year.
• Generate at least 100 points in Personal Volume (“PSV”). You can personally generate PSV in several ways: (a) purchase FFi products or services for your own personal use or for resale to your customers, (b) personally sponsor “No Inventory Retail Customers”** to enroll in FFi’s Autoship Program, or to enroll as FoneFreedom customers; or (c) introduce No Inventory Retail Customers to your FFi website where they purchase any of FFi’s products and/or the FoneFreedom service, All products and services have a Commission Volume (CV) associated with them. The CV associated with your purchases and sales of these products is accumulated to comprise your PSV. Understand that it is not necessary for a Distributor to personally purchase products from FFi to qualify for commissions. You can meet your qualification criteria strictly through NIRC sales if you wish. In fact, NIRC sales are particularly helpful since once you reach your PSV qualification quota, all excess sales to your personal No Inventory Retail Customers count towards your GSV.

• Sponsor one person on your right side who personally generates at least 100 PSV, and one person on your left side who personally generates 100 PSV, and you are qualified to earn commissions. This can be done at any time.
• To maintain qualification, personally generate 50 PV of FFi products or services every month. If you don’t maintain 50 PSV per month, you will not be eligible for commissions that month and your accumulated GSV will flush (reset to zero in both legs).

How Your Business Centers Provide Income to You

As you sponsor Distributors, you place them in open positions in your downline, remembering to first place one on your left side and one on your right side. (Figure 2). After placing one on each side, you may sponsor Distributors on either side of your downline. You and everyone in your upline are able to help build your organization because new Distributors are always added downline. This structure fosters a team effort with everyone working together to add new Distributors. Everyone in your group benefits each time sales are generated in your organization . The team will work together to reap faster growth and faster rewards for everyone in the downline organization (figure 3). As you introduce the products and services to more people, you will want to add more people and more Group Sales Volume to your organization. You can place new Distributors in any open spot under the person on your left side or the person on your right side, helping whichever person you wish. You will be helping to build your other Distributors’ downlines as well as helping yourself. Your success is built on product sales, which are achieved by sponsoring people in your organization, sharing the products with your customers, and teaching the Distributors in your downline to do the same thing.

Commissions earned vary by the efforts and skill of each individual distributor. They are paid based on accrued Group Sales Volume. The Group Sales Volume (GSV) is the accumulation of the Commission Value (CV) on all products and services purchased and sold in your downline group that fall within a 1/3 weak-side, 2/3 strong –side ratio once at least 300 GSV is accrued on the weak side and 600 GSV is on the strong-side. (Figure 4). All unused volume after the commissions are calculated carries forward to the next pay period as long as the monthly qualifier has been met (Figure 5).

Each time 300 in GSV is accumulated in the weaker leg and 600 GSV is accumulated in the stronger leg, a cycle is completed and a $50 commission is paid to you. Maximum allowable cycles is 500 per week,(although the compensation plan is programmed to permit up to 500 cycles per week, it is not realistic to expect to cycle this many times). The remaining volume after the commissions have been processed is carried forward to the next week. Commissions are calculated weekly and paid one week in arrears. The end of the commission period is Sunday at 11:59 PM.
