In a Breakaway MLM Plan it follows the fundamentals of team growth where participants have to meet specific group volume requirements in order to move up the ranks. The more members in a particular team, the sooner a distributor will eventually "break away" from an upline and earn less-than-average commissions on sales generated by that group instead of getting deeper-level commissions.
The name "Stair Step" refers to how distributors climb rungs in reaching higher commission levels that are tied into their rank. A distributor can break off and obtain the opportunity to earn better commissions for themselves when they break away. Upfront, distributors can only sponsor members at one level, but with distributors moving through certain levels, their organization changes, hence enabling them to advance up the ranks.
This model encourages the growth of total group sales. The distributor will break off from their direct sponsor as soon as a certain rank is achieved; thus, their possible earning increases. As their team's income goes up with the growth, this distributor's commission configuration changes from level-based earnings to a percentage of the group's total volume.
As an example, at the beginning, distributors usually encountered upfront costs of acquiring a variety of products that resulted in an overstock inventory. In the past, this initial investment had been controlled in order to minimize excess stock. Each step in the stairway marked an advancement into a distributor's higher position in the organization.
Advancement into the next tier depends on the income generated by the distributor and purchase activity of a distributor's downline. The more that a distributor ascends the ladder, the more they are allowed to function independently of their immediate upline sponsor.
In a Stair Step MLM Plan, a commission structure is aligned such that the distributor reaps benefits based on his or her personal sales, as well as the sales performance of the individuals within his or her team, for which he or she is able to "climb" the ranks of the organization. Here's how calculation of commission usually works in this plan:
This is a direct commission earned to the distributor from his or her sales, for example, if the distributor sold a product valued at $2,000 with his personal commission rate of 10%, he or she will earn a $200 directly calculated from his own sales volume.
A portion of the total sales volume made by the distributor's downline is paid as group sales commission. The rate often will vary with rank at which the distributor stands in the company. For example, if the group makes a sales volume of $15,000 and the distributor qualifies for 5% group commission, they get $750.
Distributors move up the stair steps of rank and earn higher commissions once they have reached rank-based bonuses. After attaining a higher rank, based on personal sales and performance by his team, a distributor qualifies for additional bonuses that can accumulate in earnings. For example, a higher rank might increase the commission rate by 3% - 5% on downline sales.
Although the breakaway, and their team, have exceeded the upline's team sales point and now roll into someone else's upline, the original upline will still take a smaller percentage of the total sales made by the breakaway team. If a breakaway team is producing $50,000 in sales, the original upline might earn 1-2% on that, or $500 to $1,000.
High-end distributors earn an override commission on all group volume reportable directly below them, so it can filter down many levels. For example, then, a distributor could earn an additional 2% on all sales made by their entire group, no matter how deep the group goes, on top of that amount.
This plan lets the sellers generate incomes from two sides firstly from their sales and secondly from their subordinates' performance. The more ranks they go up, the higher is the potential. This gives an increased prospect of scalable income.
The stair step structure encourages teamwork as the distributors gain benefits when they have a deeper downline. The more people they build, the more they grow and earn, thus rewarding them to some extent for collaboration.
The new ranks at which distributors earn more have more in terms of commission and bonuses; it creates a career development pathway and, indeed, is a reason to work harder for more.
A distributor, having got to a good level, can break away from his upline and earn higher commissions independently. This provides him with the autonomy to lead a team and increase personal earnings.
The high ranks and corresponding bonuses usually depend greatly on the personal sales volume achieved, as well as the volume brought in by the team. This can be unattainable for new distributors or those with less experience to quickly reach.
In the event that a distributor leaves a downline, the upline may lose some income from that group. They then go through income plateaus until they can build more teams or become rank advanced.
The strategy relies heavily on recruitment to ensure the downline is of quality. Distributors are often pushed continuously to bring in new recruits to keep the team and their income going.
This multi-tiered system makes it really confusing to understand for new members. Commissions are also based both on personal sales and group sales, in addition to rank and position-a real complicated mix for tracking and managing their earnings.
