Abstract: The sales compensation plan of the present invention is a stair-step compensation plan without a breakaway to promote depth as well as breadth within the distributor's distribution genealogy. The compensation plan also includes an advanced performance team position that enables qualifying distributors to position themselves within their own frontline of their distribution genealogy to receive additional compensation for their efforts. Yet another feature of the compensation plan is the unique concept of horizontal compression for enabling leg volume requirements to be satisfied by horizontally compressing the leg volume of a plurality of legs.
