Compensation Plans 101: Understanding How Direct Selling Companies Pay Their Distributors


Direct selling is a popular business model that allows individuals to sell products directly to consumers without the need for a physical storefront. One of the key benefits of this model is the compensation plan, which determines how distributors are paid for their sales efforts.



Types of Compensation Plans

There are several types of compensation plans used by direct selling companies:



  • Unilevel Plan: This is one of the simplest plans, where distributors are paid a commission on the sales of everyone in their downline, typically up to a certain number of levels.
  • Binary Plan: In this plan, distributors are only allowed to have two front-line distributors, and commissions are paid based on the sales of the weaker leg.
  • Matrix Plan: This plan limits the number of distributors a person can have on their first level, typically to a certain number. Commissions are then paid based on the sales of everyone in the matrix, up to a certain number of levels.
  • Stairstep Plan: This plan rewards distributors for reaching certain sales milestones, and as they reach each milestone, their commission percentage increases.

Factors That Affect Compensation

Direct selling companies take several factors into account when designing their compensation plans:

  • Product Type: Different products may have different commission rates based on their price, profitability, and other factors.
  • Sales Volume: Most compensation plans have different commission rates for different sales volumes, with higher volumes typically resulting in higher commission percentages.
  • Downline Size: Some plans pay out more commission for larger downlines, while others limit the number of levels or distributors that can be included in the plan.
  • Performance Incentives: Many companies offer additional bonuses or rewards for reaching certain sales or recruiting milestones, such as cash bonuses or trips.

Choosing the Right Plan

When deciding which direct selling company to join, it's important to consider the compensation plan carefully. Some key factors to consider include:

  • Ease of Understanding: A good compensation plan should be easy to understand and explain to others.
  • Commission Rates: Look for plans with competitive commission rates that will allow you to earn a good income for your efforts.
  • Performance Incentives: Consider whether the company offers additional incentives for reaching certain milestones, and whether these incentives are meaningful to you.
  • Stability and Growth Potential: Look for companies with a strong track record and a clear plan for future growth and expansion.

Understanding how direct selling companies pay their distributors is an important part of choosing the right opportunity for you. By considering the different types of compensation plans and the factors that affect them, you can make an informed decision and start building your own successful business.
