As a new representative of Commission River you only need to focus on two things, gathering customers and sponsoring representatives. Customer Gathering

Customers are gathered through the websites provided for you by Commission River, how they get to your website is something that you, as an agent, have a great deal of control over. Commission River has a number of tools that can be used to generate traffic to your website, but in order to be successful; you must also market your site and your services to generate traffic. This can be done through your family, your neighborhood, and your local business community, and/or through your own marketing efforts on the Internet. The main web address is http://LD.net/?yourCommission RiverID. Customers entered into the system via your web pages will result in commissions to you. Sponsoring Representatives

The act of sponsoring takes place when another individual signs up as a new representative of Commission River via your websites. These individuals, and those that sign up under them, will be called your sub-agents and each starts as an Independent Rep (IR). There are four different ways to earn money:

1. Residuals: Residual commissions are paid monthly to all IRs on their own sales AND 1% Override Residuals (OR) are paid to all IRs on the sales of their "downline" through each of 6 levels provided they maintain at least $100 in monthly billed volume and add at least one new Residual paying account every 12 months. In most cases, residual commissions can range from 6% to 12% depending on each IR's personal monthly sales volume as follows:

$1 to $4,999 6%
$5,000 to $9,999 7%
$10,000 to $24,999 8%
$25,000 to $49,999 9%
$50,000 to $74,999 10%
$75,000 to $99,999 11%
$100,000 + 12%

As will be discussed below, there may be times when residual commissions are paid at levels outside of the 6% to 12% range (these may be paid at higher or lower levels depending on the product or service).

2. Qualified Rep Bonus (QRB): Every time an Independent Rep (IR) becomes a Qualified Rep (QR) by selling or buying 3 Select Services (or by qualifying for instant QR promotion), $50 is paid to the QR sponsor and $10 is paid to the upline QRs through 6 levels. These bonus payments are dependent on the upline QRs maintaining the minimum requirement in monthly billed volume for their position.

3. Promotion Bonus (PB): Every time a QR promotes to AR by personally sponsoring 5 QRs (thus earning $250), a total of $500 is paid incrementally to the upline of the newly promoted AR (i.e. his or her AR, RR, NR, and GR). As in all bonus payments, in order to receive the bonus payment, all of the receiving parties must maintain the minimum sales volume requirements of their position in monthly billed volume.

4. Generational Override (GO): An override commission of up to 1% is paid on the sales of the sub-agents below the sixth level in an agent's AR, RR, NR, and GR organizations as long as the agent meets the requirements for receiving Residuals in '3' above, this includes the requirement of maintaining a minimum level of monthly volume required for their position This commission is paid to unlimited levels.

How is Personal Sales Commission Paid?

Your base commission on residual earning products and services is generally 6% of your customer's usage for the life of each account. These commissions will increase to as high as 12% based on your monthly sales volume. If you personally sign up a representative, they will, like you, receive a 6% commission on their own sales, and you will receive 1% override on their sales. You will receive 1% on each of your "downline" representatives through six levels provided you maintain at least the minimum requirement for your position in monthly billed volume and add at least one new residual paying customer every 12 months.

When agents reach $5000 in personal sales volume, their commission increases to 7% and the 1% override commissions are then paid out to 5 levels of their upline (instead of 6). At $10,000 monthly revenue, their commission increases to 8% and the overrides are paid to 4 levels of upline. At $25,000 monthly revenue, their commission increases to 9%, and the overrides are paid to 3 levels of upline. At $50,000 monthly revenue, the commission increases to 10%, and overrides are paid to 2 levels of upline. At $75,000 monthly revenue, the commission increases to 11%, and overrides are paid to 1 level of upline. At $100,000 monthly revenue, the commission increases to 12%, and overrides are still paid to 1 level of upline.

The compensation plan is based on the company receiving a level of compensation from each vendor that supports the commission plan as described. To remain competitive, it may become necessary to add vendors that do not pay commissions to the company that allow the company to support the commission plan as described. In the event that such vendors are added, the commission plan will be "scaled" to allow the agents to earn a fair commission while allowing the company to retain a commensurate level of paid commissions. At the time that such products or services are introduced, a notice shall be provided to the agents via email or postings to the agent Private Pages. It is further stated that from time to time compensation from existing vendors may require such "scaling" to allow the company to continue to administer the compensation plan in a fair and profitable manner. In the event that changes must be made to the existing plan, a notice shall be provided to each agent via email or postings to the agent Private Pages. It should be noted that this scaling might result in both increased as well as decreased commissions.
