Lifewave - Compensation Details

Concept of long leg, short leg and placement.

Your goal as a LifeWave distributor is to keep your right and left downline legs in an approximate 2 to 1 balance (much easier to do than a 1 to 1 balance requirement). The shorter leg is called the short leg and the other leg is called the long leg. Usually your long leg far outdistances your short leg... and no longer needs to be thought about... and one’s attention can be focused on building the shorter leg.

A power leg essentially means a leg that is building excellent sales volume with no effort from you. Such a situation allows you to focus your efforts on your shorter leg. Being able to focus on only one leg is the best situation to be in. It is teamwork at its best.

New distributors are almost always placed at the end of the sponsoring distributor’s short leg. At the end... means literally at the end of a straight line going from you through your left or right distributor.

The Livewave computer systerm automatically places new distributors at the end of either of the left leg or the right leg. It will not automatically place a distributor at an inside position, (however, there is a manual way to accomplish such a placement if you wanted to help someone build their inside leg). Your back office downline management program allows you to set one of three options for automatic placement—left line, right line or alternating between left and right. Once a person is placed... manually or automatically... that person is LOCKED INTO THAT PLACE PERMANENTLY!

Example:

This example shows how money is earned. The ones earning money in this example are those with their circles colored in. In fact, the whole secret for earning money is to have sales volume on both legs — not just one.
Beginning at the top... Kent is on the left leg of his upline. Kent’s left leg (red) is the short leg of someone in his upline... and so that upline person is placing new distributors at the end of his/her short leg... which is the red line going through Kent and Devin. Because this leg is growing through the efforts of Kent’s upline, this leg is (at least in the beginning) Kent’s long leg or POWER LEG.
Another example of a power leg is the blue line going from Kent through Patsy (red circle). Patsy doesn’t have to build the blue leg.. because Kent is building it — it is Kent’s short leg and Patsy’s power leg.
The red line that goes from Patsy through Shane is Patsy’s short or inside leg... because she is building it herself. If she does a good job of building this leg it becomes Shane’s (and Megan’s) power leg.
Note that Kenneth's circle is colored yellow. Kenneth is essentially getting a free ride. His power leg is the right or blue leg being built by Kent. He gets a few of his family members involved as customers only... but does only a minimum effort to qualify for bonuses.
His son Greg, (circle is colored black) is building both his left and his right legs since his siblings and father aren't really promoting the business. He will continue to build both sides until he discovers a super star who will turn one of his legs into an automatically growing or power leg.

Matching bonus:

LifeWave provides an additional method of earning bonus called matching bonus. Essentially, you are paid percentage of the bonus check earned by anyone you sponsor. Matching bonus provides a big incentive to help those you sponsor by working with them to build their inside leg... and earn a bonus... which means a bonus for you.
