How Uni-Level Compensation Plan Works, the Pros and Cons

 


In a Uni-level compensation plan, you build levels, not legs. So, every recruit you sponsor will fall on your forehead. Your first level is everyone you personally sponsored. When your reps sponsor someone, that person becomes part of your second level, and so forth. There is no width limit on this plan, and the commissions are usually paid out at a specified level depth.

The depth is decided according to the compensation plan of the MLM company. There would also be no spillover in this case, unlike other MLM plans. The main goal of the plan is to recruit as many members as possible and line them evenly. Each consultant recruits new members in the front line, introducing them at any width.

 

The Uni-level Compensation plan is one of the oldest and most established types of compensation plans in the MLM industry. It has a proven track record of success which makes it still in use today by many companies.

 How Does the Uni-level Compensation Plan

 Work?

In the Uni-level compensation plan, everyone you sponsor is one of your frontline distributors/associates -direct line. In other words, you can only sponsor one line of consultants/associates.

How it works: Let us consider one example of the Uni-level compensation plan. Suppose a Consultant X joined this Uni-level MLM plan and introduced new members (A, B, C, and Z); these members will be placed on the first level of X. Everyone Consultant X sponsors goes on his/her first level (see the figure below), and X can sponsor as many as he/she wishes -unlimited width. The ellipsis shows unlimited width.


When A, B, C, Z, etc., sponsor consultants on their first levels, these become A’s second level; see the figure below.

 Consultants A, B, C, and Z, form different legs of X. All the recruits of each of   A, B, C, Z, etc., will be in the third level of X. The fourth level for X will be created when the people in the third level recruit other people. The genealogy continues in this manner, as shown in the fig below, but the MLM company sets the number of levels (i.e., the depth).


 

Unlike other MLM compensation plans, this is no spillover, and there are no limitations in the width of the plan.  Hence, each member can add as many members as possible in his downline, thereby building a stronger and longer network downline.

 

The commission is normally paid up to a limited depth that has been decided by the company.

The payment structure is regulated by insisting on a minimum member volume to be required to earn a commission. Due to the simplicity of the plan, it is extremely easy to understand.

 New sales made by the downlines of X.

Suppose Consultant A (see the fig above), whom X sponsored, recruits new members to the Uni-level Compensation Plan. These downlines of consultant A are directly placed under his level, and it provides commission for his effort; this is called direct commission. However, there are commissions earned from the new sales made by the downlines of X. Here X earns commission up to the 5th to 10th levels deep, which is set by the MLM company.

 Uni-level Compensation Structure

Uni-level compensation may be provided for 5 to 10 levels deep down the MLM plan structure, depending upon the MLM company preferences.

The commission varies depending upon the levels in the Uni-level compensation plan.

 For instance:

15% of SV at level 1

7% of SV at level 2

4% of SV at level 3

3% of SV at level 4

2% of SV at level 5

1% of SV at level 6

MLM companies may set some compensation criteria like consultants can earn only up to a certain percentage of the enrollment fee or based on ranks, etc. Uni-level compensation plan motivates the group members and makes them active.

Class Rank

Furthermore, MLM companies may set some compensation criteria that consultants meet and get promoted to another rank. Thus, there could be different ranks, such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. To move up in rank, most companies ask consultants to meet specific requirements, like having a certain amount in group sales volume (GSV) during a commission run and recruiting certain numbers of downlines. As consultants earn higher ranks, they can be paid on more of their downline levels.

For example, let us imagine a hypothetical MLM company using Uni-level compensation with the following simple class ranks and criteria.

1. Bronze - Criterium: Signup fee $100.
2. Silver - $250 signup or a bronze consultant who has recruited four or more downlines directly and has a sales volume of $5000.00 personal sales or GSV of $10,000 (personal sales must be at least $2000).
3. Gold – A consultant that has 5 levels of downline, personal sales of at least $5,000, and GSV of at least $30,000.

Let us assume that the MLM company has set the maximum depth to be 5 levels. Now see the following diagram.
