How does generation plan work?

The plan is as simple as any other compensation plan. However, it does have some resemblance to a normal unilevel plan. Before explaining about generation plan lets see how it is different from a basic unilevel plan.

The below pictorial representation is a normal unilevel plan.

Have you noticed something from the image? In a distributors tree, all the customers and referrals are placed in a single business level. This particular method affects the consistency of the plan.

In the direct selling business, not every customer becomes a distributor. They may remain in the system as a one-time consumer or a regular customer but never want themselves as a distributor. However, consumers become distributors if they find good opportunities or they find the products worth selling.

If these distributors and customers are placed under a single level of the tree, then there arise inconsistencies. What might be the possible solution? Won’t this issue become more complex in an e-commerce business with good traffic?

Sure, it will!

The best solution is preferring a generation plan over other compensation plans. Instead of a single generation level, there will be many generations. Let’s use the above example of distributor A to explain the plan.

Clearly, there is a significant difference from the normal unilevel plan. A1, A2, A3, and A4 are the direct referrals of distributor A.

Generation 0: This group consists of the sponsor (Distributor A) and his/her customers.

Generation 1: This group consists of the sponsor’s (Distributor A1) first direct downline and his/her customers.

Generation 2: This group consists of the sponsor’s (Distributor A2)second downline and his/her customers.

Generation 3: This group consists of the sponsor’s (Distributor A3) third downline and his/her customers.

Thus there will be many generations in a single generation plan. This particular tree is termed as a generation tree.

Retail profit benefits: The profit received by the distributors once they sell a product to the customers outside the MLM system. The distributor gets the products in wholesale rate from the product selling company.

First, get sponsored to a system and then the distributor enrolls in the plan by purchasing a package. They get the products in wholesale price that equals the enrollment package fees.

Distributors then sell their products to outside customers for a retail price. Thus the distributors get a retail profit which is the difference between the retail value and wholesale value. This is beneficial mainly for e-commerce business.

Compensations in a generation plan

Compensations are achieved once the distributors meet certain criteria set by direct selling companies.

Generation bonus:

The sponsor receives a percentage of sales made from the generation groups as a bonus.

Referral bonus:

Bonus received for adding new members to the tree.

Team sales bonus:

Bonus received once the team achieves a specific target.

Retail commission:

The difference between the retail rate and wholesale price is received as commission for distributors.
