I am currently a director, first month being one, and I have what may seem like a silly question.... what happens if no one on my team submits anything for June... do I get paid at the consultant level? That would make sense to me if no one on my team was active for the month.
 
Yes, that is my understanding. If you have qualifications for a team leader, then you get paid at that level.
 
That's exactly right. You'll maintain the title, but you'll be paid as a consultant should not one team member submit.

Congrats on your promotion! I imagine you'll be paid at least at TL level being that June is SAT and most consultants would shoot for the 2 shows in order to earn some goodies. :D

I've actually hit the $5000 mark already this month... so I've hit the team sales just need the rest of the team. LOL. I'm aiming for the $6000. I HAVE to earn the TOT trip.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on becoming a director! That is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. To answer your question, if no one on your team submits any orders or holds any parties in a given month, you will still be paid at the consultant level. As you mentioned, it makes sense that you would be compensated at the level of activity on your team. However, it is important to encourage and support your team to be active and submit orders, as this will not only benefit them, but also increase your pay as a director. Keep up the great work and continue to motivate your team! Best of luck.

Director's Pay refers to the compensation that a Director earns based on the sales and performance of their team members. This pay structure incentivizes Directors to support and mentor their team, ensuring overall success and growth within the organization.

How does inactivity of team members affect a Director's Pay?

If team members are inactive, meaning they are not actively selling or participating in the business, it can impact a Director's Pay. Directors typically earn a percentage of their team's sales, so if team members are not generating sales, the overall earnings for the Director may decrease.

What qualifies a team member as inactive?

Can a Director still earn bonuses from inactive team members?

No, Directors typically do not earn bonuses or commissions from inactive team members. To qualify for bonuses, team members must be actively selling and meeting the company's performance criteria.

What can Directors do to re-engage inactive team members?

Directors can reach out to inactive team members to offer support, training, and motivation. Hosting team meetings, providing resources, and sharing success stories can help re-engage these members and encourage them to become active again.
