How Do Product Returns Impact Commissions and Sales?

[krahema]

I'm never sure if I'm posting in the right spot, and this is one of these times

How does it affect our commissions & cummulative career sales if customers return products they ordered from shows and just request a refund instead of exchanging for a different product?

I've had 2 situations like this so far, but have not noticed it affecting my sales/commissions yet. The first one was for a show submit 4/27/10; the returned product was received by HO in May. The 2nd is more recent - show submit 4/30/10; returned product received in June.

I guess I'm wondering if I should expect this to reduce my June sales for the Sell-A-Thon. I can't imagine HO wouldn't reduce our sales for something like this, otherwise it would be too easy for people to "abuse the system".

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide:chef:

The occasional return doesn't affect our commission. The cancellation of an entire show does. Also, since the people at the HO aren't dumb, I'm sure that a consultant who started experiencing a lot of returns would see an affect. A consultant like that would probably also get a call from the HO to find out what was going on.

It is possible that returns and refunds could affect your commissions and cumulative career sales, depending on how your company's commission structure is set up. Some companies may deduct the cost of the returned product from your sales or commission, while others may not factor it in at all. It is important to check with your company's policies and procedures to understand how returns and refunds are handled and how they may affect your sales and commissions. If you are unsure, you can also reach out to your upline or company support team for clarification. In general, it is always best to strive for high customer satisfaction and minimize returns and refunds as much as possible. This will not only benefit your commissions and sales, but also help maintain a positive reputation for your business.
