How does commission work in direct sales?

[TerraOB83]

Ok no one really explained this to me and I have never done any direct sales before but how does the commission work? Is it a precentage of the commissionable sales? TIA

In your business binder, look in the first chapter "business basics" and the commission is explained on page 9.

Basically, you earn commission based on the sales you submit in the calendar month (no matter what date is on the show). As you submit more, your commission increases. Again, see the chart on page 9 to figure the percentages.

thanks I guess I should have read the whole thing instead of skimming over it

Thanks, Deb. I was going to tell her to read the guide too.

About a year ago, a consultant at our cluster meeting spoke up. She had been with PC for like 5 years and had just read the Recipe for Success for the first time.

She said if she had read it sooner, she would probably be a director by now. Once she read it, she started recruiting and is almost to directorship.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!

Can't believe it took her 5 years to decide to read it. At least the new guides are thinner! I would be lost without my information. I didn't find this site until I was already in the business a year or so. I am still referring to different things every now and then to make sure I understand the rules.
