There are now numerous MLM companies that have had a compressed pay plan for many years. I have interviewed many Top Earners in many different Compressed Pay Plans. Attrition was really setting in and my 2,000 member downline in our MLM was dropping off fast. The leaders were rewarded, always at the expense of the little guy, and this ultimately lead to higher turnover rates, and even bigger checks for the top leaders. It was a sick cycle for that reason, I ultimately wanted out and sold my distributorship.
Generational bonuses are a powerful concept.
I've had the unique opportunity to work in corporate with MLM companies where I gained significant insights into compensation plan design and performance. In this way, the part timer as well as the full timer is richly rewarded and fall out is minimized.
