Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question, but there are proven principles of success common to virtually all successful plans. This article may help to identify the real success factors of a compensation plan. Don't waste incentive dollars on behavior which provides little value to you or the distributor. Question each type of compensation and verify that it will provide the expected return on investment. Leverage the principle of relationships.
Most people recruit others they already know.
They want to work with them. Be sure your plan builds on these relationships. A plan where a new recruit is trained or mentored by a person other than the sponsor usually results in poor recruitment and weak relationships. Recognition is as important as compensation. Distributors will work for money but they'll kill for a cause.
