Recently, we introduced a new concept, Qualifying Volume (QV). We are excited to share that this new addition to the Compensation Plan ensures team members remain active and won’t miss a qualifying enrolment due to discounts or promotions.

Qualifying Volume is a point value assigned to each commissionable product. QV is not tied to compensation and is only used to determine active status and qualifying enrolments. QV is independent of BV and will not be reduced by discounts but BV may be adjusted if a product is part of a discount promotion.

Recap

 QV will only be used to determine:

  1. Active status (previously PV)
  2. Qualifying Enrolments (previously BV)

An easy way to remember this is: ‘BV pays, QV maintains’.

Example 1:

Sarah, an Associate, places an order of $150 with 100 BV/QV during a 10% off promotion. The promotion will reduce her purchase price before taxes and BV by 10% to $135 and 90 BV, while QV remains 100.

  • Even though BV was reduced to 90 BV, with 100 QV, Sara’s order will make her ‘active’ for 30 days.  

Example 2:

Taylor enrols a new Member, Julie, who places an order of $150 with 100 BV/QV. Since a 20% PIB will be paid to Taylor, Julie’s Enrolling Sponsor, there will be a 20% reduction in BV to 80 BV, while QV remains 100.

  • With 100 QV, Julie placed a qualifying order.
  • Julie’s order counts as a qualifying enrollment for Taylor.
  • Taylor’s qualifying enrolment counts towards Leadership in Action and Rank Advancements. 

FAQs

A: Qualifying Volume (QV) is a point value assigned to each commissionable product (including packs). It is used to determine an Associate’s active status.

A: BV is what flows up the placement tree for compensation purposes. QV does not flow up the placement tree, and instead is used only to determine an Associate’s active status. BV and QV are typically the same on an order; however, if a discount or 20% PIB is applied to the order, BV may decrease, whereas QV typically will not. 

Example: Sara enrolls a new Member, Jessica, who places an order of $150 with 100 BV/QV during a 10% off promotion. The promotion will reduce her purchase price before taxes and BV by 10% to $135 and 90 BV, while QV remains at 100.

  • With 100 QV, Jessica placed a qualifying order.   
  • Jessica’s order counts as a qualifying enrollment for Sara.  
  • Sara’s qualifying enrollment counts towards LIA, Rank Advancements, Team Builders Club, etc.   
  • Sara and her upline receive 90 BV towards cycles. 

A: No,  QV will never convert. QV and BV are independent of one another. QV is used to determine active status and qualifying enrollments, while BV is used to determine pay.  

A: Yes, ‘Paid-As‘ ranks will now be based on  QV.

A: You will see QV anywhere PV used to appear. This includes many sections in the Associate Back Office, as well as reports and promotion pages.  

A: Yes. QV will replace PV. 

A: No, PV no longer exists. As a result, we are no longer tracking it.

A: This update will take place starting 12 April 11:00pm AEST and 13 April 1:00am NZST 2023. 

A: Yes. QV will act the same as PV did. Any additional QV that you order above 100 QV every 30 days will be applied to your Minor Sales Team. 

A: Any promotion that requires a Member to be personally active, or enroll an active Member, will now use QV to determine the active status. 

A: No. BV will typically only be discounted if a discount or 20% PIB was applied to that specific order. If neither of those was applied to the order, BV should remain unaffected.    

A: Beginning 12 April 2023 (11:00pm AEST and 13 April 1:00am NZST)  all markets will be using QV.
