Compensation Example PERSONAL PRODUCTION COMPENSATION 30% Commission Paid on Personal ProductionPlan IV 6 mo adv Monthly Adv Commission THP $108 x 10/wk=43.3 plans=$4,676/month x 12 months= $56,118 Advanced Commission* +$56,118 Residual Commission** =$112,236 Annual Earned Income*$56,118 advanced commissions represents only ½ the total commission earned. **There is also $56,118 in residual income earned. The above example is assuming only 10 Plans per week are sold. Consider enrolling a Group of 49 employees. The Advance Commission alone would be $5,292. Then you would earn another $5,292 in residual income that year

on that group alone. Also, you would have $882/monthly residual income thereafter for the life of that business on the books.

Consider just one Group of 100 employees. The residual income would be $1,800 per month, month after month, year after year, for the life of that group’s business .

The above example does not include 15% - 34% Over-ride Commissions nor Trainer Bonuses.

Income examples shown are strictly illustrations of how commissions are earned in the compensation plan. Your earnings will depend solely on your efforts as you develop your business/agency.

Page 22: How To Market

Representative’s Options

You do have Options as a Representative (IBO).

Use them wisely and grow a solid group business portfolio.

Page 23: How To Market

Representative (IBO) OptionsIBO may waive $20 - $30 Registration Fees on each

employee if there are between 5 to 49 employees participating in payroll deduct.

This can be used as an incentive to get the business.

If IBO chooses to waive the Registration Fees, then IBO is paid on an as-earned basis and residual income will begin immediately .

If IBO does NOT waive the Registration Fees, then IBO is paid 6 months advance commission with residual income beginning month 7.

Page 24: How To Market

Options continued…

Split Team Commissions:

If IBO (Designated Hitter) has a team partner (Pitcher/Catcher) who assisted in the sale or set-up, IBO may split commissions with team partner at their agreed upon percentage. This split is accomplished by whose ID number is placed on each individual application.

ServiceYour Accounts

The Key to- Business Retention- Strong Residuals- Referrals- Alliances

Page 30: How To Market

Service Your Accounts - PersonallyYour Clients are Business

Owners. They are busy, harried, and under extreme stress.

They usually will not call you unless and until . . .

there’s already an unresolved problem , then it’s YOU in the

HOT SEAT ! Why not – - stay in touch on a regular basis- put out fires before they start - catch new business in the

process.

Page 31: How To Market

Service Your Clients - RegularlyAs soon as you sign a Group,

mark your calendar right then for a follow up call.

Make sure all is going well:-Confirm that employer received Group Administration Manual.-Confirm that employees have received their cards.-Are they are any concerns or questions?

Resolve any issues and mark your calendar for the next “service” call.

Send a “Thank You” Card.

Page 32: How To Market

Service Your Clients and serve your Business In one simple phone call each

month or so, you can…- Determine any new employees

to add to the group plan.- Ask for referrals of client’s

vendors.- Ask for referrals of client’s

competitors.- Discover any issues that can be

handled and resolved before they escalate.

- Find out about company events that you can sponsor or attend: picnics, Christmas parties, etc.

- Find out how your client is doing personally and professionally . . .

Is business good or struggling?

Page 33: How To Market

Service Your Clients – The Employees Remember, your clients are also the

employees. Although you cannot (and it is probably not

appropriate) to call each employee, you can keep in touch . . .

- Applications have their birth date and birth date of their household members

- Take a few minutes when you collect the initial paperwork to register these birthdates with an automatic birthday card service, whether US Mail or Email .

- Attend company functions (stay in touch and you’ll be extended invitations). Mingle with the employees at these company events.

- Call the employer to set up donuts or breakfast sandwiches or box/bag lunch delivery for staff or employee meetings.

- Remember also, our plans are portable; the employees can take them with them when they leave the company. The company may lose an employee, but you don’t have to lose the employee as a member.
