Plexus Point System
The Plexus point system was designed to:
1.Provide profit sharing to all Ambassadors from
Day One.
2.Give Ambassadors an income formula that
would remain the same.
3.Encourage all Ambassadors to work together
for the benefit of everyone.
PV = Product Value
Each product sold by Plexus has a PV or Product Value
Example: Plexus Slim (30 day)
It is not necessarily the sales price or retail price.
At the end of the month Plexus adds up all the PV from all the sales that month.
50% goes to the company
50% goes to the Ambassadors
Cost PV
Retail $114.95 105.00
Preferred $99.85 90.00
Wholesale $89.95 80.00
Distribution of Ambassador PV
50% of Total PV
Less 3% for Emerald Pool
Less 1% for Sapphire Pool
Less 1% for Diamond Pool
Balance of 45% distributed to all Ambassadors – None goes
back to the company.
How the Value of Plexus Points are calculated:
For each Qualified Ambassador in your organization you earn points.
Plexus Point Earned by you as an Ambassador
1st Level 5
2nd Level 5
3rd Level 5
4th Level 4 Total 25 Points
5th Level 3
6th Level 2
7th Level 1
Monthly Formula to determine Point Value
A = 45% of total PV earned from all sales for month
B = Total Points earned by all Ambassadors for month
A/B = Actual Plexus Point value for the month
If every Ambassador did exactly $100 PV a month,
the value of a Plexus Point would be:
50% of 100 PV = $50
Less 5% for Pools = $ 5
$45
Maximum Points per $100 PV = 25
45/25 = $1.80 Plexus Pay Points Value
If every Ambassador only did $100 PV per month, the Plexus Pay Points would be
worth $1.80.
However, if every Ambassador did $200 PV the Plexus Points would be worth $3.60.
What would it take to have the Plexus Pay Points worth over $5.00?
If the average Ambassadorship did $300 a month the Plexus Pay Points would be
$5.40
Who controls the value of the Plexus Pay Points?
YOU DO!!!
If you do the minimum of $100 PV a month, you are
dragging down the value of the Plexus Pay Point.
If you do an average of $200 PV a month, you are
helping to maintain the Points at over $3.
If you do over $300 PV a month, you are helping to
increase the value of the Plexus Pay Points.
Importance of Customers
Customers are the key to increasing the value of the
Plexus Pay Points.
Currently 40% of all sales are ordered directly by
customers.
An estimated 20 – 30 % more product is sold by
Ambassadors to their customers.
Here’s why customers are so important:
Sales directly or indirectly to customers increase the earnings of
an Ambassadorship.
The more PV generated by each Ambassadorship, the higher
the value of the Plexus Pay Points.
So once again…. Who controls the value of the Plexus Pay
Points each month?
Hint: It’s NOT the company

Compensation Plan
Purpose of the Comp Plan:
• To encourage Ambassadors to build their business
correctly.
• To reward Ambassadors when they do, in as many
ways as possible.
One of our incentive is not working out as well as we had hope.
When we originally developed the Comp Plan, we allowed husbands & wives to be
signed up under one another. Most other companies don’t. They say “One
Ambassadorship per family”.
We intended that this would be a huge benefit to the couples who signed up under
one another – “double-dipping” was designed to help couples earn almost double
the money.
Most couples used this comp plan feature as it was intended.
But more and more, the husband & wife sign up privilege is being used in a way that is
creating a negative impact on the Ambassadors.
Here’s how:
Mary Signs up a couple, John & Jane
John Signs up first
Jane Signs up under John
So far so good.
But…. Here’s what we are seeing happen:
John only does $100 PV – just enough to qualify to earn a check.
Jane is out working the business hard, sponsoring new Ambassadors and
signing up customers.
John and Jane are winning, but because John earns extra from Jane’s efforts,
Mary and every other Ambassador is losing.
Here’s what’s making this situation critical:
John and Jane think they have beat the system. So they sponsor another couple and
teach them to do the same thing, beat the system.
On and on it goes…
Soon here’s how Mary’s one leg looks:
Mary
John $100 Ambassador
Jane $ $$ Senior Gold
Ed $100 Ambassador
Susan $ $$ Senior Gold
Bill $100 Ambassador
Cindy $ $$ Gold
Frank $100 Ambassador
Betty $ $$ Silver
It looks like Mary is 8 Levels deep.
But in fact, she is only 4 Levels deep because the other 4 position are just dummy
positions, doing the minimum in volume and pushing volume down one level.
This system is hurting all Ambassadors
1. It is driving volume down lower and lower into the
organization.
2. It is lowering the value of the Plexus Pay Points.
3. It is rewarding people for building their business the wrong
way.
We need to make a change to the Comp Plan to deal with this!
New Policy regarding Husband and Wife Teams
You will only be allowed to sponsor your spouse directly
underneath you, when you have achieved the rank of
a Gold Ambassador.
This will take effect September 1, 2014.
What about couples who are already signed up and misusing the privilege?
If you and your spouse are signed up and one position is not active, just doing the
minimum 100 PV, we are asking that you voluntarily get both positions to at least Silver
by December 31st.
We do not like making changes to the Comp Plan. However, when some feature of
the Comp Plan is being abused and hurting all Ambassadors, we have to take action.
We have done that.
