Who qualifies to participate in the Fast Start Program?
New Brand Ambassadors can participate in the program. These Brand Ambassadors must be Commission Qualified and achieve the rank (Silver-Senior Ruby) within the designated time period in order to earn the Fast Start bonuses.
If any of my Personally Sponsored Brand Ambassador or VIP Customers who qualified me for the Silver 30-Day Fast Start Bonus cancel their account, or return their Welcome Pack and/or 100PV order, before I reach my 30 days, does that disqualify me for achieving my $100 30-Day Silver Fast Start Bonus?
In order to get paid the $100 30-Day Fast Start Bonus, you must have 3 new personally sponsored qualified (Level 1) Brand Ambassadors and/or VIP Customers. Once this is achieved within the 30 days, the bonus will be paid out in the weekly commission payout. If before that payout occurs, any of the 3 return their Welcome Pack or 100PV order or cancel their Brand Ambassador/VIP Customer membership, the sponsor must get another new qualified enrollment to achieve the Fast Start Bonus.
Day one for the Fast Start Program is the day after your upgrade to Ambassador date. For example, which is the correct start date, VIP upgrade or when they enroll one new VIP customer?
Once they choose to upgrade to a Brand Ambassador. This is not determined off their referrals. As an example, someone can convert to a Brand Ambassador with 5 previous referrals if they would like to and their clock for 30-Day Silver will not start until they convert.
Can I earn more than one Fast Start bonus at a time?
If you double (or more) Rank Up in a month and meet the qualifications within the Fast Start timeline, you are eligible to earn all the Fast Start Bonuses you qualify for. You will be paid out multiple bonuses in the achieving month in the monthly commission payout.
As a Sponsor, am I eligible to earn a Fast Start Bonus if my direct downline earned a Fast Start Bonus?
Yes. The upline Level 1, known as your personal Sponsor, will be eligible to earn a Sponsor Fast Start Bonus at the same time that their Level 1 earns their Fast Start Bonus as long as they are Commission Qualified for the month and their Level 1 Brand Ambassador achieves the rank in the monthly commissions cycle. There is no limit to how many Fast Start bonuses the Sponsor can earn per qualified Level 1 Brand Ambassador.
