Purchasing a Welcome Pack

Brand Ambassadors/VIP Customers have three ways that they can purchase a Welcome Pack.

Earning and Receiving Commissions on Welcome Packs 

All Brand Ambassadors must be commission qualified to receive or contribute to any bonuses. As a Brand Ambassador, to qualify for weekly commissions:

• Your Annual Membership must be paid and current.
  AND
• You have at least 100 PV in the current month by the end of the weekly commissions cycle.
  
  OR
  
  
•  You were qualified in the prior month

If an upline Brand Ambassador is not qualified to receive weekly commissions at the time of the Welcome Pack purchase:

• The bonus will compress (See Definition: Compression below) to the next eligible Brand Ambassador.

To find more information about commissions and rank advancements, view the Compensation Plan and the PV page in your Virtual Office.

Welcome Packs: Shipping and Returns

How shipping works for Welcome Packs:

• All Welcome Pack items and promotional items are shipped together in one shipment as long as all items are in stock, and
• If one or more items are not in stock, the back ordered item(s) may ship separately.

How returns work for Welcome Packs:

• Brand Ambassador & VIP Customers may return a Welcome Pack under the Plexus Money Back Guarantee, however
• They may not purchase another Welcome Pack, except in the case of Plexus error or shipping error, and
• If a Brand Ambassador is going to miss out on commission due to a Welcome Pack return, they can purchase 100 PV worth of product to still become commission qualified.

Definition: Compression

Compression is a temporary calculation used when Plexus is calculating a Brand Ambassador's commissions and bonuses. In certain cases, it allows the Brand Ambassador to not miss out on commissions due to a non-qualified Brand Ambassador in their downline. 

How Compression works:

• A non-qualified Brand Ambassador’s position in the downline disappears and the next qualified Brand Ambassador rolls up or “compresses” and takes that position for purposes of calculation,
• The compression ensures you don’t lose income because a Brand Ambassador in your organization has failed to qualify for a given month, and 
• Compression will apply to Business Building Bonuses and Plexus Points.

For more information, view the Brand Ambassador Compensation Plan.
