doTERRA’s Compensation Plan is easy to follow with 5 main parts — including multiple pools.
We applaud them for spelling it out in great detail in the Compensation Plan section of their Policy Manual.
As we usually do in compensation breakdowns, InFirstMarketing groups the plans a little differently than doTERRA- see InFirstMarketing methodology for analyzing MLM compensation plans to learn more about how we standardize these groupings.
doTERAA Uni-level Bonus
The Uni-level Bonus is exactly what you think of for Network Marketing compensation, and is where you should focus your efforst. It is much easier to understand in the grid below.
doTERRA pays this bonus monthly on the volume of a Wellness Advocate’s (WA) organization and the bonus is available up to 7 levels deep- depending on the advocate’s rank.
doTERRA’s Uni-level Bonus starts at 1 level for a consultant and goes down to 7 levels by the time you each Silver.
Each level’s bonus percentage remains the same and does not change with the Wellness Advocate’s rank (ie Level 1 is always 2%, Level 4 is always 5%). The percentage does increase the further you go down the levels.
Uni-level Frequently Asked Questions
How does Compression Work?
The Uni-level Bonus benefits from compression. This means if a Wellness Advocate does not qualify for the Uni-level bonus, their sponsor will receive it instead. The purpose of this is to reward effort of those doTERRA Wellness Advocates that continue to provide leadership.
doTERRA Retail Bonus
It’s simple — 25%. Orders placed by customers will earn a 25% commission for the Wellness Advocate.
Business Launch Bonuses
This is the category focused on getting new Wellness Advocates to focus on launching their business. Launching right can make all the different in seeing success.
At doTERRA, this is only 1 bonus in this category.
doTERRA Fast Start Bonus
Fast Start Bonus is paid the first 60 days of a WA’s enrollment and it is designed to achieve momentum quick.
The new WA receives a 20% commission on all new Wellness Advocate and wholesale customers enrolled and a 10% commission on advocates they enroll. There is a 5% bonus at level 3.
Te receive this, the WA needs to have LRP or “Loyalty Reward Program” set to at least 100 personal volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Fast Start roll-up – and the answer is no. If an advocate doesn’t qualify for the 20, 10 or 5 percent, the bonus isn’t given to one of their sponsors. As you can see – it does not take a lot to qualify.
- Is there also a Uni-level bonus paid on these orders? The answer is also no.
InfirstMarketing considers the Uni-level bonus to be the main part of the doTerra’s compensation where you should focus your efforts, but the Fast Start is essentially incentivizing the same structure, it is just giving some bigger commissions while the wellness advocate is growing their business.
Business Leadership
The bonuses and pool of the business leadership section keep your business gliding once it is up and running.
