Once you begin to personally sponsor other Distributors, the Fast Start Bonus is your quick cash flow system. This bonus is paid every week so you can get money into your pocket quickly. (In some new countries the Fast Start Bonus is temporarily paid monthly or biweekly during the time that computer programs and accounting systems are being finished.)

The Fast Start Bonus program pays you on five generations of Distributors in your marketing organisation. It is important to remember that this is five generations of your "personal" sponsorship genealogy - not five "placement" levels. In other words, a person who has been "placed" in the under you by your sponsor will not be counted as a generation for Fast Start Bonus purposes. The Fast Start Bonus is paid according to personal sponsorship genealogy. An explanation of Sponsoring is available elsewhere on this site.

The chart to the left below represents how Fast Start Bonus commissions are paid from your perspective at the top of the organisation. ie. How much you receive on each descending generation in your organisation.

       

The chart to the right above represents the flow of commissions based on the purchase of one case of product. In the example, X purchases one case of product. He is on your first generation. This means that you receive the 20% commission on his purchase. Since X is on D's second generation, D receives 5%. (D will receive 20% on your purchase of a case because you are on D's first generation.) In other words, wherever a purchase takes place in the organisation, the commissions are paid upline according to how many generations below you the purchase took place. In this example, A gets 10% on X's purchase because X is on A's fifth generation. B and C would each get 5% as X is on their fourth and third generations respectively. Further illustrations will continue to apply to purchases made by X. (Just keep in mind that whatever is true for X, the same will apply to any purchase anywhere in the network.)

If you are already confused, don't worry about how the figures work. Just learn this:

Before the computer pays out the Fast Start Commissions, it asks two questions:

1. 60 Day Rule. Has X been a new Distributor for less than 60 days? If the answer to this question is "yes", then the computer goes on to question #2. If the answer is "no", then no Fast Start Bonus will be paid. The commissions will be paid according to the Unilevel Royalty program instead. Fast Start Bonus commissions are paid only on purchases made by Distributors who have been in the program less than 60 days. (NOTE: The computer actually calculates the 60 days from the time the Distributors makes his first purchase, not from the signup date. If a Distributor did not purchase any product when he signed up, then the 60-day clock would not start to run until he made his first purchase.)
2. Sponsor CAS Rule. If the answer to the previous question is "yes", the computer next asks: Is the personal sponsor of the purchaser on the Case Auto Ship (CAS)? If the answer is "no," then no Fast Start Bonus will be paid. The commissions will be paid according to the Unilevel Royalty schedule. In order for Fast Start Bonus to be paid on any purchase, the personal sponsor of the Distributor who is purchasing the case, must be on CAS. If the answer to the question is "yes," then Fast Start Bonus will be paid as scheduled.

You should note that anyone in the upline who is not on Case Auto Ship will not be paid Fast Start Bonuses. To be eligible to receive Fast Start Bonuses, you must be on CAS. If not, the computer will skip around you and pay your percentage to the next CAS-qualified person on the next generation above you. For instance, if B and D were not on CAS, then the commission would be adjusted to include two new generations - Y and Z would receive a commission from the purchase.

Now let's look at how the personal rebate affects Fast Start Commissions. If the purchaser buys more than one case of product during the same calendar month, then the purchaser becomes eligible for a 20% personal rebate on all cases in excess of his first case. This is a way to reward Distributors who retail more product.

Let's suppose that X buys a second case of product during the month. The 20% is paid to X as his personal rebate. The other commission percentages are shifted accordingly. Compare the following two situations:

First Case Purchased This Month		Second Case Purchased the Same Month
