The Partner.Co Compensation Plan Explained Simply (Analysis and Benefits)
The Partner.Co compensation plan (previously known for bringing together the Ariix and NewAge plans) is one of the most awarded remuneration systems in the direct selling sector. However, technical terms such as PV, Pay Line, Power Line and qualification cycles can feel intimidating when you are approaching this business for the first time.
In this article, we will look clearly and honestly at how you earn with Partner.Co and what the specific rules are for the Italian market.
What are the main income sources in Partner.Co?
The compensation plan includes eight different earning methods, which can be grouped into three main areas:
- Retail Profit: this is the difference between the product cost price and the price paid by the customer (up to 30%). In Italy, this profit starts from the very first sale and requires no qualification.
- Team Bonus (Base Commissions): commissions calculated on the volume of your Pay Lines (your team’s sales lines). You receive 15% of the volume generated in the Pay Line.
- Matching Bonus and Savings Bonus: additional bonuses linked to team growth and weekly turnover objectives, such as an extra 15% set aside from commissions and paid when a set threshold is reached.
How does the 100 PV qualification work in Italy?
Volume Points (PV) are a standard value assigned to each product. For example, Slenderiiz drops are worth about 50 PV.
- For Retail Profit: no minimum qualification is needed. You earn on every sale.
- For Team Bonuses: you must meet the 100 PV every 4-week cycle qualification.
- The AGCM Italy rule: to protect consumers and representatives, in Italy the qualifying 100 PV must come exclusively from sales made to real customers. Personal orders do not count towards monthly qualification, and self-qualification through personal purchases is excluded.
What is the difference between Business Levels and Career Levels?
This is a fundamental distinction that often causes confusion:
- Business Levels (Activated, Business, Elite, Ultimate): these are set at the start of your business (within the first 8 weeks) based on generated sales, and they permanently determine your earning percentage and the number of profit lines unlocked.
- Career Levels (Manager, Director, Officer, etc.): these are reached as your organisation grows and produces steady turnover. These levels indicate the size and success of your team, but they do not alter the basic percentages of the compensation plan.
