The Partner.Co Compensation Plan Explained Simply (Analysis and Benefits)
The Partner.Co compensation plan (known in the past for uniting the Ariix and NewAge plans) is one of the most awarded compensation systems in the direct selling industry. However, technical terminology like PV, Pay Line, Power Line, and qualification cycles can frighten those approaching this activity for the first time.
In this article, we will analyze in a clear and honest way how you earn with Partner.Co and what the specific rules are for the Italian market.
What are the main sources of income in Partner.Co?
The compensation plan features eight different earning methods, which can be summarized into three main areas:
- Retail profit: This is the difference between the cost price of the product and the price paid by the customer (up to 30%). In Italy, this profit starts from the very first sale and does not require any qualification.
- Network 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 the achievement of weekly sales volume targets (e.g., an additional 15% set aside from commissions that is paid to you upon reaching a set threshold).
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 Network Bonuses: It is necessary to maintain a qualification of 100 PV every 4-week cycle.
- The AGCM Italy rule: To protect consumers and representatives, in Italy the 100 PV qualification must come exclusively from sales made to real customers. Personal orders do not count toward the monthly qualification, and self-qualification through personal purchases is excluded.
What is the difference between Business Levels and Career Levels?
This is a key distinction that often generates confusion:
- Business Levels (Activated, Business, Elite, Ultimate): These are established at the beginning of your business (within the first 8 weeks) based on sales generated, and permanently determine your earning percentage and the number of unlocked profit lines.
- Career Levels (Manager, Director, Officer, etc.): These are reached as your organization grows and produces steady sales volume. These levels indicate the size and success of your team, but do not alter the base percentages of the compensation plan.
