6 WAYS TO EARN WITH USANA
GETTING STARTED
6 Ways to Earn with USANA
RETAIL SALES
When you purchase products at our special Preferred Price and sell them to your customers at retail price, you earn an immediate profit. Retail selling is the surest method of earning immediate income, even as you build a long-term organization of Associates and satisfied customers.
WEEKLY COMMISSIONS
With USANA’s Binary Compensation Plan, you build your business by placing team members on both the left and right side of your organization. Each product has a point value, and the points from product sales will begin to flow up through your business when you and your team members purchase product for personal use and re-sell to customers. The points accumulated by your team are known as Group Sales Volume, and you’ll receive weekly commissions based on where the Group Sales Volume on the left side of your business matches the Group Sales Volume on the right
LIFETIME MATCHING BONUS
For all Associates you sponsor who become Premier Platinum PaceSetters, you will receive up to a 15 percent match of their commission volume for the life of their USANA businesses*. The percentage you receive depends on your own status:
PACESETTER PROGRAM
An Associate has the opportunity to qualify for USANA PaceSetter program, which allows him or her to maximize potential Lifetime Matching Bonus earnings. PaceSetter status is determined by the number of Associates he or she sponsors and Sales Volume Points (SVP) they generate during the first eight weeks.
PREMIER PLATINUM PACESETTER REQUIREMENTS
Within eight weeks of enrollment, generate 1,600 SVP from four or more personally sponsored Associates who activated their Business Center
PREMIER PACESETTER REQUIREMENTS

ANNUAL OPPORTUNITY

INCENTIVES
You can be rewarded with luxury travel, prizes, and privileges through USANA’s generous incentive programs and contests.
LEADERSHIP BONUS
Each week, three percent of the total company commissionable sales volume is divided among qualifying Associates ranked Gold Director or higher. If you qualify, your share will depend on your leadership rank, the number of Business Centers you maximize in the current week, and whether those same Business Centers were also maximized the previous week .
ELITE BONUS
Each quarter, one percent of the total company commissionable sales volume is divided among the Top 60 income earners of the previous quarter. If you qualify, your share will depend on your position (i.e. your rank in the Top 60) in the previous quarter, your actual earning for the current quarter, and the absolute growth in your Commission Volume Points (CVP) over the corresponding quarter in the previous Year.
Before You Begin
Before you begin building a business, you’ll need to fill out the proper paperwork. First, complete and sign an Associate Application and Agreement form. Then, submit the original to USANA’s Data Processing office with appropriate payment for a Business Development System (BDS). You may also submit this information electronically through Online Enrollment. Once we’ve received and processed your application, you may begin building a USANA business by sponsoring other people as Associates or Preferred Consultants. USANA Associates may immediately begin purchasing products at Preferred Pricing for their personal consumption and have the added benefit of being allowed to resell products purchased at Preferred Pricing for a retail profit.
Getting Started
When you purchase products—both for your personal use and to re-sell to retail customers you’ll begin to accumulate points from each product. You’ll need to generate a certain number of points each month to keep your business active—this is Personal Sales Volume. But don’t worry, you’re not alone. USANA’s Binary Compensation Plan is built to help you succeed, and it centers around teamwork. The points your team members accumulate individually are pooled together into Group Sales Volume. It’s your Group Sales Volume—the amount of points your team accumulates together—that determine the size of your commissions.
STEP 1: OPEN YOUR BUSINESS CENTER(S)
STEP 2: SIGN UP FOR AUTO ORDER
STEP 3: BEGIN TO BUILD
OPEN YOUR BUSINESS CENTER(S)
The Binary Compensation plan is centered around Business Centers. A Business Center is the hub of your business-building activity, through which your product purchases, volume, and sales accumulate; it’s similar to opening a store for your business. To begin, you can choose to build your team around one or three Business Centers, based on whether you’d like to start a small business or a large business— it’s up to you.
OPENING ONE BUSINESS CENTER
To open one Business Center and begin earning commissions, you’ll need to generate 200 points in Personal Sales Volume. You can generate the required volume through a single order for your personal use and/or for your customers, or it can be accumulated through many orders— just remember, your Business Center won’t open until you generate enough Personal Sales Volume.
