It's important to help your new enrollees become "Activated" Beauty Guides by achieving their first $1,000 PRV in customer sales quickly. Generally, the best way to do this is help them schedule, plan, and conduct their "Grand Opening Beauty Show" within two weeks.

A Certified Mentor (CM) is responsible for providing training, coaching, and encouragement to the Beauty Guides coded to her. Your CM may be your personal Enroller or someone in your upline genealogy.When you reach the rank of Star Beauty Guide, you will have the opportunity to become a Certified Mentor for your team. Once you are certified, you will receive a special 2% BV CM Bonus on the sales of everyone who joins your team from then on, until someone else in your team becomes a CM. And, even when that happens, everyone in their team who joined prior to their certification will remain "coded" to you, meaning you were their original CM. Only the original CM for any Beauty Guide may receive the 2% CM Bonus.As a CM, you will share the responsibility for the support of each Beauty Guide on your team with that Beauty Guide's enroller and sponsor. The larger you build your team, the more significant your CM Bonus can be. To continue earning the CM Bonus, you must be a Paid As Star Beauty Guide or higher rank.

A Bonus Value is assigned to each product sold by each Beauty Guide for the purpose of calculating the appropriate revenue share based on the rules of the Compensation Plan. Each LimeLight by Alcone product carries an assigned "Bonus Value" (BV) that is usually 70% of SRP.

In addition, a Beauty Guide who has been promoted to a specific "rank" in the Career and Compensation Plan may also need to meet certain rank-specific maintenance requirements every month in order to be "Paid As" their earned rank for that month. If a Beauty Guide fails to meet the maintenance requirements for his or her rank in a particular month, they will be Paid As the rank for which they have qualified during that month.

"Paid As" and Rank Maintenance

LimeLight by Alcone recognizes that a Beauty Guide who is working hard to build her business will sometimes need a vacation to re-energize.

LimeLight by Alcone has provided for this by creating a "Vacation Month," in which these qualifications may be waived, if certain conditions are met.As long as you have been Active for at least four consecutive months and qualified to be "Paid As" your highest earned rank for the two months prior to your vacation request, you will qualify for a one time (per year) benefit of a Vacation Month. This means that you will be "Paid As" your highest rank based on the previous two months for all Enroller Bonuses and downline level and generation bonuses as well as for your rank appropriate Car/Lifestyle Bonus.

question
Upon meeting the qualifications for the rank of Star Beauty Guide, a Beauty Guide has the option of placing a new personal Enrollee under another Beauty Guide when this is appropriate for accelerated team building. We then recognize a "Placement Sponsor relationship" based on the sponsor position between these two Beauty Guides. This gives you the ability, as a Star Beauty Guide or above, to strategically build your business to achieve the maximum benefit from the talents, experience and capabilities of every member of your team. When you qualify as a Star Beauty Guide, we will train you how to use this important feature.
answer
Placement Option (Star Beauty Guides or Higher Rank Only)

After qualifying for the rank of Lead Beauty Guide, you may immediately begin qualifications for the rank of Star Beauty Guide. The Company has developed a special Star Beauty Guide Training Program, which provides the knowledge and tools to grow your business through enhanced team building. You must complete this training before being recognized as a Star Beauty Guide. This will now provide you with the option of placing a personally enrolled Beauty Guide under another member of your organization who you feel may be a good trainer and Sponsor.
answer
Star Beauty Guide Training
question
Level Bonuses are earned by and paid to Beauty Guides that are Active and bonus qualified at various ranks in the Compensation Plan. When a Beauty Guide fails to meet the minimum Active requirement for earning bonuses at his or her titled position, we will search down each line of your team until we find a Beauty Guide who is Active, no matter how far downline we have to look. That Active Beauty Guide's Personal Bonus Value for the Level plan will then be "Compressed" to include all the volume that may have been generated by all non-Active Beauty Guides in between to create the next level until the payout requirements of this Compensation Plan have been satisfied with Active Beauty Guide levels. The term "Compression" is used to describe the temporary condition that occurs when a Beauty Guide fails to meet their Active maintenance requirement for a particular pay period. Compression does not apply to the Enroller Bonus.
