Executive Rank – Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is Executive rank qualification based on calendar quarters?
A. No. Over the course of any given 13 weeks, you can earn enough cumulative Commission Volume Points (CVP) to become an Executive at your current level.
Q. What if I have a bad week—will that affect my qualification?
A. Not as much as you would think. You qualify for Executive with cumulative CVP over any given 13-week period. So if you have a bad week, you can make up for it with a few good weeks. You just need to get to your total.
Q. What happens if I hit my cumulative CVP total in eight weeks?
A. That’s great. Because then you’re an Executive at your current level. Whenever you hit the cumulative total, you will earn a year of Executive rank and all the benefits that come with it.
Q. What happens if I don’t generate enough CVP in any given 13-week period before my anniversary date?
A. You will no longer carry an Executive rank, or be entitled to the benefits that come with it. But each week you have a chance to regain Executive rank.
Every week we add up your cumulative CVP from the previous 13 to see if you earned Executive again. When you do earn it again, you will enjoy a year of benefits and your qualification anniversary will reset to that date.
Q. I already requalified for Executive rank. If I reach my CVP total for another 13-week period, do I qualify for an extra year of Executive rank?
A. No. You can’t bank qualification for Executive rank. Even if you have two or three 13-week periods where you reach your cumulative CVP requirements, you can only qualify for Executive rank a year at a time.
Q. What if I rank advance during my year of Executive rank?
A. We won’t ever cut your Executive benefits short. You will always have a year of enhanced recognition and event benefits at the level you earned them.
But you can qualify at your new level at any time. If you haven’t achieved the cumulative CVP requirements for your new rank by your anniversary, you will be without an Executive rank until you earn it at the new level.
One more thing to remember: the date you achieve Executive at your new level will be your anniversary date going forward.
For example, if you’re an Executive Gold Director with a January qualification anniversary and you advance to Ruby six months into your year of Executive, you will still have six more months of benefits at the Executive Gold level. Then you reach the cumulative CVP requirements for Executive Ruby in December—a month before your anniversary. Now, that December date is your new qualification anniversary, and you earn a year of benefits at Executive Ruby.
Q. How will I know if I am eligible for Executive benefits at an event?
A. Our main conventions have recognition cutoff dates. You will need to hold an Executive rank at the time of the cutoff to be recognized as an Executive and earn the benefits for that particular event.
For smaller, regional events, the qualifications for benefits and recognition will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Q. At a convention or event, which rank will I be recognized at if I am a Ruby Director who hasn’t reached Executive at my current level, but still has Executive Gold benefits?
A. You will be recognized at your highest rank, which in this case would be Ruby Director. But you will only be eligible for Executive Gold benefits at the event.
Q. If I advance to Diamond and then 1-Star Diamond Director in the same year, at which level will I need to qualify to attend the Executive Diamond Retreat?
A. You will need to achieve the 13-week cumulative CVP requirements for a 1-Star Diamond Director. In any case of multiple advancements in a year, you would need to achieve the requirements for your current, highest rank.
Q. Does being an Executive Ruby or an Executive Emerald Director automatically earn me a place on my regional growth trip?
A. No. It’s highly likely that, by reaching Executive at these ranks, you would qualify for these trips. But you would still need to earn each trip by following its unique requirements and rules. If you attend your regional growth trip, you can take advantage of the enhanced recognition and other benefits available.
Q. If I’m attending my second consecutive regional growth trip as an Executive Ruby, do I earn enhanced recognition?
A. You can only get the enhancements to regional growth trips once per level. So you would need to advance to Emerald Director and become an Executive at that level to get the enhanced recognition on that year’s trip.
Q. What happens if I rank advanced to Gold Director during the fourth quarter of 2014 and earned Executive that way?
A. You will hold an Executive rank for the first quarter of 2015, but you will lose your benefits after that if you don’t qualify under the new rules—by achieving your cumulative CVP for any given 13-week period.
Q. I hit my CVP requirement and earned Executive in the fourth quarter of 2014. Do I earn a full year of Executive?
A. Yes, you do. We will look back 13 weeks from January 9, 2015—the launch date of our upgraded Executive program—to see if you earned an Executive rank during that period.
If you reached the cumulative CVP requirement during that period, you will be an Executive at the time of launch. Your qualification anniversary will be January 9, 2015, and you’ll have a year of benefits from that date.
Q. Will I have to wait 13 weeks to earn Executive under the new rules?
A. You won’t have to wait. You could already be qualified if you earned the required CVP in the 13 weeks prior to January 9, 2015. But if you didn’t achieve Executive rank during that period, you have a chance to earn it each week going forward.
Each week we will calculate your CVP total for the prior 13 weeks to see if you qualify. When you reach the 13-week cumulative CVP requirement, that date will become your qualification anniversary.
