Recognition Name / Preferred Name
The recognition name or preferred name is how Associates’ distributorships are recognized in USANA announcements. If there is not a preferred name selected, Associates will be recognized by a first and last name or a business name.
When you request a preferred name on your USANA account, you will be recognized by that name in weekly reports, convention awards, and any other reports or publications that USANA may send out. If more than one person is to be listed in the preferred name, both parties must be associated with the account, such as co-applicants, partners, etc., or they must be husband and wife. Please see the following examples:
-
Jane Doe and John Doe are married, but John is not listed on the distributorship. Since Jane and John are married, the preferred name can be listed as Jane and John Doe.
-
Jane Doe is the applicant, John Morrison is the co-applicant. Since John is the co-applicant, the preferred name can be listed as Jane Doe and John Morrison.
-
Jane Doe and John Morrison have a distributorship and have a DBA (Doing Business As) listed as “Health Supplements.” Since Jane and John are partners in the distributorship, the preferred name can be listed as Jane Doe and John Morrison or Health Supplements.
-
Jane Doe is an Associate and is dating John Morrison, who is also an Associate. Since Jane and John have separate distributorships and are not married, they must be listed separately and cannot include each other in the preferred name on their accounts.
