Elite Bonus

Check out last quarter’s bonus earners and qualifiers for this quarter.

When we say elite, we mean it. No other word can possibly explain the amazing reward our top income earners get every quarter. We call it the Elite Bonus because that’s what it is—the best reward for the best of the best.

And here’s how it works:

Earn a Bonus as a Top Income Earner
Each quarter, the top 20 income earners of USANA India at the beginning of that quarter will receive a share of 1% of our total Sales Volume Points (SVP) earned. The amount you can earn depends on your earnings from the current quarter and the absolute growth in Commission Volume Points (CVP) you achieve in the current quarter over the previous quarter.

Income and Growth Shares
The Elite pool is divided into 45 shares—30 for growth and 15 for income. The qualifying Associates earn a number of “income shares” and “growth shares” as follows:

• The number of income shares is determined by the proportion of income an Associate contributes to the total income of the 20 Associates.
• The number of growth shares is determined by the proportion of growth an Associate contributes to the total absolute CVP growth of the 20 Associates.

Example

Suppose our total Sales Volume for this quarter = 55,30,00,000 SVP
The Elite Bonus pool = 1% of 55,30,00,000 SVP or 53,30,000 (INR)

Rules

1. In ranking the top 20 income earners, all sources of income in the previous quarter (commission, Leadership Bonus, global contests, etc.) will be included. However, any Elite Bonus earned in the previous quarter will be excluded.
2. Growth is measured by the absolute CVP growth versus the corresponding quarter’s value. Only the basic commission (CVP) is measured—all other income (Leadership Bonus, front-line commission, Elite Bonus, etc.) is excluded.
3. If an Associate’s income registers a negative growth, the growth amount will be considered zero when calculating the total growth.

   Suppose Beli from the example on the Elite Bonus main page achieved a negative growth of 15,50,354 INR this quarter. The Elite Bonus will work out as follows:

   Associates	Current Quarter’s Income (INR)	Quarter’s Growth (INR)	Growth Shares	Income Shares	Total Shares	Elite Bonus (INR)
   #1 Kash	3,29,33,713	14,38,018	7.44	3.10	10.53	12,47,712

4. An Associate must be compliant and in good standing with their Associate Agreement and Terms & Policies to be eligible for Elite Bonus.
5. If for any reason one or more of the top 20 income earners becomes ineligible to receive the Elite Bonus, the Associate ranked immediately below will be moved up to replace them.
6. In the case of a tie in income earned in a quarter, the Associate with the higher growth will be placed ahead of the one with the lower growth.
7. In calculating income shares and growth shares, the number of shares will be rounded to two decimal places. Please note the number of individuals participating in the Elite Bonus may increase as sales increase. The number and frequency of individuals to be added has yet to be calculated.

FAQ

Q. How do I earn the Elite Bonus?
A. You must rank within the top 20 income earners among all USANA India Associates for one quarter. A quarter is a 13- or 14-week period as determined by USANA.

Q. How much is my Elite Bonus worth?
A. You earn a share of the Elite Bonus pool, which is 1% of USANA India’s Sales Volume Points (SVP) in a quarter. The value of that pool depends on USANA India’s sales, and your exact share depends on your actual earnings this quarter and the absolute CVP growth you achieve this quarter over the previous quarter.

Q. How is the value of my shares calculated?
A. This is based on two factors: your growth and relative earnings. The formula is calculated as follows:

SVP multiplied by Elite Bonus pool percentage divided by 45 (30 for growth and 15 for income).

For example, suppose USANA’s total Sales Volume for the quarter is 55,30,00,000 SVP SVP. The Elite Bonus pool is 1% of 55,30,00,000 SVP or 53,30,000 (INR)

Q. What happens if my CVP this quarter is lower than that of the previous year?
A. If your growth is negative, you earn no growth share for the quarter. The impact is a larger share for everyone else who does grow. (See Rule #4 for example.)

Q. Does my Leadership Bonus count toward my quarter’s income and growth shares?
A. It does for your income shares. For growth shares, USANA uses only the CVP you earn from your weekly base commission, i.e., what you earn by balancing the volume on the left and right sides of your Business Centres.

Q. Does my Elite Bonus count toward my income when determining income shares in the next quarter?
A. No, the Elite Bonus is always excluded.

Q. Are there any conditions I need to meet to qualify for Elite Bonus?
A. The same conditions for earning the Leadership Bonus apply to earning the Elite Bonus.

Q. What happens if an Associate in the previous quarter’s top 20 becomes ineligible for Elite Bonus?
A. Everyone moves up a rank and one more Associate is added.

Q. What happens if there is a tie in income earned in a quarter?
A. The Associate with the higher growth in the previous quarter will be qualified.

Q. Why does USANA reserve the right to increase the number of participants in the Elite Bonus when sales grow?
A. The Leadership Bonus will broaden the base of participating Associates as the company’s sales grow. For the Elite Bonus, this provision allows more top performers to benefit as USANA grows as well.
