Improve Your Status with PaceSetter Requalification

Improve Your Status with PaceSetter Requalification

---

 

USANA’s new PaceSetter program was unveiled at the 2010 International Convention, and now is your chance to qualify for “annual” PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter status!

From August 27 to midnight (MDT), October 22, 2010, you have the opportunity to increase your Matching Bonus payout percentage by qualifying as a PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter. You will then enjoy your updated status until your next enrolment anniversary, at which point you’ll have eight weeks to requalify for “annual” status for the following year.

A Year of Benefits
If you didn’t qualify as a PaceSetter when you first joined USANA, you can still earn the same Matching Bonus payout percentage by qualifying as an “annual” PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter. A Premier PaceSetter and an "annual" PaceSetter both earn the same Matching Bonus payout—50 percent—but one qualifies for a lifetime of benefits, while the other has to qualify or requalify annually.

Your status:	You receive:
Premier Platinum or Platinum PaceSetter	100% match of your new Premier Platinum PaceSetter’s earnings
Premier PaceSetter or PaceSetter	50% match of your new Premier Platinum PaceSetter’s earnings
Associate	25% match of your new Premier Platinum PaceSetter’s earnings

How to Qualify

 
You will have the eight weeks between August 27 and midnight (MDT), October 22, 2010 to improve your PaceSetter status and your Matching Bonus payout percentage using the following guidelines:

• Become a PaceSetter when, within the eight-week period, you personally sponsor two or more new Associates who activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 Sales Volume Points (SVP).
• Become a Platinum PaceSetter when, within the eight-week period, you personally sponsor four or more new Associates who activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 1,600 SVP.
• Premier PaceSetters can use this eight-week period to qualify as annual Platinum PaceSetters and improve their Matching Bonus payout.
• As a Premier PaceSetter, you will qualify as an annual Platinum PaceSetter when, within the eight-week period, you personally sponsor two or more new Associates who activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP.

Frequently Asked Questions

 
Q. What if I became an Associate just before Convention and was still working on finalizing my PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter status when the changes were announced?
A. You must finalize under the rules of the old PaceSetter program. After you have reached the end of your original qualification time you will be eligible to participate in the Convention qualification opportunity.

Q. What if my enrolment anniversary is in December? If I qualify for “annual” PaceSetter/Platinum PaceSetter now, will I have to requalify again in December?
A. Yes. Starting on the anniversary of your enrolment date, you will have eight weeks to requalify.

Q. If I am neither a PaceSetter nor a Platinum PaceSetter, can I qualify as an annual PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter?
A. Yes.

Q. What if I am a Premier Platinum PaceSetter? Do I need to requalify?
A. No. As a Premier Platinum PaceSetter, you will be eligible to receive a 100-percent Matching Bonus match throughout your entire USANA career.

Q. What if I was a Platinum PaceSetter before Convention? Do I need to requalify?
A. No. If you had already qualified as a Platinum PaceSetter you are now a Premier Platinum PaceSetter. If you were already qualified as a PaceSetter before Convention, you are now a Premier PaceSetter.

Q. How often will I have to requalify to earn the maximum Matching Bonus payout percentage?
A. You will have the eight-week period between August 27 and midnight (MDT) on October 22, 2010. After that, you will have to requalify during the eight-week period following your enrolment anniversary each year.

Q. If my fourth new Associate enrolls at the end of the eight-week qualification period, but all four don’t collectively generate 1,600 SVP before October 22, will I still be a Platinum PaceSetter?
A. No. You will have to meet the standards listed above in the eight-week period. All enrolments and SVP generated must occur during that eight-week period ending at midnight (MDT) on October 22.

Q. As a Premier PaceSetter, if I fail to qualify for an increase to annual Platinum PaceSetter status during the post-Convention requalification period, what will my Matching Bonus percentage be?
A. It will remain at 50 percent. As a Premier PaceSetter, you have qualified for at least 50 percent Matching Bonus payout for a lifetime. During the post-Convention requalification period, and every year starting on the anniversary of your enrolment date, you will have eight weeks to improve your status to receive Matching Bonus at the Platinum PaceSetter level for an entire year until the anniversary of your enrolment date comes up again.

Q. If I don’t take advantage of the post-Convention requalification period now, will I ever have a chance to qualify as an annual PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter?
A. Yes. Regardless of whether or not you take advantage of USANA’s post-Convention requalification period, you will still have eight weeks to qualify for annual PaceSetter/Platinum PaceSetter status each year beginning at the anniversary of your enrolment date.

Q. Will any SVP generated by my new Associates AFTER October 22 count toward my annual PaceSetter/Platinum PaceSetter status during this requalification period?
A. No. Any SVP generated after midnight (MDT) on October 22 will not count for the post-Convention requalification period.

Example: If four of your personally sponsored Associates collectively generate only 1,400 SVP before midnight on October 22, but they generate an extra 300 over the next two days to bring the total to 1,700, you will still qualify as a PaceSetter, not a Platinum PaceSetter.
