Modere Rank Achievement Bonus

Modere have a rank achievement bonus that they call Rank Advancement Bonus. This bonus starts at the Modere Elite Social Marketing Team Leader Rank and the Modere Elite Social Marketer Rank 1. 

The Modere Social Marketing Team Leader rank achievement bonus is paid over a 3 month period with US$250 being paid each month as long as you maintain that rank during the 3 month period.

The Modere Elite Social Marketing Team Leader Rank 1 is paidin a similar way with US$4,000 being paid ever month over a 3 month period as long as the rank is maintained for that period. 

If you lose your rank during the second month but regain it for the 3rd month you will miss out on the 2nd month bonus payment but still get paid the 3rd month, assuming you re-qualify in time.

Modere also have a matching bonus which is for Modere Social Media Marketing Team Leader Ranks. With this matching bonus you can earn a 100% match of US$250 for the three monthly payments as long as your qualifying downline team member remains qualified. 

There is no matching bonus for the Modere Elite Social Marketer Rank 1.

Modere Retail Commissions

The retail commissions earned with the compensation plan vary between 10% and 20%. 

Retail commissions paid out by Modere range from 10% to 20%. Each retail sale also earns points in Modere customer unilevel. As a distributor you can earn a bonus percentage based on the amount of points accumulated as follows:

• less than 300 bonus points = 10%
• between 300 bonus points and 499 bonus points = 15%

A minimum of 100 In personal volume is needed to earn a 15% and 20% commission rate.

Monthly Sales Reward Bonus

This monthly sales reward bonus is for distributors that maintain a 100 Personal Volume in sales generated during a single month. 

The amount earned is based on your retail sales bonus and number of clients acquired as follows:

The Modere Breakout Bonus

This bonus is a recruitment bonus. 

When you manage to recruit a new distributor you earn a 25% commission of any products ordered by your newly recruited distributor during their first 30 days. 

A 10% commission is passed upline. 

Modere Residual Commissions

Modere calculate their pass up residual commissions using the very common and popular Unilevel model. 

This model has you at the top, and places your direct recruits, those that you personally recruit on your level 1. 

When your personal recruits recruit new distributors to the business opportunity they are placed below them on your level 2. 

The unilevel continues in this fashion.

The Modere Compensation Plan is explained excellently well in the video below. Click Play to enjoy. 

This is the one thing that I will always check for when it comes to studying a business opportunity - their standing with the Better Business Bureau. 

This helps us to see how professional they conduct business and how legally too. For the information gathered, including complaints we can form a basis of trust (or not) with them. 

I can report that Modere are fully accredited with the BBB and hold a perfect A+ rating. 

There are a number of complaints lodged at the Better Business Bureau, these are complaints that I take much more seriously than "Jibber Jabber" written on public forums and complaints boards. 

It appears that there are some concerns regarding their products and the company failing to refund users their money. 

This is something that you should be aware of because your clients will be barking up your tree if you sold them a faulty product and they are having a problem getting a refund!. 

No. 

None of Modere's products are approved by the FDA.

The Food And Drug Administration of America do not approve of dietary supplement or natural products for the use on or in the human body to treat, cure or prevent any known illnesses or diseases. 

I also see no indicationof any of their products being manufactured to any known safety standards such as the cGMP which is an examination conducted by the FDA. 

Modere do claim that their products are chemical free, toxin free and when possible use all natural ingredients. 

It is also claimed that their products are not tested on animals. 

I have seen no indication or evidence of this other than lip service. Those claims remain unconfirmed until an independent authority or association confirms them. 

There are some things that I did like about Modere and their business opportunity, which were: 

• Fully Accredited By The Better Business Bureau And Perfectly Rated at A+
• You are Not Fully Dependent on face to face selling
• Eco-friendly products.
• There are lot of positive reviews regarding their products
• Their products are consumable item meaning there is a potential for repeat custom
• Natural Ingredients are used in their products.

In this section I like to state facts and figures and demonstrate to you your income potential and likeliness of success. 

Let's have a look at the Modere Income Disclosure Statement. 

Looking at this chart you can see that almost 1 in 3 distributors did not earn a single dime!. 

Only 1.83% Managed to earn US$29,277.57 which is total earning not including taxes or business expenses. 

This just shows you and indicates to me that you will find it very difficult to earn a full-time income from the Modere Business Opportunity. 

Note: Rather conveniently missing from the income disclosure statement is how long it to to reach certain ranks and make what is liveable income.

More often than not earning a very normal income with a network marketing opportunity takes a number of years, typically 6-7 years to achieve. 

A lot people see an MLM and automatically think that they are pyramid schemes. And by the nature of network marketing many, if not all, do look like pyramid schemes. 

But given the smart lawyers and the 1979 Amway case and clever wording not all direct selling opportunities can be seen - at least legally as a pyramid scheme. 

Mainly this is due to having a retail element attached to their business. 

Due to this fact, Modere cannot be seen nor considered as a pyramid scheme. 

Yes, 

Modere is a MLM business opportunity. This is easily concluded considering their rather convulted compensation plan paying out 8 levels deep and the company's business model. 

In my opinion and a legal definition of a scam is when there is a deliberate and intentional act of deception that causes a financial loss. 

I see no intentional or unintentional acts of deception with Modere at all and therefore cannot consider Modere to be a scam. 

They are a legitimate business with an opportunity attached to them. 

One thing to clarify, Modere is NOT a scam. 

They do have rather long, difficult and complex compensation plan. I do have to say there there are a lot of nice and interesting touches to it that encourage sales rather than recruitment or slamming recruits onto autoship. 

Modere have gotten in to the habit of attracting unwanted attention from lawyers and already have a few lawsuits behind them and I am predicting more. 

There are a lot of concerning complaints regarding some of their products side effects and refusing to honour refunds. 

This is an opportunity to approach with caution. If You do decide to go ahead, Read This Article For Tips on Generating More MLM Sales For Your Business.
