What is compensation plan design?

Compensation plan design defines how a direct selling or MLM company pays its distributors. It sets the volumes, ranks, qualifications and bonuses, and shows what the plan costs as your field grows. A well-designed plan rewards the behaviors that grow your business and is clear enough for any commission software to calculate.

  1. Rewards the right behaviors
  2. Stays within your budget
  3. Clearly defined, so any provider can build it right

ByDesign Compensation Plan Consulting FAQ

What does a compensation plan consultant do?

A compensation plan consultant helps a direct selling company decide how to pay its field and documents those decisions in full. At ByDesign, that means guiding you through strategy, drafting the plan, modeling what it will cost, and delivering test cases so your commission software provider can build it correctly.

What does a compensation plan design include?

Four deliverables:

  • A detailed compensation plan defining every volume, rank, qualification and bonus.
  • A payout model showing costs under conservative, expected and top-heavy results.
  • Accuracy test cases with expected payouts.
  • A field-ready plan summary for your distributors.

How much does compensation plan consulting cost?

ByDesign’s compensation plan design consultation is one flat fee of $5,000. It includes up to four consultation calls, two rounds of revisions, and a finished plan you own.

Can you help us change our existing compensation plan?

Yes. We review how your current plan runs, model what changes for the company and the field, and help you plan the transition and the field announcement, so you can improve the plan without losing the leaders who built your business.

Do I need to use ByDesign software?

No. Your finished plan is compatible with any commission software provider, so you can build it anywhere.

Is the payout model a guarantee of earnings?

No. Payout projections are estimates, not guarantees of company results or distributor earnings. We recommend having legal counsel experienced in direct selling review your final plan.
