EARNING WITH PRES LES

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO EARN?

HOW DO I EARN?

AS A SALES CONSULTANT, YOU HAVE 2 OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN EACH MONTH:

PERSONAL SALES COMMISSION

RECRUITING COMMISSION

EARN MORE BY SELLING AND RECRUITING MORE!

PERSONAL SALES COMMISSION

• Pres Les offers three convenient ways your Customer can buy, depending on your Customer’s unique payment preferences. (See the “Types of Orders” section).

• Your Personal Sales Commission on each order depends on which order type your Customer selects.

• Your Personal Sales Commission is a percentage of the Nett Product Value of each order type as indicated below.

22%

16%

12% THE NETT PRODUCT VALUE OF AN ORDER IS THE TOTAL ORDER VALUE AFTER ANY APPLICABLE DISCOUNT, AND EXCLUDING VAT AND DELIVERY FEES.

RECRUITING COMMISSION

RECRUIT TO EARN

Recruiting is the key to long-term success in your Pres Les Business.

The more your Team sells - The more you will earn monthly!

• You earn Recruiting Commission on levels.

• As your Team’s sales grow, so does your earnings!

How to earn more MONEY (COMMISSION) from your personal Recruits?

If you, as the Recruiter, sell more than 1 point (R 7 200) over 3 months period, you will earn between 5% to 10% commission from the sales of your personal Recruits.

HOW DOES RECRUITING COMMISSION WORK?

Because your personal sales are less than 1 point over the last 3 months, you only earn on LEVEL 1.

For recruiting commission, all order types counts 100%.

I.e. 1 point of sales = 1 point for recruiting commission

Because your personal sales are at least 1 point over the last 3 months, you earn from LEVEL 2 and above.

RECRUITMENT ACTIVITY - EXAMPLE 1

If your personal Recruits achieve 16 POINTS in September

RECRUITMENT ACTIVITY - EXAMPLE 2

If your personal Recruits achieve 33 POINTS in September

HINT: By making sure you have at least 1 point of accepted sales in the last 3 months, you maximise your earning potential on recruiting commission.

PRES LES OFFERS DIFFERENT ORDER TYPES TO SUIT YOUR CUSTOMER’S NEEDS

Is Credit the right choice for your Customer?

• With the Credit Order type, NO DEPOSIT is required and your Customer only starts paying once they have received their products.

Is Cash the right choice for your Customer?

• With a Cash or Credit Card Order, your Customer receives an additional 2.5% discount on the total value of their order if they pay the full purchase price upfront.

Is Fixed Plan the right choice for your Customer?

• Fixed Plan Orders are for Customers who are not able to qualify for credit and not able to pay the full cash price upfront.

• The Fixed Plan Order type allows your Customer to pay a 25% deposit, and the balance of the purchase price over the next 3 months.
