2024 Rank Up Bonus

Your 2024 Rank Up Base Rank is:

• The highest Paid-As Rank that was held for any three months or more in the past 5 years (not necessarily consecutive) OR
• It is the base rank of Ambassador

Example 1: Patrick became a new Ambassador in January 2024. His 2024 Rank Up Base Rank is Ambassador. If he promotes to at least the Paid-As Rank of Director (and meets all the other Rank Up qualification requirements) by December 31, 2024 and holds it for a total of four consecutive months, he will be eligible to start earning 2024 Rank Up Bonuses.

Example 2: Elle became a Director for the first time in November 2023. She held the Paid-As Rank of Director in November and December 2023. Since she held the Paid-As Rank of Director for less than three months, her 2024 Rank Up Base Rank is Ambassador.

Example 3: The highest Paid-As Rank Max held was Executive Coordinator in January 2022, February 2022, and March 2023. He was a Senior Coordinator every other month in the past 5 years. Since he held the Paid-As Rank of Executive Coordinator for three months, his 2024 Rank Up Base Rank is Executive Coordinator. He must promote to at least the Paid-As Rank of Senior Executive Coordinator (and meet all the other Rank Up qualification requirements) by December 31, 2024 and hold it for a total of four consecutive months to earn any 2024 Rank Up Bonuses.

What Does “You Can Earn 3 Rank Up Bonuses at Once” Mean?

You can be in qualification for 3 Rank Up bonuses at a time. If you advance in Rank more than three Paid-As Ranks at a time, you will need to complete the first three Rank Up Bonus qualifications before you can start the qualification for the higher Rank Up Bonuses.

For new Ambassadors or those with the 2024 Rank Up Base Rank of Ambassador, the Director Rank Up reward does not count as one of the 3 Rank Up Cash Bonuses you can earn at a time.

Example 1: A new Ambassador jumps to the Paid-As Rank of Senior Coordinator and earns the Director, Senior Director, Coordinator and Senior Coordinator rewards after four consecutive months. They keep going earning more bonuses in 2024 as they advance in rank, meet all the qualification requirements and maintain for 4 consecutive months.

Example 2: Bruce has the 2024 Base Rank of Senior Director. He has huge growth in his business and in March 2023 he achieves the Paid-As Rank of Key Coordinator and maintains it for the remainder of 2024 (including all other Rank Up Bonus requirements). Bruce earns the Coordinator, Senior Coordinator and Executive Coordinator Rank Up Bonuses, a total of $8,500, after June PV month. In July he starts the qualification for Senior Executive Coordinator, and Key Coordinator. He completes these qualifications in October and earns another $11,500. He earns the maximum 2024 Rank Up total possible of $20,000.

When are Rank Up Bonuses Paid?

All earned awards will be paid the month after the completion of all four consecutive months of qualification. Rank Up Bonuses will be paid separately from the monthly commission checks, around the 25^th of the month (for qualifiers set up for EFT/Direct Deposit).

Example: A Rank Up Bonus award earned in April 2024 (the Paid-As Rank was held January, February, March, and April) will be paid via Direct Deposit around May 25, 2024 if the qualifier is set up for EFT/Direct Deposit or with the May 2024 PV commission check around June 15, 2024 if they are not set up on EFT/Direct Deposit.

Business Leaders earning 2024 Rank Up Bonuses must all have separate bank accounts. They cannot share a bank account with another Business Leader or Ambassador.

Rank Up Director Reward

The Rank Up Director reward includes the 2024 Leadership Summit fee for up to two people (both must be listed on the Shaklee Account) and a one-night hotel reimbursement. Rank Up Director qualifiers will receive additional information via email from conventions@shaklee.com.

Already registered? If the qualifier has already registered for the Shaklee Leadership Summit, they will be reimbursed for their conference registration expense.

How is the one-night hotel room paid for? To be eligible for the one-night hotel room reimbursement the Rank Up Director qualifier must register, attend the Shaklee Leadership Summit and If the qualifier is set up for EFT/Direct Deposit, the set hotel reimbursement dollar amount will be paid via Direct Deposit the week after they attend. If they are not set up on EFT/Direct Deposit, the qualifier will be reimbursed in their following PV commission cheque.

1 – Don’t let your Organization Volume (OV) drop. When you advance in rank above your Rank Up Base Rank, you must hold your OV. Your OV must be higher than your OV in the month prior to your rank advancement each month after the rank advancement.

Example 1: Leader Janice, who has a Rank Up Base Rank of Executive Coordinator, advances in Paid-As Rank from Executive Coordinator to Senior Executive Coordinator. Janice’s Organizational Volume in the month prior to her rank advancement was 27,000 and grew to 32,500 in the month of her advancement. Janice must maintain her new Paid-As Rank for three additional consecutive months and her OV must remain above 27,000 in each month of her maintenance to be eligible to receive the 2024 Rank Up Bonus for Senior Executive Coordinator.

Example 2: Leader Robert, whose Rank Up Base Rank is Senior Coordinator, advances in Paid As Rank from Senior Coordinator to Executive Coordinator. In the month prior to his rank advancement, Robert had 24,500 Organizational Volume but was missing his third First-Generation Leader leg to qualify for Executive Coordinator. In the month of his rank advancement, Robert acquires his third First-Generation Leader leg; however, his Organizational Volume falls to 20,300, lower than his OV in the month prior to his rank advancement. This month will not count as his first month at the new higher Paid-As Rank, because his OV is not higher than his OV in the month prior to his rank advancement. If, in the next month, Robert remains at the new higher Paid-As Rank and increases his OV to a level above 24,500, that month may count as his first month at the new higher Paid-As Rank.

2 – No more than two people advancing to any new Paid-As Rank within a given leg may earn any award at the same time, on the same underlying downline volume. The two people who are lower in the downline genealogy, who are advancing to any new Paid As Rank, will be eligible for the award.

Under this rule, Senior Director and above rank promotions will be evaluated separately from Director rank promotions, meaning that a Director promotion below a Senior Director or above will not be considered a stacked rank promotion for determining the lowest two in the genealogy.

Example: If Tom promotes to the rank of Senior Coordinator in May 2024, his First-Generation Business Leader Eric promotes to the rank of Coordinator in May 2024, and Eric’s First-Generation Business Leader Joe promotes to Senior Director in May 2024, then Eric and Joe will need to complete their maintenance period through August 2024. Tom can begin his Rank Up Bonus qualification starting in September after Eric and Joe have completed and earned their Rank Up Bonuses.

3 – To grow a healthy Shaklee business you need customers (guests and Members), in addition to Business Builders (Ambassadors and Business Leaders). Each month during your Rank Up qualification, you must have the following:

1. A minimum of 6 guests or Members with product orders each month during the qualification. The Personal Group Volume from these guests and Members must equal a minimum of 500 PV or above, each month during the qualification.
2. Customer and Member orders must be from unique customers with separate shipping addresses
3. Customers and Members must use unique credit cards. Orders paid through prepaid credit cards will not be permitted to count toward any Rank Up qualifications

4 – Any return of product that counted toward qualification of any award will disqualify that award and will result in the forfeiture/deduction of any award(s) paid from the qualifier and/or their upline Business Leader(s).

2024 Rank Up and Reorganizations

The Company will not approve any reorganization or sponsorship line movement where the new Sponsor, new Business Leader, any intervening Ambassador between the new Sponsor and new Business Leader, or any upline Business Leader within six generations is in qualification for a 2024 Rank Up Bonus or is still within the time frame where they could be in qualification for a 2024 Rank Up incentive, unless the new Sponsor, new Business Leader, any intervening Ambassadors, and the six upline Business Leaders relinquish their eligibility to participate in the 2024 Rank Up incentive, as evidenced by their signatures on the Reorganization Form.

From time to time, a new prospect may accidentally sign up on the wrong Personal Website, or under the wrong sponsor, through no fault of the website owner. In those cases, the new Member/Ambassador and/or their current Business Leader of record may contact Shaklee with the Reorganization Application within 30 days of signing up online to be transferred to the correct sponsor. In such cases, the Original Sponsor will be changed as well and the 2024 Rank Up eligibility of the uplines of the Original Sponsor will not be affected.

In addition, the Company reserves the right to review, to disallow, and/or to rescind any reorganization into or within the downline of anyone whom they promote to any Business Leader rank that assists in qualifying for any 2024 Rank Up Bonus, if Shaklee determines that qualification for the 2024 Rank Up award is due in whole or in part to the reorganization. Alternatively, the Company reserves the right to exclude any of the uplines involved, regardless of rank, from participation in the 2024 Rank Up incentive.

In the case of a separation, divorce, or full or partial dissolution of a Combined Ambassadorship, if any first-level Shaklee Family Member is moved with the departing member, then for purposes of the 2024 Rank Up incentive, the Company will treat the transaction as a reorganization subject to the rules above. If there is a court order specifying how the first levels are to be divided, then Shaklee will determine on a case-by-case basis eligibility for participating in the 2024 Rank Up incentive.

Rank Up bonuses may not be earned from a reorganization, roll-up, or sponsorship line movement. Shaklee reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether an award is appropriate.

2024 Rank Up and Purchase/Sale or Survivorship Transactions

In the case of a Purchase/Sale or Survivorship transaction, the buyer/transferee may no longer participate in the 2024 Rank Up incentive.

• The 2024 Rank Up eligibility and qualifications, if any, of the seller/transferor are considered personal to the seller/transferor and do not transfer to the buyer/transferee
• In addition, the buyer/transferee relinquishes any 2024 Rank Up eligibility or qualifications related to the sponsorship position they are leaving

In order to participate in the 2024 Rank Up Incentive, you must be in compliance with all provisions of the Statement of Privileges and Responsibilities of Shaklee Family Members (P&R), including, but not limited to, the following:

Chapter 1, Other Director Requirements Section

Although Business Leaders may share the expense of office space and one Business Leader may help another through temporary difficulties (but not on a continuing or indeterminate basis), Business Leaders may not prop up a sham or “paper” Business Leader through diverted orders or other devices. “Paper” Business Leaders are those who are Business Leaders in name only and do not actively operate their Shaklee businesses but allow other Business Leaders to sustain and direct their sales leadership functions. This prohibition applies to all Business Leader ranks.
