How the recruitment buy bonus scales is unclear.
An instance offered in Belcorp’s compensation plan cites a $40 bonus on 400 PV positioned orders.
Residual Commissions
Belcorp pays residual commissions by way of a unilevel compensation construction.
A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the prime of a unilevel workforce, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned immediately underneath them (stage 1):
If any stage 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on stage 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel workforce.
If any stage 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on stage 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
Belcorp caps payable unilevel workforce ranges at 4.

Belcorp fails to supply any specifics on the Technology Bonus. Given it begins from the Director rank although, it’s a secure wager ranked Administrators in a unilevel workforce leg set off a era in that leg.
Be aware that generations are calculated individually for every unilevel workforce leg.
Govt Technology Bonus
The Govt Technology Bonus is for Nationwide Director and Grant Nationwide Director ranked associates.
- Nationwide Administrators earn 0.5% on one government era per unilevel leg
- Grand Nationwide Administrators earn 0.5% on the primary government era per unilevel leg and 1% on the second
Like common generations Belcorp fails to outline an government era.
Govt generations look like outlined when an Elite Director or increased ranked affiliate is present in a unilevel workforce leg.
Teaching Bonus

This seems to be a 3% quantity bonus however particular particulars aren’t offered.

Conclusion
For an organization that’s been round since 1980, there’s lots about Belcorp that feels half-assed.
The US push doesn’t seem to have gone effectively, with Alexa rating the L’bel USA web site at 12 million (useless).
I don’t know if that is due to the lack of expertise on the L’bel USA web site, or a results of it.
What I do know is Belcorp’s curiosity within the US appears largely to concentrate on Spanish-speaking associates and prospects, which if we’re sincere might be simply an extension of their Latin America market residing within the US.
There’s nothing unsuitable with that, however even then Belcorp fails to supply potential associates with sufficient info.
On the product facet of issues Belcorp do a terrific job of presenting their vary in a simple to navigate catalog. Why the corporate can’t promote sure ranges within the US nevertheless is a thriller.
I definitely hope it’s not a case of weaker regulation in South America allowing Belcorp to promote questionable substances that aren’t permitted on the market within the US.
As to the non-public care vary itself, Belcorp has numerous merchandise and that’s nice – offered they’re really being bought to retail prospects.
I didn’t see something in Belcorp’s compensation plan that inspired retail gross sales.
The closest they arrive is the sliding scale retail commissions, nevertheless this consists of an affiliate’s personal purchases (PV) and is thus questionable.
The excellent news this mixing of retail and self-purchase PV gives you a fast technique to consider how a possible upline is operating their Belcorp enterprise.
To qualify for commissions a Belcorp affiliate should be producing not less than $150 PV a month ($300 PV a month for MLM commissions).
What you wish to discover out is how your potential upline is assembly this requirement.
With the intention to be a reputable MLM enterprise, every Belcorp affiliate must generate not less than $75/$150 in retail PV a month. That’s quantity generated by way of gross sales to retail prospects.
Not samples, not guarantees, not any purchases made by the affiliate themselves. These need to be precise retail gross sales, which implies you wish to see receipts.
Any Belcorp affiliate who can’t give you receipts isn’t assembly this retail requirement.
Signing up underneath them will doubtless see you self-fund fee qualification, after which primarily receives a commission on recruiting different associates who do the identical.
That is your traditional pyramid scheme mannequin and for apparent causes, ought to be prevented.
The dangerous information is I couldn’t see something in Belcorp’s compensation plan to safeguard towards this taking place. That doesn’t imply Belcorp is operating as a pyramid scheme, however one thing that shouldn’t be ignored.
Oh and out of doors of the product catalog, Belcorp actually must scrap its on-line presence and begin once more. Govt bios and detailed compensation materials for a begin.
Notably with respect to compensation, Belcorp’s plan has numerous fleshed out bonuses however zero rationalization as to what any of them are.
What good is a deep rewarding compensation plan if most of your associates aren’t going to have a clue the way it works?
And if Belcorp is severe about focusing on the US, ditch Spanish for English. Holding Spanish because the default on the South American Belcorp web site isn’t a difficulty.
I don’t know what the underlying cause is however with respect to their on-line presence, Belcorp appears to have numerous squandered potential.
And once more, that is solely amplified by how lengthy the corporate has been round for.
One odd this I discovered whereas looking for an English copy of Belcorp’s compensation plan is this certificates issued by the Colombian police.
Villegas Franco Andres, who apparently is Belcorp’s Human Assets Director, has no points with Colombian police.
Good to know however definitely an odd factor for an MLM firm to place up on their web site.
Strategy with warning.
