POWERLINE

How do I join T.H.E.'s PowerLine?
First, you must be a T.H.E. franchisee before you can participate in Plan B, also known as "PowerLine". All you have to do is to buy Britannica Online at an exclusive price of US$59.97 for 1 FULL year to become a Marketing Executive (MX).

How do I qualify to earn in the PowerLine?
After becoming an MX, you must make 2 qualifying sales to become a Qualified Executive (QX) before you can earn in PowerLine. That means, when your 1st 2 direct (or Level 1) franchisees become MX by purchasing the Britannica Online, you achieve QX status.

How do I earn from the PowerLine?
Your 3rd direct sale will become your 1st PowerLine. For example, when your next franchisee "Mary", becomes an MX by purchasing Britannica Online at US$59.97 for 1 year, she becomes your 1st PowerLine. You will earn NOT US$30, NOT US$40 but a WHOPPING US$50 per US$59.97 purchase!! That's more than 83% in commission!

Earn US$50 for every US$59.97 Britannica sales from both direct and indirect sales (Qualifying sales of others in your PowerLines) to unlimited/infinity levels. How's that for Leveraged Income!

What happens when my PowerLines make their qualifying sales?
When Mary (your 1st PowerLine), now an MX, makes her 2 qualifying sales to "Pete and John", she becomes a QX. Mary will start her own PowerLine when her 3rd franchisee becomes an MX.

Pete and John are your indirect sales and due to their purchases of Britannica Online, YOU (not Mary) will now earn 2 x US$50 = US$100

When Pete and John make their 2 qualifying sales each (and moved on to start their own PowerLines), you will earn 4 x US$50 = US$200 from their purchases!

And it doesn't stop there. When these 4 MX's make their 2 qualifying sales each, you earn 8 x US$50 = US$400 from their purchases!

That means you earn US$50 out of US$59.97 from each of your indirect qualifying sales starting from your PowerLine, Mary. In the example so far, you've earned a total of US$700 from your indirect sales (and US$50 from your direct sale, Mary).

How much will I earn from each PowerLine?
As long as franchisees from your PowerLine continue to make qualifying sales, you will continue to earn US$50 from each sale of US$60 to unlimited/infinity levels. There's NO Maximum limit to your earnings in each PowerLine and there's NO limited time-frame. So, why stop at one?

When my PowerLine and my indirect sales renew Britannica Online from the 2nd year onwards, how much will I earn?
You will earn US$25 for every repeating Britannica sale each year!

What if any of my PowerLine quits?
Do nothing.

When any of your PowerLine quits, you will inherit his remaining sales (MX's) due to automatic compression.

As long as you remain a QX, you will continue to earn from all the indirect qualifying sales resulting from your existing and any inherited PowerLines.

What if any of my qualifying sales quit?
If one or both your qualifying sales quit, you will receive an SMS (mobile text alert) and email notifying you that you have become a Requalifying Executive (RX) and you have to replace your qualifying sales within 14 days to become QX again. Within these 14 days, you will continue to earn from your PowerLines as if nothing has happened.

If you did not replace any of your qualifying sales after 14 days, your Powerline earnings from that point onwards will be forfeited to your next upline who is a QX. However, once you replaced your qualifying sales again to become QX, you will continue to earn from any new sales from your PowerLines again.

Will my Sponsoring QX earn again when I replace my qualifying sale?
Yes. The earning of US$50 will be passed up to your next upline who is a QX.

How do I ensure that my 2 qualifying sales will remain in my network?
Identify 2 potentially "strong" and "active" Franchisees to be your Qualifying Sales (QS). When they begin to grow and earn, they will likely remain in your network and therefore, you will NEVER need to replace them.

Many Franchisees make the mistake of enrolling 2 "weaker" Franchisees as their QS, and as such requires replacing them often to remain as QX status to continue earning from PowerLines.

NOTE: If you intend to keep the "strong" or productive Franchisee as your Powerline (3rd direct sale), he will contribute only 2 qualifying sales to you personally... the rest of his sales will be his own PowerLines. So, don't make that mistake but ensure that your 2 QS instead should be "strong".

"You sow only 2 good seeds (QS) for the potential of unlimited harvest of 2's returned to you to infinity levels."

After a franchisee cancels his account, can he continue to use Britannica?
YES. He or she may continue to access Britannica online for the balance of the 1-year period effective from date of purchase as Franchisee.
