For those of you who have been following my latest articles, you will realize that it is about a lot of network marketing programs, but this is one that may come as a surprise. So far, our journey has taken us through the binary programs, the unilevel programs, and the breakaway programs. We will now continue our long journey and enter the realm of 1UP/2UP programs. I bet you’ve never heard of such a plan, have you? Well that is why I am writing these articles for you as I choose to help and educate those who have a desire to learn. Now to continue our long journey into the unknown!
1UP/2UP programs are generally the programs used when there is an infrequent, usually one-time, purchase of a high-value item.
Therefore, with your 1UP/2UP program, you should generally focus as much time as possible on maximizing your personal income. Why do you ask? Well, you get big commission checks on your personal sales and that’s how you make a good income with this plan. Now I know many of you think that the path to riches is to have your enrollees generate 1UPs; however, it takes time for them to develop that skill set so you can do a lot more for yourself while you’re still helping your enrollees. I recommend that you spend eighty percent of your time on personal production and twenty percent on building your team. That way, you can take that big income check and use it to reinvest in your other income-producing assets.
Let me try to explain in more detail how this all plays out. And I know from the beginning that this is difficult to explain in such a short format. I’ll give it a try though: let’s call your first sale (or first two sales) a 2UP and they’ll be sent to your upline. Now the person you sponsor and the commissions and 1UP/2UP futures also go to your upline. (I would say not so good) But now you build your own lines and your first sale (or first two with a 2UP) goes to you and so on…
Guys, the commissions paid by these programs are very important; they can actually be fifty percent to seventy percent of a great price sale, which can be amazing! But keep in mind that selling a high-priced ticket will require you to have a more significant skill set.
There is a lot of bad press regarding your 1UP/2UP programs because many of you don’t make any money with this setup. In this program, the average network marketer will only enroll two people in their business, so in this program you may never get the head.
I think I have defined the 1UP/2UP programs for you. I think after reading this article you are in a position to understand how it works and how you pay. As always, I’ve given you what I call the good, the bad, and the ugly of these shows. It’s your choice – move wisely and with purpose, good luck! And as always you have to live well to be well.
