Total Life Changes

Total Life Changes uses the binary compensation plan structure for organizing the genealogy tree of their distributors. In a binary tree plan, each distributor or rep may only add two downline members directly under their position. These two positions represent their right and left legs, in which additional members will be added to form a downline that represents a tree and leaves from two branches or legs.

In most binary compensation plans, the smaller leg or "lesser leg" is the one on which the distributor is paid earnings.At first, this may seem unfair to pay commission on the smaller team, but this encourages leaders to focus their efforts on the team members that need the most help. A balanced binary tree usually will produce the best results for the distributor.

Although some MLM companies also include a portion of the earnings of the reference leg in the compensation plan, the majority of the distributor's total commission still consists of the earnings from the pay leg.
