Your Team-Building Reward
From First Steps
to Leadership Excellence
Build Your Future, One Title at a Time
Your Zen Rewards Career Path isn’t just about earning more money – it’s about becoming the leader you were meant to be. Every Associate begins at Associate 1, and from there, each advancement unlocks new earning opportunities, greater recognition, and increased leadership responsibilities.
Think of your Career Path as your personal roadmap to success, where each milestone represents both achievement and growth.
Stay Active & Keep Building
Monthly Activity Requirement
To participate and earn bonuses, maintain “Active” status by generating at least 10 MCR each month from the combined shopping of yourself and your personally enrolled Customers.
Keep Your Earning Opportunities
Generate at least 30 MCR over any rolling 12-month period to keep your downline. This requirement doesn’t start until after your first full year, giving you plenty of time to build your foundation. If you don’t meet this after your first year, your downline will be reassigned.
How Advancement Works
Monthly Fresh Starts
Your Title is determined each month based on your actual performance. When you meet the requirements for a higher title, you’ll be promoted, with all benefits taking effect from the first day of that month!
What you qualify for each month based on current performance. This determines your actual bonus percentages and earning levels.
Your permanent badge of honor – the highest title you’ve achieved. Once you reach Emerald, that becomes your Career Title.
Emerald titles and above must requalify for their Career Title by being paid as that title at least once every 12 months.
