Hello NPN’ers,
I was running some of my usual daily reports on various statistics for GlobalNPN and there was one in particular that I found very surprising (and kinda disappointing).
One report I check is how many members have referrals of their own that are upgraded to a HIGHER level than they are. In other words, for example, if I was at the PLUS level and one (or more) of my referrals was at the DIRECTOR level or higher, I would be flagged in this report.
Why?? Because that means I am missing out on commissions every month and I am not maximizing the money coming in to my account.
You see, if I am a PLUS level member, the most I can make on any referral is $10 per month, even if they’re higher on the ladder than I am, I still only make $10 in referral bonus. (!!!) So… in order to maximize my income every month, I need to be upgraded to the level of my referrals. If I have a DIRECTOR as a referral, I need to be a DIRECTOR (or higher) also in order to earn the maximum income on that referral.
Here’s another example so you’ll see what I mean…
=========================================
I am a PRO level member and I have 5 personal referrals.
The most I can make at PRO in referral bonuses is $5 each.. so in this case $25 in total every month. Not bad.
However.. 3 of my referrals have upgraded to DIRECTOR. Hooray!
But… I STILL only make $5 each because I’m still down at the PRO level.
Now if I upgrade to DIRECTOR with my referrals, I will make $25 for EACH of those DIRECTOR referrals every month.
So.. upgrading to DIRECTOR in this case will instantly increase my monthly referral bonus income to $85 per month. Get it? I have 3 DIRECTORS which now earn me $25 each, and my other 2 referrals are still at PRO which earn me $5 each. $25+$25+$25+$5+$5 = $85.00 !
If I had stayed at PRO, my monthly profit would have stayed at roughly $15. Upgrading to DIRECTOR has increased my monthly profit to over $45 per month! Worth it?? Yeah I think so.
=========================================
To shorten this long story, it is necessary for you to be upgraded at least to the level of your highest referral in order for you to maximize your monthly earnings. Do NOT miss out, it’s free money!
Believe it or not, as of this writing, there are exactly 100 members that are at a lower level than at least one of their personal referrals. Are you one of these people? Login to your backoffice and check… there will be a big yellow box recommending you upgrade. If you don’t see this box, you’re ok.
Please please please take care of this, I hate to see people missing out.

That’s all for now, just a heads up!
