I have wanted to enroll with SOC for some time. However, the compensation plan is really designed so that I have to enroll a couple duds first(people who wouldn't build a business) because I wouldn't receive commissions on their sales (or their organization's sales).

The people I talk to most (who have asked me to share more about SOC) are great marketers with large circles of influence. It's not smart marketing to share this with them until after I've enrolled a couple other people who are not into building networks (of which I knew very few of... who would be interested in SOC). I've thought about just signing up a couple positions myself but this seems rediculous... as I approach others and encourage them to look at the business side of the program that I, myself, had to sign up into several times just to get properly positioned.

I don't like this part of the compensation plan and hope someone can enlighten me on the benefits of the plan... because I only see the draw backs of it so far.

I've been an SOC user (customer) for over two years. Of course, because I'm fairly intelligent, I signed up at the entrepreneur package, knowing full well that I may bring some of my non-network marketing friends into SOC to use it as a service.

When you look at their coded uni-level program, you have to consider this.

Those you think will, won't. Those you think won't, will.

I have spent 17 years in this profession. There has never been a time where someone I thought FOR SURE was going to knock it out of the park did. Those that I least expected, are the ones that have led me to the big money I have earned while actively being in the field.

My suggestion is that if you choose to build SOC, that you don't try to play with the comp plan. I know their top rep very, very well. I know how much is being earned by the top ten in that company. And...for a little greeting card company, people are banking some pretty big checks.

BTW...from what I know, and I am pretty sure I am correct on this if my memory is serving my ok, it only takes you 12 people to qualify the the next pin level of manager, where the commissions immediately go up significantly. And...another 12 to get to the next level.

Don't know what else to tell you other than the fact that using SOC has simplified my life from the standpoint of maintaining constant contact with family, friends, clients and prospects for my speaking business. I use it every day.

Greetings cosmochao,

From my understanding, the SOC comp plan works like this.

Every SOC distributor has to meet two qualifications in order to receive commissions.
1. You must enroll two customers (retail or wholesale). These are NOT distributors.
2. You need to have $30 in personal volume per month.

So if these customers are the "duds" you are referring to, they WILL make you money because they're customers but will not grow their own business because they're NOT distributors.

I hope this helps clear things up.

Everyone is looking for the next "winner" and many of the "leaders" in the industry where once "duds" who finally figured it out.

You build in groups of 12 and I don't think you will find to many "active" distributors who have any problem with the compensation program.

Personally I think SOC is a company that truly is interested in the success of their distributors.

Hey even if you don't build SOC as a business you can use it to build whatever business you decide to join.

Many network marketers with other companies are using it to help grow their business as well as keep in touch with their customer base.

Take Care.

The Send Out Cards Compensation plan rocks

I don't know where you got the idea that you won't
make any money on your first two people and their
organizations ..

This is NOT an Australian Two Up

It's a coded Unilevel.

It has a combination of Upfront bonuses to keep it
interesting while you are building your Residual. The
Residual is really strong and increases as you progress
through the compensation plan

I was able to pull myself out of a Real Bad Financial
and mess and create a Full Time Income With Send Out
Cards in less than 6 months

So it works ... if you work it

It's great to see we have SOC working it's magic for so many people.

I think having access to a company like SOC is instrumental in this day and age of Internet Marketing. It's Attraction Marketing to the core with the ability for you to create a giant list of contacts for years to come.

And the gifts!?!?!

If cookies and brownies and teas and coffee don't make someone's day, they must be dead to the world.

Going back to the comp plan, I don't know if any of you have seen this. My sponsor gave me a .pdf called the SOC One Year Plan. It shows how with just sponsoring one distributor per month and having them do the same, in 13 months your annual income would be $108,085.

Now each distributor has to be on their $31 auto order and must have acquired their 2 customers for them to qualify for monthly bonuses, which is where the money comes from in this plan. This doesn't even count your coaching bonuses you get.

This setup tends to work out nicely for the folks who don't use SOC as their primary company but as a tool to promote to other networkers.

As Todd said, "Not too bad for a little greeting card company".

Hey Jack, that's awesome to hear that SOC has helped dig you out of that hole you were in, in such a short period of time. Care to share what you did to accomplish that?

Hi everyone, I am an SOC distributor and love the concept. Hey Jon, would you mind sending me a copy of that pdf of the SOC 1 year building plan? Sure would appreciate it! I will also share any of my success stories and methods here to help all of us SOC people in the future. I would also like to add any of you to my friends list so we can keep in touch. Thanks to all of you and warmest greetings!:)

Hey Mike,

Thanks for asking about the SOC Compensation plan.

So you think you need to find a few duds to make the compensation plan worthwhile?

I can definitely verify you are wrong.

Who was the first person I sponsored in SOC?

The current Distributor of the Year and #8 money earner in SOC. She was in my distributor code so I only get paid 7 levels deep on her and don't get paid overrides.

Guess what?

I make thousands of dollars a month in residual commission on those 7 levels of her organization. Jack Bastide is on my second level so I get paid on 5 levels of Jack's downline for example.

Needless to say I'm happy I sponsored her. Certainly if I had sponsored her after I had gotten a couple of promotions I'd be making more off her, but the money is still good... and this is the STARTING income. The income goes up from there.
