BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH SALES OF QNET PRODUCTS & SERVICES. Q1 RETAIL PROFIT Selling QNET products to your Retail Customers is the cornerstone of a solid foundation for your business. When you refer a Retail Customer who purchases products from the Company, you receive the Retail Profit, which is the difference between your customer’s Retail Price and your discounted price as an Independent Representative (IR). An IR could immediately start earning Retail Profits from purchases of his/her Retail Customers. The IR is not required to make any product purchase to start earning the Retail Profit.
Q2 FIRST PURCHASE PROFIT As a Referrer, you will receive the First Purchase Profit from the first qualifying purchases made by your new personally referred IR. The First Purchase Profit is the difference between the price of a new IR’s first qualifying purchase (made at Retail Price) and your IR Discounted Price.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS TO EARN THE POWERFUL STEP COMMISSION... Q4 STEP COMMISSION The Step Commission is another pillar of QNET’s compensation plan. As a new IR, your focus will be on developing a base of customers and on helping your downlines generate volume through sales. The Step Commission is calculated based on BV accumulated from the purchase of products made by Customers or IRs. You will be compensated based on successfully building sales volume within your organisation. Your uplines may also place IRs in your organisation. As your group begins to grow, you are entitled to receive weekly commissions based on the volume generated by your group downlines and the allowable commission amounts per Tracking Centre determined by your active rank.
Q5 REPEAT SALES POINTS (RSP) From every sale of Repeat Products from the QNET eStore to a Retail Customer or Direct Referral, you and your active Direct Referrer up to four (4) levels will earn the designated points, which can be converted into either cash or Business Volume (BV).
