Compensation System
Worth to mention that Tianshi's compensation package for its distributors is one of most generous. Also there is no penalty and requirement whatsoever to limit the earning. Even you will see more relax requirement to allow distributor earns more commission and bonus. This is what separates Tianshi and other established MLM companies.
Pay structure can be called as 8x3. It means there are 8 steps of depth. Each step is called star. The first 3 stars are not required to have downline for entitlement. Starting from star 4, you are required to build downline with 3 leg structure.
The illustration and examples below are taken from Indonesia. Star 1 is only registration and requires a starter kit purchase of Rp 85,000 (US$8.5). Star 2 requires a personal product purchase valued at Rp 500,000 (US$50). Star 3 requires a cummulative personal product purchase of Rp 2,000,000 (US$200).
Membership is for lifetime and can be willed. No renewal whatsoever for membership. Commission for star 2 and star 3 is different to promote members become fast track.
For example, a star 2 recuiting a star 3 would earn a commission of Rp 215,000 (US$21.5). While a star 3 recruiting another star 3 would earn a commission of Rp 485,000 (US$45.5), more than double of star 2 commission. Starting at star 3, you can also start building organization and therefore entitle for residual income.
Star advancement is determined by downline and total group sales (TGS).This TGS is accumulative since you join. Under scheme of 8x3, a star 3 can become star 4 after his 3 downlines entitle star 3 and TGS reaches 10 million rupiah (USD 1000). And this continues subsequently to the top until star 8.
The marketing plan is also pro-distributor. There is no downgrade of star. So if you want to take a break for a while, it is ok.
According to survey, income for star 8 is about 40 million rupiah (US$4000) a month. And it is achieved on average in 1-2 years.
International Bonus
Tianshi also offers international bonus sharing for its leaders beyond star 8. This elite club is named as bronze lion, silver lion, gold lion, and the top of the top is director. Each is entitled for certain percentage of commission taken from international revenue (not profit).
Another bonus for this group is presented in rewards like luxury cars, yachts, personal airplanes, and luxury villas.
A star 8 entitles to become bronze lion if he can promote his 2 downlines to become star 8. If he continues to promote another downline to become star 8, he then entitles to become silver lion.
