Growth is rewarded
Growth is a flat monthly fee set by a location's direct sales that month. This chart divides the fee by sales, so you can watch it rise through the bands and fall once the cap applies.
| Direct sales a month | Fee for each $1,000 | Fee that month | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | $0 | $0 | Top of the free band |
| $1,000 | $29 | $29 | |
| $2,000 | $39.50 | $79 | |
| $3,000 | $43 | $129 | Top of the last band |
| $3,000.01 | $66.33 | $199 | Highest point, the cap applies |
| $4,500 | $44.22 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
| $6,000 | $33.17 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
| $9,000 | $22.11 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
| $15,000 | $13.27 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
| $30,000 | $6.63 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
| $60,000 | $3.32 | $199 | The fee is the cap |
Past $3,000 a month in direct sales, the fee stops at $199 a location. After that, each added dollar of direct sales lowers what each $1,000 costs. Below that point, you pay the band your sales fall in.
