The only way for a Millionaire Team member to progress to President Team is to help others in their group become successful so the Millionaire Team in Herbalife tend to focus a sizable portion of their activity on training and supporting their key people and the balance of their time on supporting retail customers and assisting new distributors they personally sponsor to get started.

Market Plan Terms
Volume Points – Volume points are the way Herbalife tracks and compares it’s business world wide. An individual health product can be purchased in USA for American Dollars, in Malaysia for Ringgits, in Europe for Euros, in Zambia for Kwacha. When you have an international business and you are doing business in all these countries at the same time then it is difficult to track. Herbalife places a volume point value on each product and that becomes the effective “International Herbalife Currency”. This is used to measure all qualifications for Herbalife. Converting the volume points back to money is the job of the Herbalife computers so your business is tracked with volume points but you are paid on local business in your local currency and on international business payment is generally in American dollars.
Personal Volume – Volume points ordered where your distributorship was the first active supervisor (that means your own orders and any orders placed by any of your distributors anywhere in the world that you are paid wholesale profit on. Group Volume – When someone in your group is qualifying as a Supervisor and they achieve 50% discount status and order additional volume in their qualifying month at 50% then you do not receive any wholesale profit on the order. To ensure that “Those who do the work get the pay” Herbalife still pay you on that volume but it is paid as a 5% royalty income and called Group or Trapped volume. Total Volume – Personal Volume plus Group volume. Organizational volume – The volume points that you are paid the 5% Royalty Override bonus on. (This is also sometimes referred to as Royalty volume) Royalty Volume – The volume points that you are paid the 5% Royalty Override bonus on. (This is also more correctly referred to as Organizational volume) Royalty income - is an ongoing payment based on the value of the work you did earlier, like the royalty authors are paid on their books every time someone buys one, or music artists. The songs the Beatles recorded back in the 1960’s still generate royalty income evey time one is played on the radio. Royalty Override Points – If you have 10,000 volume ordered by supervisors in your group and you are to receive your 5% royalty on that business then 5% of 10,000 volume is 500 royalty override points Production Bonus – The 2% leadership bonuses that are paid to the Tabulator Team are called Production Bonuses. Infinite level bonus – This refers to the Tabulator Team Bonuses (Production Bonus). For example the President Team earns an additional 2% on the business they have built. Effectively Herbalife, from their half of the money from sales, set aside 2% of the retail value of all products sold. This 2% is taken up the sponsorship line and given to the first qualifying President Team member. There is no limit on how far this goes so if there are 101 layers of sponsorship between the sale and the first President Team member then it is taken there. (In Herbalife that separation is rarely more than 5 or 6 layers. Roll Ups on royalty – If a supervisor in your group does not qualify for their full 5% in royalty. bonuses then the unclaimed percentage “rolls up” to the supervisors above. Front line distributor – Personally sponsored distributor. 3 Layers deep – The three layers of active supervisors that you are paid the Royalty override 5% on.
