An illustrative scenario
Year one, shown as annual collected sales: your own book reaches the $1 million gateway, and your team of three trained representatives passes $1 million in team sales – where the proposed Shop Builder generational bonuses begin.
| Your annual collected sales (hypothetical: the $1 million personal gateway) | $1,000,000 |
| Your base commission at 6%, excluding tax and freight | $60,000 |
| Team’s annual collected sales (hypothetical: three trained representatives) | $1,500,000 |
| Generational bonus (Shop Builder) | Additional – see below |
The gateway: $1 million in collected sales
Representatives and teams that pass $1 million in collected customer sales may qualify for the proposed Super Base Shop Builder: additional generational bonuses, calculated separately from the 6% base commission, and shared across qualifying generations of a team.
Hypothetical illustration: if a qualifying team’s bonus pool were $24,000 and it were shared 50 / 30 / 20 across three qualifying generations, the shares would be $12,000 / $7,200 / $4,800.
Illustrative assumptions only, not adopted rates. The bonus pool, generation percentages and qualification rules are proposed program settings. They will be fixed in writing before any bonus is earned, and COi sets its cost and profit requirements first. A generational pool is shared among qualifying generations; it is not a per-person amount.

Earnings scenarios on this page are hypothetical illustrations on annual collected customer sales, excluding tax and freight. They are not a forecast, a promise or a guarantee of earnings. The Purple Team is commission-only, independent contractor work; earnings depend entirely on collected customer business. Points track recognition and advancement; they are not money and not a commission. Photography is illustrative stock imagery; the people shown are not COi staff, customers or representatives, and the photos are not evidence of earnings. This page is not an offer or a contract. The arrangement that applies to any representative is decided after COi reviews their application and is given in writing before they start.
