Cross Company Recruiting Violations

From Compliance....PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!

We have posted this policy before but with the amount of recent violations, it’s important we talk about this policy and ask for your help.

Recently we have seen an overwhelming amount of Cross Company Recruiting violations. Cross Company Recruiting is when an Ambassador who belongs to another MLM recruits other Plexus Ambassadors to join or purchase the products from the other MLM.

 The recent violations we have seen are Ambassadors creating private Facebook pages and inviting Plexus Ambassadors to join the page so they can secretly talk about the other MLM. While we do allow Ambassadors to join other MLMs that do not have competing products we do not allow Ambassadors to contact Plexus Ambassadors that are not their level one.

Alot of Ambassadors don’t seem to understand the impact this violation has on their downlines. If an Ambassador contacts other Ambassadors in their downline to join the other MLM, their focus will be with the other MLM and not on Plexus. We have seen sales volume go down and Ambassadors no longer reaching the commission amount they once did. If an Ambassador loses focus with their Plexus business, they are not able to provide support or training to their downline and therefore their downline suffers. Also, if the Ambassador and the Ambassadors they recruited are selling the other MLM’s products they are not selling Plexus products and therefore company sales go down. The value of the Plexus Pay Point is based on total company sales. If the sales go down, the point value will go down which will affect every Ambassador company wide.

Ambassadors that Cross Company Recruit will take an average of 30 Ambassadors from their downline to the other MLM. Currently the Compliance department is investigating approximately 20 Ambassadors violating this policy. This means we have 600 Ambassadors focusing on another MLM. We talk about how your organization can grow by adding three. You add three, they add three and they add three. You keep going and soon enough you have a large downline. What would happen if we allowed this to happen with Cross Company Recruiting? If an Ambassador wishes to join another MLM that does not have competing product we ask that they do it the right way. Keep the two businesses separate. It is very difficult and see why violations are happening. You cannot mention the other MLM anywhere where other Plexus Ambassadors can see it. Even mentioning that you work for the other MLM on your Facebook page that has Plexus Ambassadors as friends is a violation.
We are asking for every Ambassador to think before joining another MLM. Can you separate the two MLM’s, can you work both MLM’s, can you continue to support your downline if you join another MLM?

Compliance department never wants to suspend an Ambassador. It’s always our last option, but if the impact is great to the downline, we must do what is best for the downline. Most of the Ambassadors found violating this policy do not realize the financial impact their actions have on their downline and every other Ambassador company wide. If you have been approached by an Ambassador to join another MLM and they are not your sponsor, this is a violation of the Cross Company Recruiting policy. Please help us and report them. Take a screenshot of the contact and send it to compliance@plexusworldwide.com
We will make every effort to work with the Ambassador so they are doing it the right way.
