LifeWave Overview, Products, & Reviews

LifeWave uses the binary plan structure for organizing the genealogy tree of their distributors. In a binary tree plan, each LifeWave distributor or rep may only add two downline members directly under their position. These two positions represent their right and left legs, in which additional members will be added to form a downline that represents a tree and leaves from two branches or legs.

In most binary compensation plans, the smaller leg or "lesser leg" is the one on which the LifeWave distributor is paid earnings.At first, this may seem unfair to pay commission on the smaller team, but this encourages leaders to focus their efforts on the team members that need the most help. A balanced binary tree usually will produce the best results for the distributor.

Although some direct selling companies also include a portion of the earnings of the reference leg in their plan, the majority of the distributor's total commission still consists of the earnings from the pay leg.
