Home Country
The country in which a Shaklee Independent Distributor has signed
and submitted a Shaklee Distributor Application (or equivalent,
as the name of the application may vary slightly from country
to country) which has been accepted by Shaklee.
The U.S. and Canada are considered a single Home Country.
Business Group Volume (applies to Shaklee Independent Distributors
in the U.S. and Canada only)
The sum of the Personal Volume of a Business Leader, the Personal
Volumes of the members of the Business Leader's Personal Group,
and the Personal Volumes of any First, Second, Third and Fourth
Level Business Leaders and the members of their respective Personal
Groups.
First Level Business Leader
The first Shaklee Independent Distributor holding a Business
Leader title down any sponsorship line. (A Second Level Business
Leader is the second Shaklee Independent Distributor holding
a Business Leader title down any sponsorship line, and so on.)
Foreign Market
A country, other than a Shaklee Independent Distributor's Home
Country, where Shaklee Corporation maintains a legal entity and
has designated Shaklee Global Ambassadors as eligible to sponsor
into that country. Shaklee may make Global Ambassadors with a
specified Home Country or Countries eligible to sponsor into
a specified Foreign Market, while not necessarily making Global
Ambassadors from all countries eligible to sponsor into that
Foreign Market.
Personal Volume
Personal Volume as defined in the Statement of Privileges and
Responsibilities of Shaklee Family Members (or Statement of
Privileges and Responsibilities of Shaklee Independent Distributors,
as applicable) of a Shaklee Independent Distributor's Home
Country.
Organizational Volume (applies to Shaklee Independent Distributors

The sum of the Personal Volume of a Shaklee Business Leader plus
the Personal Volume of each Shaklee Independent Distributor in
the Business Leader's Sponsorship Group
Personal Group
All one's downlines, down to, but excluding, one's Business Leaders
and their respective Sponsorship Groups
Personal Group Volume
The Personal Volume of a Shaklee Independent Distributor, plus
the Personal Volume of each Shaklee Independent Distributor in
their Personal Group in their Home Country. (Volume from Foreign
Markets does not count toward Personal Group Volume.)
Sponsorship Group
All Shaklee Independent Distributors down to the newest recruit
in all sponsorship lines extending from and below any given Shaklee
Independent Distributor. All or part of the Sponsorship Group
is often referred to as the distributor's "downline".
A Global Ambassador is eligible to sponsor Shaklee Independent Distributors in those Foreign Markets for which they are designated as eligible in official Shaklee Corporation publications in the Global Ambassador's Home Country.
Business Leaders who are registered in the Shaklee Global Ambassador Program may count First Level Business Leaders in Foreign Markets as well as Organizational Volume or Business Group Volume, as applicable, from Foreign Markets to qualify for and maintain Business Leader titles above the initial Business Leader title. (Shaklee Independent Distributors must qualify for and maintain the initial Business Leader title for their Home Country using Home Country volume only.) Organizational Volume from Foreign Markets will be adjusted for equivalency with their Home Country volume.
A Shaklee Independent Distributor who has registered as a Global Ambassador and is not yet a Business Leader in their Home Market is eligible to receive Personal Group Bonuses on Personal Groups developed in Foreign Markets. The bonus paid will be the calculated on the percentage for which the Shaklee Independent Distributor qualifies based on their Home Country Personal Group Volume and Home Country compensation plan, less any bonuses already paid downline.
A Global Ambassador who is a qualified Business Leader in their Home Country is eligible to receive Personal Group Bonuses on Personal Groups they have developed in Foreign Markets. The Personal Group Bonus will be paid at the percentage specified in the Compensation Plan of the Foreign Market for Qualified Business Leaders, less any amount already paid out to distributors in the Business Leader's Personal Group. The maximum Personal Group Bonus percentage paid will be 20% unless the Foreign Market is the U.S. or Canada, in which case it will be 16%.
A Global Ambassador who is a qualified Business Leader in their
Home Country is eligible to earn Leadership Bonuses on Business
Leaders developed in Foreign Markets. Leadership Bonuses will be
paid according to the Compensation Plan and Leadership Bonus Schedule
of the Home Country.
In the case where both the Compensation Plan of the Home Country
and the Compensation Plan of the foreign market include Infinity
Bonuses, a Global Ambassador who is a qualified Business Leader in
their Home Country is eligible to earn Infinity Bonuses on Business
Leaders developed in Foreign Markets. Infinity Bonuses will be paid
according to the Compensation Plan and Infinity Bonus Schedule of
the Home Country.
REQUIREMENTS
1) A Global Ambassador must be a Shaklee Independent Distributor in good standing in their Home Country.
2) To be paid as a Business Leader on the sales volume generated by Shaklee Independent Distributors in Foreign Markets, a Global Ambassador must meet the Personal Volume and Personal Group Volume requirements to maintain their Business Leader title based on volume from their Home Country only.
3) A Global Ambassador must be familiar and comply with the requirements of the P&R of their Home Country, as well as the applicable requirements of the P&R in any country in which they are developing a Sponsorship Group, as well as the requirements of the Global Ambassador Program, including any subsequent changes to any of these publications.
4) A Global Ambassador may not promote or sell Shaklee products registered in one country in any other country.
5) A Global Ambassador must pay a Global Ambassadorship registration fee of US $99. Global Ambassador Status must be renewed annually in the anniversary month of the initial registration; the renewal fee is US $49 per year.
6) Shaklee will deduct a 2% processing fee on all compensation earned on volume from Foreign Markets. This fee will not apply to compensation earned by U.S. distributors on Canadian volume, nor will it apply to compensation earned by Canadian distributors on U.S. volume.
Global Ambassador Program Renewal
The Shaklee Global Ambassador Program is renewable annually, for a fee of US $49 per year.
The annual renewal fee is payable after the first year of Global Ambassadorship has elapsed, on the first day of the month that follows the initial registration date. For example:
Juana registers as a Global Ambassador on November 16, 2006. Her first renewal fee is due on December 1, 2007. Her next renewal fee will be due on December 1, 2008, and so on.
When due, the renewal fee will be charged automatically to your credit card, Shaklee account, or other accepted method for automatic payment in your home country. (Should you wish to change your method of payment or if you have additional questions, please call the Field Support or Counseling Department in your home country.)Good news! There are a number of ways to have your renewal fee waived:
- 1) If the US is your home country, on a one-time only basis you may personally purchase a GOLD Ambassador Mission PAK and your Global Ambassador status will be automatically renewed for another year. Be sure to do this before your first renewal date. OR
- 2) If the US is your home country, your renewal fee will be waived if you sponsor 3 new GOLD Ambassadors in your personal group (1 of them personal) anytime during the 12 months prior to the last day of your anniversary month. OR
- 3) Sponsor 1 new person from a Foreign Market in which Shaklee is present in the 12 months prior to the last day of your anniversary month.
