In the heart of every strong family lies a diverse mix of personalities, each playing their role to keep the household thriving. In APLGO South Africa, our business journey is no different. Each status level mirrors a beloved member of a Mzansi family, working together toward one shared goal: legacy. Here’s how we see it:
⚠️ Understanding Status vs. Rank: In APLGO, status refers to your entry level based on your joining package (Promoter to Diamond), while rank is earned monthly through your performance and team volume (PV). This means a Promoter can rank as high as a Managing Director if they achieve the required volumes. The examples below assume possible ranks for teaching purposes. These are not fixed and purely educational.
🔄 What is Activity? Activity refers to your personal monthly volume (PV) achieved through personal orders or customer sales. It's the heartbeat of your business. To qualify for bonuses and ranks, every distributor must meet a certain activity level:
Manager: 40 PV
Senior Manager: 40 PV
Director: 60 PV
Senior Director: 80 PV
Managing Director: 100 PV
Corporate Director: 140 PV
💸 Bonus Definitions (Simplified):

Start Bonus (10–20%): Earned when you sign up a new partner and they join with a package.

Group Bonus (10–30%): Paid from the sales volume of your weaker leg (pay leg) when you build a binary structure.
