Max Compensation



Compensation - Pad your pockets


Max International was founded as a way to bring the life-changing benefits of our glutathione-supporting products to the world, and we can't do it alone. We're looking for determined and motivated individuals to partner with. The Max Compensation Plan outlines the opportunity our partners have to find their unique path and reach their personal income goals – some extra cash every month, enough for a car payment, or even enough to be financially independent. It's your life, we just want to help make it better. Even your Preferred Customers can benefit through the Max Friends & Family Program



Weekly Bonus Commissions

Weekly Bonus Commissions are those commissions which are paid out on the following Wednesday of the week they were earned. Weekly Bonus Commissions include any retail sales, the Preferred Customer Bonus, and the FastTrack Bonus.

Retail Commissions

Associates can purchase products at wholesale for personal use or to resell to customers for a profit. When you buy a product at wholesale and sell at the retail price, you keep the difference. Retail products can be purchased directly from Associates or online at Max.com.

Preferred Customer Bonus

All active Associates are paid a full 25% bonus on every order placed by their personally enrolled Preferred Customers. This is in addition to receiving the 50% Personal Volume (PV) of the dollar value for the orders placed by a Preferred Customer. To qualify for Preferred Customer Bonus, each Associate must have earned a minimum of 50 PV (Active) within the five calendar weeks immediately preceding the customer's order date. Your Preferred Customers can also benefit from the Max Friends & Family Program.

FastTrack Bonus

The FastTrack Bonus consists of a special cash and CV amount from ordering one of our designated Product Packs. When you sell one of these Packs to people you've enrolled, you can receive a bonus check from Max every week! As an additional feature, when you order one of these packs yourself you also earn unique benefits.

Monthly Bonus Commissions

The Monthly Bonus Commissions are the most rewarding parts of our compensation plan and provide long-term residual income. Associates who effectively build their Binary Sales Tree and actively enroll new Associates in their Enrollment Tree will see a sharp increase in their Monthly Bonus Commissions over time.

Double FastTrack Bonus

The Double FastTrack Bonus is a special added bonus earned when a Qualified Associate has three or more of their personally sponsored Associates purchase a Premiere or a Professional Pack within a calendar month.

Team Bonus

All Qualified Associates will earn 10% of the total CV that the Pay Leg of their Binary Sales Tree generates per month. Associates can earn a maximum of $25,000 USD in Team Bonus per month. No more than 250000 CV will be carried forward in the Strong Team from month to month

To qualify for Team Bonuses, you must generate 100 PV and enroll a minimum of two Associates who remain active (with a minimum of 50 PV each month). Both Associates must be evenly placed on your Binary Sales Tree, with one placed on the left sales team and the other on the right sales team. If you do not meet these requirements then your CV will accumulate in both legs as long as you generate 50 PV each month.

Matching Check Bonus

The Matching Check Bonus (MCB) has, by far, the greatest earning potential of all the different commissions. You have the opportunity of receiving the MCB on every personally sponsored Associate as well as on all the Associates that your downline enrolls (and on and on) through seven 'generations.' The MCB is paid on the Team Bonus of the people in your Enrollment Tree up to the 7th generation. Each personally enrolled Associate within your enrollment tree is considered 1st generation. Subsequently, when a personally enrolled Associate enrolls a new Associate, that new Associate becomes your 2nd generation, and so on through the 7th generation.

Global Bonus Pool

Two percent (2%) of the company's global CV is put into a Global Bonus Pool and is paid to Qualified Associates. For each 1,000 CV that an Associate's Pay Leg volume grows compared to the prior month, the Associate will receive one share in the Global Bonus Pool.

Platinum & Diamond Pools

0.75% of the monthly global CV is put in two separate pools and is paid exclusively to Associates who are Platinum, Diamond and above. 0.50% is put in the Platinum Pool. 0.25% is put in the Diamond Pool.

Max Living Bonus

Rather than forcing Associates to buy or lease a car, Max believes in helping Associates achieve what matters most to them. The Max Living Bonus makes it easier for you to fulfill your wants and needs—financial security, a memorable vacation with family, or anything else important to you. We want you to use the Max Living Bonus to help you realize your dreams. The Max Living Bonus can help make it all possible. In order to receive a Max Living Bonus, Associates must have a paid rank of Platinum or above.

Creators




The creator of RiboCeine™ - Herbert T. Nagasawa, Ph.D., Executive Research Scientist

Chief Scientist and co-founder of CellGevity, Inc., Dr. Nagasawa received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Western Reserve University (now, Case-Western Reserve) in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from the University of Minnesota. Subsequently, he spent two years as a Post-doctoral Fellow in biochemistry at the University of Minnesota before joining the research staff of the V.A. Medical Center in Minneapolis as a Senior Chemist. He was appointed Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Minnesota in 1959. He was named Principal Scientist of the VAMC in 1961 and was promoted in 1976 to Senior Research Career Scientist, a nationwide VA title reserved for the VA's top scientists. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1963 and to Professor of Medicinal Chemistry in 1973. He also held joint professorships in the Department of Pharmacology and the university-wide Division of Toxicology, and served as Visiting Professor at Washington State University in 1990. He also served for 32 years as a Senior Editor for the prestigious international Journal of Medicinal Chemistry from 1972 to 2004, and one year as Acting Editor-in-Chief. In addition, he served on the Editorial Board of the journal, Bioconjugate Chemistry for eight years, and as an ad hoc grant reviewer for the NCI and NIAAA, National Institutes of Health. He has published over 165 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and is the inventor named on ten U.S. and PCT patent applications.




The Creator of MaxGXL - Robert H. Keller, MD, MS, FACP

Dr. Keller has served on the scientific review panels for the National Institutes of Health and the VA. The Consumers' Research Council has named him one of America's "Top Physicians in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 in the fields of Internal Medicine, Immunology and Hematology." Dr. Keller has served on the faculties of the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, the University of Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin (Marquette Univ.) He has published more than 100 original articles in various scientific and medical journals and has been awarded several patents. Dr. Keller was elected to The Board of Governors of the American Academy of HIV Medicine.
