Guru Bob's Spillover Is Not Helping You. Know Why?

Looked for a home based business recently? If you have, then you have seen the ads that promised Guru Bob will "fill your matrix" for you, out of his own efforts and spillover and with no work on your part. All you have to do is enroll now, before it's too late. Sounds great, doesn't it? You just sign up, pay your hard earned money, and ride Guru Bob's magic carpet off to Successville. Houston, we have a problem. With nearly all matrix-type pay plans, this helps them, and hurts you.

A matrix pay plan is one that limits how many first line referrals you can have, thereby limiting how your organization grows. (Some pay plans allow unlimited width, which is even worse. Your sponsor has no incentive to help you at all by putting people in your organization with spillover. There is not a single case where they would be better off doing that than they would be by putting everyone on their own front line.) With a matrix, you might see a plan that has something like a 3 by 6 matrix. That means in the basic part of the pay plan, you would be paid commission on up to three members on your first level and six deep, for a total of 1092 in a perfectly filled matrix.

So, how can spillover negatively affect you? Let's say Guru Bob fills your front line for you before you find a person of your own to enroll. In fact, he is so good he fills you up with the first three rows. That means your first personally enrolled member would actually go on your fourth level down. If you are conscientious and want to help them, it means you are working down on your fifth level, and only getting pennies for everyone above that. And if Guru Bob helps them like he did you, you might be adding people to your tenth level and beyond.

So you have a massive looking organization that in actuality pays you less than your monthly dues. A few months later, you quit and start seaqrching for another program. Surprise, surprise! Guru Bob is now on to another program he has found, even better than the last. "Maybe if I get in closer to Bob," you think, "I will get in on the big money." Wishful thinking, but it doesn't work. You can sign up closer to Guru Bob this time, maybe even directly under him, and you still aren't going to benefit without your own personal enrollments. If spillover worked for the long term, Guru Bob wouldn't have a list of nine other companies where he has been the big dog. He gets in a program, runs it through his list, makes big money for a few months, and heads off to another.

Building a perfectly filled matrix requires some each person in the group to sacrifice personal enrollments, including Bob. If everyone agreed to have a maximum of three personals, all on their front line, everybody would make way more money (except Bob, who might make $25k a month instead of $50k). Additionally, if no one was bothered by where those enrollments came from, everyone's matrix would fill completely, and everyone would work their way to the top of the pay plan, where the big money is. The only obstacle to this is finding a group of people and a company that will do that. If there were, maybe they could call it something like Unselfish Wealth.
