Commission Payout Chart & Worked Examples

Program Overview

The C1 Affiliate Program has three commission streams: Personal Retail Sales, First-Level Affiliate Overrides, and Distributor Finder Bonuses. This chart shows how each works with real-world examples.

1. PERSONAL RETAIL SALES (15% Commission)

When a customer purchases through your unique affiliate link, you earn 15% of the sale price.

Product	Customer Pays	You Earn (15%)
1 Gallon Retail	$130	$19.50
2.5 Gallon Jug	$240	$36.00
1 Quart	$35	$5.25
250 Gallon Tote (Bulk)	$12,500	$1,875.00
5% Introductory Discount Applied	$123.50 (first-time)	$18.53

 

2. FIRST-LEVEL AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS (5% Override)

When you recruit an Affiliate into the program, you earn 5% commission on all their sales for 24 months from their first qualifying sale.

Your Recruit (Affiliate B)	Their Customer Pays	Affiliate B Earns (15%)	You Earn (5% Override)
Month 1 Sale	$130	$19.50	$6.50
Month 2 Sale	$240	$36.00	$12.00
Month 3 Sale	$500	$75.00	$25.00
Month 4 Sale	$1,000	$150.00	$50.00
Total (4 months)	$1,870	$280.50	$93.50

 

3. DISTRIBUTOR FINDER BONUS (Tiered: 10% + 5% + 5%)

When you refer a Distributor (farm, store, co-op), you earn a tiered bonus on their first three orders within 180 days. Maximum bonus: $5,000 per distributor.

Tier	Distributor Invoice	Commission Rate	You Earn
Tier 1 (First Invoice)	$5,000	10%	$500
Tier 2 (Second Invoice, within 90 days)	$4,000	5%	$200
Tier 3 (Third Invoice, within 180 days)	$6,000	5%	$300
TOTAL FINDER BONUS	$15,000	—	$1,000

 

Note: After the Finder Bonus period ends (180 days), a Sales Agent takes over the account and you receive no further commission.

 

4. COMBINED SCENARIO (All Three Commission Streams)

Here's what a successful Affiliate might earn in a single month by combining all three streams:

Commission Stream	Activity	Monthly Earnings
Personal Retail Sales (15%)	5 customers × $130 avg = $650 in sales	$97.50
First-Level Affiliate Override (5%)	3 recruited affiliates × $200 avg sales = $600	$30.00
Distributor Finder Bonus (Tiered)	Tier 1 bonus (one-time)	$500.00
TOTAL MONTHLY EARNINGS		$627.50

 

5. SALES AGENT OFFSET (How Distributor Bonuses Work with Sales Agents)

When you refer a Distributor and a Sales Agent is assigned to manage the account, the Finder Bonus you earned is deducted from the Sales Agent's first commission(s). This prevents double-payment.

Timeline Example:

Month	Event	Commission
Month 1	You refer Distributor "Sierra Ranch"	—
Month 1	Sierra Ranch places Order #1 ($5,000)	You earn $500 (Tier 1)
Month 2	Sierra Ranch places Order #2 ($4,000)	You earn $200 (Tier 2)
Month 3	Sales Agent Kevin is assigned to account	—
Month 3	Sierra Ranch places Order #3 ($6,000, GP=$3,000)	You earn $300 (Tier 3)
Month 4	Kevin's commission: 8% of $3,000 GP = $240	Kevin receives: $240 − $1,000 offset = $0
Month 5	Kevin's commission: 8% of $3,000 GP = $240	Kevin receives: $240 (offset already applied)
Month 6+	Kevin earns full 8% of GP with no further offset	You earn nothing further

 

6. MONTHLY QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT ($100 Personal Sales)

To earn First-Level Affiliate commissions in a given month, you must generate at least $100 in personal direct sales that month. Personal retail sales and your own purchases count toward this requirement.

Scenario	Your Personal Sales	Meets $100 Requirement?	First-Level Commissions Paid?
Month A	$150 (2 customers)	Yes ✓	Yes ✓
Month B	$75 (1 customer)	No ✗	No ✗
Month C	$50 (personal purchase) + $60 (1 customer)	Yes ✓	Yes ✓
Month D	$0 (no activity)	No ✗	No ✗ (resumes next month if qualified)
