This training explains one of the most important strategies to understand when getting started: How to use your Holding Tank, when to place people into your Matrix and Binary, and how a second position may help you maximize the compensation plan.

There is a BIG difference between simply knowing how to place someone and understanding when and where to place them.

1️⃣ BECOMING EXECUTIVE & GETTING BINARY QUALIFIED

One of the first goals for a new member is becoming Executive, because this makes you eligible to receive Binary commissions.

There are two basic requirements discussed in the training:

✅ Maintain at least 50 in personal monthly volume

AND

✅ Personally enroll one person on your left and one person on your right, with each maintaining at least 50 in monthly volume.

IMPORTANT: Those personally enrolled people have to actually be placed into the Binary before the system recognizes the qualification.

But that doesn't necessarily mean you should rush to place them.

2️⃣ WHY YOU MAY NOT WANT TO PLACE PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY

Your Binary volume does not flush simply because you haven't reached Executive yet.

That means you don't necessarily need to rush your first two enrollments out of your Holding Tank just to become Executive.

Instead, you can potentially use the Holding Tank strategically during your placement window.

Another important rule:

⚠️ You cannot place people underneath yourself until YOUR sponsor has placed YOU.

If your sponsor is also strategically using their Holding Tank, this might be why you didn't get placed yet. 

Once your sponsor places you in the Matrix, you can begin Matrix placement.

Once your sponsor places you in the Binary, you can begin Binary placement.

3️⃣ MATRIX vs. BINARY 

This is important:

THE MATRIX AND BINARY ARE TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE STRUCTURES.

Placing someone in one does NOT automatically place them in the other.

You can:

➡️ Place someone in the Binary today
➡️ Leave that same person in the Matrix Holding Tank
➡️ Place them into the Matrix later

They do not need to be done at the same time.

MATRIX

Think of the Matrix as an additional way to help people begin receiving small commissions—even people who haven't personally referred anyone.

To maintain a Matrix position, the member needs 10 volume points per month.

⚠️ If they don't maintain the required volume by the end of the month, they will lose their Matrix position.

Your rank is NOT determined by your Matrix.

BINARY

Your Binary is much more important becuase it determinds your RANK.

Your rank is determined by how many Binary cycles you generate during a rolling 30-day period.

For example:

🥉 5 cycles = Bronze
🥈 10 cycles = Silver

As your Binary volume grows and you generate more cycles, you can progress through the ranks.

4️⃣ THE 7-DAY HOLDING TANK

Both the Matrix and Binary have a 7-day Holding Tank.

When you personally enroll someone, you don't necessarily have to decide immediately where that person should be placed.

You have a window to determine the best placement.

If you don't manually place the person by the deadline, the system will automatically place them according to the applicable placement settings.

Keep track of the date each person enrolled!

5️⃣ USE YOUR HOLDING TANK TO CREATE MOMENTUM 🔥

Here's where the strategy gets interesting.

Imagine this:

DAY 1: You personally enroll 2 people.

Instead of immediately placing them, they're sitting in your Holding Tank.

Now you can legitimately tell another prospect:

"I've already got people in my Holding Tank. If you get started now, I MIGHT be able to place someone or some people underneath you, which could potentially help you build volume and rank faster."

Notice the word:

👉 MIGHT

Never promise someone that they're going to receive people underneath them.

Now imagine:

DAY 2 → 2 more enrollments = 4 people
DAY 3 → 2 more = 6 people
DAY 4 → 2 more = 8 people

As your Holding Tank grows, so can the excitement and momentum around your launch.

You're creating a reason for someone to make a decision NOW rather than waiting.

6️⃣ PRIORITY PLACEMENT

One strategy discussed in the training is Priority Placement.

For example, you might tell a serious prospect that people who start immediately with 100 in volume may receive priority consideration when you're determining placement.

Prioritize 100PV members to maximize the compensation plan.

Again:

⚠️ NEVER GUARANTEE SPILLOVER OR PLACEMENT.

Use words like:

"I might be able to place people underneath you."

Spillover should be viewed as a potential benefit—not something anyone should depend upon.

Everyone should approach the business with the mindset that they are responsible for building BOTH legs.

7️⃣ HOW TO PLACE SOMEONE IN THE MATRIX

Go to your Matrix Holding Tank.

You'll see the person's enrollment date and placement information.

Choose:

➡️ Update Placement

Your Sponsor ID should automatically appear.

Do NOT change the Sponsor ID.

For Matrix placement:

Copy your ID number.

Paste it into the Placement ID field.

Click Update.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

There is no "Are you sure?" confirmation.

Once you click Update, the placement occurs.

The Matrix does NOT require you to select Left or Right. 

The system puts the member into the next available Matrix position.

8️⃣ HOW TO PLACE SOMEONE IN THE BINARY

Binary placement is slightly different.

Go to your Binary Holding Tank and choose:

➡️ Update Placement

Again, your Sponsor ID should already be displayed.

Do NOT change the Sponsor ID.

Then:

Put YOUR ID into the Placement ID field.

Select LEFT or RIGHT.

Click UPDATE.

That's it.

⚠️ Again, there is no confirmation screen.

Once you click Update, the placement is submitted.

It may take some time before the member appears visually in your Binary graph.

9️⃣ IDENTIFY YOUR POWER LEG / TEAM LEG

Go to:

My Team → Binary Team Graph

Look at your Left and Right legs.

If your upline organization is building and placing people underneath one side of your Binary, that side may become your Power Leg / Team Leg.

For some people it will be LEFT.

For others it will be RIGHT.

Ask your sponsor:

"Which side do you anticipate being my team/power leg?"

But remember:

Never rely on spillover.

There is no guarantee that your upline will place people underneath you.

Treat this as YOUR business and be prepared to build both sides.

🔟 SECOND POSITION / SPOUSE STRATEGY

Here's another strategy covered in the training.

You are also able to enroll:

➡️ Your spouse
➡️ Family members
➡️ Additional eligible positions

A second position can potentially be strategically placed in your smaller/pay leg, rather than your Power Leg.

EXAMPLE:

Assume your LEFT side is your Power Leg.

You could place your spouse/second position on your:

👉 RIGHT SIDE

That second position would maintain the required monthly volume to remain Binary qualified.

As you continue personally enrolling people through YOUR primary position, those enrollments will be placed down that right side underneath the second position.

That allows Binary volume to begin accumulating underneath the second position as well.

1️⃣1️⃣ THE "DOUBLE DIP" STRATEGY 💰

Here's where this becomes powerful.

Imagine:

YOUR PRIMARY POSITION

LEFT = Power/Team Leg
RIGHT = Pay Leg

Your spouse/second position sits at the top of your RIGHT leg.

You continue building your main top position.

Eventually, after your primary position has built momentum—for example, after reaching a rank such as Gold—you could begin personally enrolling new people through the second position's referral link.

Now those new enrollments can generate volume for:

➡️ The second position

AND potentially

➡️ Your original position above it.

In other words, qualifying Binary volume underneath the second position may contribute to cycling the top position.

That's the concept behind potentially cycling twice on the same organizational volume, assuming the other qualification and leg-volume requirements are satisfied.

This is a more advanced strategy, so work with your sponsor/upline before implementing it.

1️⃣2️⃣ HOLDING A POSITION FOR A FUTURE BUILDER

Another advanced idea discussed in the training is establishing and maintaining an eligible additional position and allowing volume to accumulate underneath it.

Why?

Imagine six months from now you meet a serious network marketing leader.

An established position could be more attractive than simply asking that person to start from scratch.

They could take over and build that position with volume already in place. 

1️⃣3️⃣ KEEP YOUR HOLDING TANK TURNED ON

This is VERY important.

Go to:

Account → Update Personal Info

Look for:

✅ Enable Enrollment Placement Hold

The training states that this is enabled by default.

When enabled, your personal enrollments go into the Holding Tank until you enter their placement information or the applicable placement period expires.

The recommendation in this training is to KEEP THIS ENABLED so you maintain control over placement.

1️⃣4️⃣ PEOPLE CAN ALSO CREATE A FREE ACCOUNT

Prospects have the ability to create a free account.

This will create their back-office account without requiring an immediate product purchase.

They can then explore the system.

However, a free member will not have access to all compensation components without meeting the applicable product/volume requirements.

This can still be a useful option for someone who isn't ready to purchase immediately.

1️⃣5️⃣ CUSTOMIZE YOUR WEBSITE & PROFILE

A few final back-office housekeeping items:

✅ Upload your picture.

✅ Add your Facebook username under Account → Update Personal Info.

✅ Review your replicated website.

You can also customize your website name under:

Marketing Tools → Change Site Name

Instead of having a random ID number in your replicated URL, change it to your name.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

If you change your replicated site name after distributing your old URL, previously distributed links using the old address will no longer work.

So it's smart to customize this early.
