But one thing most of the direct sales companies does not discuss is the&nbsp;unilevel&nbsp;plan breakage.&nbsp;During a direct sales process, if a breakage occurs in the plan, it may create a suspicion among the distributors about their payout being dropped.&nbsp;So exactly what is a breakage? So&nbsp;unilevel&nbsp;breakages is when the distributor in the upline level does not receive the payout or commission for their work because they&nbsp;does&nbsp;not meet some specific criteria.&nbsp;Also, commission caps and inactive distributors can also create&nbsp;breakage.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Breakage is not considered as a negative for a direct selling company. The company’s payout ratios&nbsp;is&nbsp;maintained&nbsp;by the breakage&nbsp;and the number of leaders that can quickly qualify because of breakages is low, and this prevents a situation in which the pool is segmented into small portions.&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Epixel Solutions"}
