Hi Bamidele,
1. The Versa Points expiring at the end of each month & the VP count being reset to zero at the start of the succeeding month has the following valid reasons.You may accordingly explain the same to your team members after going through these reasons enumerated below.
a)Starting every month with a clean slate makes it ‘a fair & a level playing field ‘for all affiliates to participate afresh very month with equal opportunity to reach the top levels of Power Ranking.
b) This makes the affiliates to keep logging in daily to score VPs every month and clearly tells us how much effort the affiliates are putting- in ,every month to get to the next level.
c) Commission is calculated on the accumulation of VPs by an affiliate every month. The VPs earned reflects the efforts put in by him/her during that month.
d) If the earned VPs are carried forward to the next month, commission needs to be calculated again for the same VPs we had been earned in the previous month, which is not financially logical or fair. How can you reward again an affiliate for his efforts of last month without any effort put by him for the present month!
e) Therefore, this policy of reset”0” every month, begins a new qualification process to earn SFI commissions and rank. The individual starts from scratch to attain & move from Affiliate, to Executive Affiliate, and through the five grades of Team Leadership: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. The rank which an affiliate finally ends up with at the end of a month will continue for the succeeding (next) month However, he has to score the respective versa points in the next month for maintaining that particular rank; if not he will lose this rank.
f) There is also a genuine problem of data storage space in the SFI infrastructure. Storing millions of versa points long after they have been earned for that month just takes up so much valuable space and slows down the entire SFI System.
2. All said & done, you will also find the answer to your question at the “To Do List” Icon in the SFI Affiliate Home centre page, under important notes # 2. “Why Do Versa Points Expire?” . You may also visit url: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?catid=26444&id=18074 for getting the answer to your posed question.
3. You will however,notice that your monthly VPs are not totally ignored. They are added to calculate your standing/ ranking in Leader boards. It's only your monthly totals that reset, though the points you earn each month remain in your Power Ranking for six full months (180 days), which is used to determine your ranking within SFI. Thus, it is to be noted that though the VPs earned by an affiliate the previous month does not have any bearing on his present month’s earning process, he does not lose it either . However, other than one-time action points, all others VPs acquired, expire after 180 days.
Hope this will satisfy your team members!
