Empower your network's high achievers and build a sustainable leadership pipeline with EifaSoft Technologies' sophisticated Stair Step Plan MLM Software. This powerful platform is expertly designed to manage volume-based rank advancements and the complexities of the "breakaway" mechanism, rewarding both personal group performance and the development of independent leaders within your organization.
The Stair Step plan is one of the oldest and most established MLM compensation structures, often evolving into a "Stair Step Breakaway" plan. It focuses on rewarding distributors for increasing their personal and group sales volume, allowing them to climb "steps" or ranks associated with higher commission percentages.
Distributors typically earn a **differential commission** – the difference between their own commission percentage (based on their rank) and the percentage of their personally sponsored downline members. For example, if a distributor is at a 25% commission rank and their direct recruit is at 10%, the upline earns the 15% difference on that recruit's sales volume.
The defining feature is the "breakaway." When a downline distributor reaches a specific high rank (often the same rank as their upline or a designated leadership rank), they and their entire group "break away" from their upline's *personal group* for differential commission calculations.
Instead of earning differential commissions on this breakaway group, the original upline now typically earns a smaller percentage **override bonus** on the entire volume of that newly independent breakaway group, often paid down several generations of breakaway leaders.
**Rank Advancement:** Based on achieving specific Personal Volume (PV) and Group Volume (GV) targets.
**Differential Commissions:** Earn the difference in commission rates between your rank and your downline's rank (on non-breakaway groups).
**Breakaway:** High-ranking distributors form independent groups.
**Override Bonuses:** Earn smaller percentages on the total volume of your breakaway groups, potentially through multiple generations.
EifaSoft provides the specialized tools needed to accurately manage ranks, breakaways, and complex commission structures.
Define multiple ranks with specific PV, GV, and leg requirements. The system automatically tracks qualifications and processes rank advancements in real-time.
Precisely calculates Personal Volume (PV), Group Volume (GV - excluding breakaway groups), and Total Group Volume (TGV - including breakaway groups) for qualifications.
The software automatically identifies when a downline meets breakaway criteria and adjusts commission calculations accordingly for the upline.
Calculates the commission difference between an upline's rank percentage and their non-breakaway downline members' percentages accurately.
Calculates override bonuses earned by uplines on the total volume generated by their direct and potentially indirect breakaway groups, down to specified generations.
Provides a clear view of the network structure, visually indicating personal group members versus breakaway groups and their generations.
Configure and manage leadership bonus pools where a percentage of company revenue is shared among top-ranking (often breakaway) leaders.
Detailed reports on rank advancements, volume breakdowns (PV, GV, TGV), differential commissions, override bonuses, and breakaway group performance.
This structure is designed to foster leadership and reward significant volume generation.
Strong Leadership Development: Directly incentivizes distributors to not only recruit but also train and develop their downline to reach higher ranks.
High Earning Potential for Leaders: Top performers who build large organizations and multiple breakaway groups can achieve significant income through overrides.
Focus on Volume Generation: Rank advancements and commissions are directly tied to achieving substantial personal and group sales volume.
Motivates Personal Sales: Differential commissions encourage distributors to maintain personal sales and recruit new members who haven't yet reached higher ranks.
Stable Structure for Large Organizations: The breakaway mechanism prevents commission payouts from becoming unmanageably complex at the very top levels.
Clear Path for Advancement: Provides a defined ladder ("steps") for distributors to climb based on performance metrics.

A breakaway typically occurs when a downline distributor achieves a specific high rank (often the same rank as their upline or a designated leadership rank) defined in the compensation plan rules.
Differential commission is the percentage difference earned on your *personal group* (non-breakaway downline). Override commission is a smaller percentage earned on the *total volume* of your *breakaway groups*.
Initially, the direct differential commission from that person is lost. However, this is replaced by the override bonus on their entire group's volume, which can be significantly larger if the breakaway leader is successful. The plan incentivizes building leaders.
The software calculates GV by summing the volume of the distributor and their non-breakaway downline. TGV includes GV plus the volume from all breakaway groups underneath that distributor.
Plan rules vary. Sometimes the group might "roll up" back to the original upline's personal group, or specific rules for inactive breakaway overrides might apply. The software can be configured to handle these scenarios.
It can be, but it often requires significant volume for distributors to reach higher ranks and breakaway status. It's often favored by established companies with strong product lines and a focus on leadership development.
