We are excited to introduce the Conversion Bonus Challenge, a powerful new feature designed to incentivize and reward your ambassadors for their sales performance over a specific timeframe. This article will guide you through how the Conversion Bonus Challenge works, its benefits, and how you can implement it to maximize engagement and sales.
What is the Conversion Bonus Challenge?
The Conversion Bonus Challenge is a time-based challenge that allows you to set tiered sales goals for your ambassadors. Unlike conventional conversion tracking, which rewards ambassadors immediately upon reaching a goal, the Conversion Bonus Challenge provides rewards at the end of the defined period based on the highest tier achieved.
Key Features
Time-Based Goals: Set specific timeframes for the challenge (e.g., one month).
Tiered Rewards: Define multiple reward tiers based on the number of sales or total sales amount.
Automatic Tracking: Sales are automatically tracked, and progress is updated in real-time.
Performance-Based Compensation: Rewards can be in the form of points, percentage commissions, or fixed amounts.
The Conversion Milestone Challenge differs from the Conversion Bonus Challenge in several key ways. Here’s a comparison to help you understand the benefits of each:
Feature | Conversion Milestone | Conversion Bonus |
Goal Type | Goal-Based | Time-Based |
Goals Per Challenge | One foal per challenge | Allows for tier-based goals |
Compensation System | Conventional compensation system | Same options as conversion tracking compensation options (Commission percentage, points per dollar, etc.) |
Sales Tracking | Automatic tracking of sales | Automatic tracking of sales |
Ambassador Progress Monitoring | Ambassador can monitor progress towards goal | Ambassador can monitor progress towards goal |

How Does it Work?
Define the Timeframe: Set the start and end dates for the challenge.
Set Tiered Goals: Define multiple sales targets and corresponding rewards.
Track Sales: Sales are tracked automatically through ambassadors’ shared links and codes.
Monitor Progress: Ambassadors can monitor their progress towards the goals.
Award Bonuses: At the end of the challenge period, ambassadors are rewarded based on the highest tier they achieved.
Example
Monthly Sales Challenge:
First Tier: $500 in sales - 1% bonus
Second Tier: $1,000 in sales - 3% bonus
Third Tier: $2,000 in sales - 5% bonus
If an ambassador achieves $1,500 in sales by the end of the month, they will receive the 3% bonus for reaching the second tier.
Use Cases
Use Case 1: One Goal in the Period
Let’s say customers want to have a bonus for ambassadors who reach a specific referral goal in the month of January. They want to give the ambassadors who have 5 sales in the period a 200 points bonus.
Use Case 2: Tiered Goals in the Period
Customers want to have a gradual incentive for ambassadors with good performance in the month of January:
If they sell $500 in the period, they receive a 1% bonus over their referrals.
If they sell $1,000 in the period, they receive a 3% bonus over their referrals.
If they sell $2,000 in the period, they receive a 5% bonus over their referrals.
