### 🔹 How It Works

* Paid as a percentage of qualified Breakaway earnings generated by leaders within your organization
* Applies to qualified leaders within your organization, subject to the applicable Matching Bonus qualification requirements.
* Matching percentages increase based on your Role qualification
* Calculated weekly based on qualified leadership activity and verified team sales volume

* You must maintain at least **2 active qualified lines**
