If you're new to network marketing, two little acronyms come up constantly: PV and BV. They sound technical, but the idea is simple.
PV — Personal Volume
PV is the points value of your own purchases. Every package or product has a PV value attached to it. Buy more, earn more PV. Your PV is mostly used to decide whether you qualify for a rank or a bonus — think of it as “have you stayed active this period?”
BV — Business Volume
BV (sometimes called CV, Commissionable Volume) is the points value that flows up the tree to pay commissions. When someone in your team buys something, its BV is what your commission percentage is calculated against.
Why points instead of money?
Using points keeps the math fair across currencies and price changes. A package might cost $100 in one country and a different amount elsewhere, but its BV stays the same — so commissions are calculated on volume, then converted to your payout currency at the end.
Quick rule of thumb: PV qualifies you. BV pays you.
That's really all there is to it. As you build your team, you'll see both numbers on your dashboard updating in real time.
