Today we want to look at the Advanced genealogy reporting tools. Your back office is really a great tool to help you manage your organization. Organize, don't agonize. With this in mind we put together a quick Step by Step using your advanced genealogy.

Back Office Training:

Advanced Genealogy Reporting – A step-by-step guide

To use this XOOMA WORLDWIDE training guide you need to be a distributor with XOOMA WORLDWIDE with a back office password. You also must have at least one Distributor in your downline.

Assuming you have everything ready, let’s get started.

First you’ll need to go to the website. Enter “ http://www.xoomaworldwide.com ” into the address bar of your web browser.

Enter your login and password information and click on Member’s login.

Once you are logged in you’ll be taken to the Members only section. Here you can see Distributor specific information. Many pages on the XOOMA WORLDWIDE website contain “Distributor Only” information. You can’t see it unless you log in. You should always log in when you visit the XOOMA WORLDWIDE site to get the latest information available to you.

You are now in the Back Office in the Members Only section.

To access the Advanced Genealogy report click on the My Organization Tab.

Once you are in the my organization tab click on the “Advanced Reports” Icon

This will pull up the Advanced genealogy menu.

Because of the number of options, this report may look challenging to a first time user.

The best way to understand advanced reporting is to start with Quick Reports. Which are prefabricated reports using the advance genealogy.

Start by clicking on “Search Organization” Icon.

Quick Reports offer seven pre-selected report views. Some of these reports let you select the number of results you want returned on a page.

Let’s look at the reports that are available in the Quick Reports section.

First is the Mailing Labels report.

Click the submit button for the mailing labels report.

The mailing labels report shows you just the information you need to generate mailing labels. You get all of the basic information in your downline in one simple view.

When you are ready, press your “back” button.

Next is the missed orders report.

Click the submit button for the Missed order report.

The “Missed Order” report gives you a report showing who in your organization whose auto-ship date has passed without an order in the system. This report allows you to follow up with your members and help them remain qualified.

When you’re done, please press your back button.

Let’s look at the current volume report.

Press submit on the Current Volume Report

The current volume report lets you see who in your downline has ordered this month.

This report is a great way to see how and who is purchasing in your organization.

When you’re done, press the back button.

The Next report is “Current Rapid Rewards Qualifiers”.

This Quick Report shows how many members of your organization are purchasing to help with your rapid rewards.

This report gives you a good snap shot of how close you are to potential qualifications for rapid rewards in your organization.

When you’re done, press the back button.

The Current period active report allows you to see how many Active (the members who have a qualifying purchase within the 4 week qualification window) are in your organization)

This report allows you to see who is participating in building their business. This is like a more in depth look into your Xooma organization than just the front line report. It can also help you determine who you should invest time and coach.

Please press your back button.

The Current Inactive User Report shows you the member in your group who had not had a qualifying order within the 4 week Qualification window.

This Report is really designed to help you reach back out to members in your group who may need encouragement, or who may even nor be aware that they are inactive. You can really be proactive in helping a member who may be disengaging from active business building.

Please press your back button.

The last quick report is “Show Everything”. This report is often what you’ll use when you want to build an Advanced Genealogy report. We’ll show you why in a moment.

Press Submit on the Show Everything Report.

This report shows nearly every piece of data that your downline contains. As the Advanced Genealogy reports grow this report will continue to get bigger and more comprehensive.

This is a lot of data here and likely more than what you need to see in most reports.

We have a lot of data available to work with. All these columns will make sense when we start looking at what we can do in the Advanced Reports.

This time, we’re NOT going to press the back button.

Let’s click on Make Changes at the top left of the report.

This looks a lot like that intimidating screen up we first got when we clicked on Advanced Genealogy

There’s one big difference between this and the first screen.

All the “Filter” boxes are already checked.

Why is that important? Because it shows you that the Quick Reports and the Advanced Genealogy Reporting option are related. If you view a quick report and then click “make changes”, you’ll see that what is selected here will change. You can use a quick report as the basis for your advanced report.

As an example: You could select the mailing label quick report and then filter the results to show just people from your home state. The advanced genealogy reporting system will let you view your downline in almost any way you want.

You can see Distributors in just one leg of your downline who joined in the last three years, who live in New Jersey, haven’t ordered in the last two months and are named “Bruce.” Really…it’s that advanced.

You will likely never run that report, but you might want to see people who have ordered in the last 30 days.

Let’s try making your own custom report.

Each of the headers has a dedicated line on this menu. You can remove or add a column by simply adding or removing the check mark for the filter you want to use.

Let’s say that Xooma Worldwide has announced a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. And you want to get a list of all your members in Atlanta just so you can personally invite them to this event.

We can customize a list just for this by organizing the information through our advanced genealogy report.

So if we want a complete list of all members in your organization in Georgia simply remove all of the unnecessary information on the advance genealogy that won’t help.

Let’s start by removing information we do not need, to remove the information we simply click on the green check mark by the filter.

Our first 2 lines in this advanced genealogy menu show 2 search type options.

The first line reads “Show Tree”. The Tree in you organization is like a family tree that show relations of members in an organization and the person who started that tree.

The two trees that make up your organization are the sponsor tree and enrollment tree.

Sponsor Tree- the organization based on relation through Sponsorship.

In this Example Ted Directly sponsored Mary, Kim, and Sue. Mary and Sue's personally sponsored members also show as part of Ted's sponsor tree.

Beyond the sponsor tree you also have your Enroller Tree.

Enroller Tree- displays all members in your organization both through sponsorship and spill over. This is the structure for the dual team plan all members in Xooma can participate in. The organization follows a structure of 2 members on the first level, and doubling each level after.

With each tree different information will be displayed.

So in the sponsor tree since you have a direct relationship to all the members of your sponsor organization all of the information is available for those members.

The Enroller Tree option will limit some of the information you can access because the enrollment tree may contain information about people you may not personally know. This is simply a safeguard we have in place to maintain privacy of our members. The fields that are removed by selecting the enroller tree are the: show street address 1, show street address 2, show street address 3, show city, show state, show zip, show Day phone, and show email.

It is good to keep this in mind when you are trying to pull a concise report.

The Second line is search type shows a drop down menu with 2 options:

1.Meet All Criteria, which means that all filters you search with have to be in agreement,

2. Meet Any Criteria, which means that if any of the filters you choose are true they will be a result in your search.

For our purposes in our example we want all filters to agree and we will choose Meet All Criteria.

Once you have selected the Sponsor Tree on line 1, and Search Type is selected to meet all of our criteria.

Now we need to remove information.

Remove the check marks from the following fields: Show Enroller Number, Show Enroller Name, Show Sponsor Number, Show Sponsor Name, Show date of Last Sale, Show Entry Date, Show Cash Back Qualified, Show Most Recent Rank, Show Vested Rank, Show Monthly QV (all months), Show weekly QV (all weeks), Show Rapid Rewards (for all months).

Once you have removed the check from these filters you should have the following filters checked: Show Distributor / PC ID, Show ( Simple Full ) Level, Show First Name, Show Last Name, Show Company Name, Show Type, Show Email Address, Show Street Address Line 1, Show Street Address Line 2, Show Street Address Line 3, Show City, Show State, Show Zip, Show Country, Show Day Phone, Show on Auto-ship.

Click submit.

Once you click submit you should see that the report only contains the information we have "checked" on our filters.

These results show all of the items we checked but we still need to refine our search.

If the meeting in our example is in Atlanta we should at least notify the members in your organization within Georgia.

So Let’s click on the make changes link. And return to our filter menu.

Scroll down until you see Show State filter. Once you are at the Show state line click on the gray arrow next to the box which says No Filter. The Gray arrow allow you to see the Filter options. In this case we can choose “equal to” represented by the “=” equal sign. Or we can select “greater than, less than” represented by “<>”.

For our need let’s choose “equal to” “=”. Once you have selected “equal to” we need to set what we want the results to be. Since the Meeting in our example is in Atlanta we will set the state to Georgia. Our system recognizes state abbreviation so let’s type in GA into the blank field directly to the right.

Once you have finished updating this field scroll down and click the “submit” at the bottom of the menu.

Once the Filters have been reapplied your results will be updated.

These results are similar to our original report with one major difference all of the members shown are now in the state of Georgia (GA)!

So you have been able to pull a report that you can use to allow you to contact all of the members in your group who may be able to attend the Xooma meeting in Atlanta.

If you have no members in your organization from Georgia you may have received an empty report like this screen

If you see a screen like this you have no results to show.

This screen will also appear if there is a conflicting filter in your report.

A “no results” message means you have no members in your downline from that state or you entered in a bad state abbreviation. If you entered in the state abbreviation GZ you likely won’t get anything back.

What we’ve done here is taken your downline results and FILTERED the results so that we only see a part of it. You can apply as many filters as you like but eventually you’ll filter down to where there are no results.

When filtering text values like state names you can only do exact comparisons. Entering V* will not give you all the people in Vermont and Virginia. In fact it will return nothing, as there is no state abbreviation V*.

We just did an “equals” comparison, there is one other comparison we can do here. The <> symbol means DOES NOT EQUAL. This is used to filter out only a certain result but include everything else. If we were to have selected VA in our example above and selected <> we would have gotten results from every state EXCEPT for Virginia, those would have been filtered out.

You might use this to build two different mailing campaigns. You might send one letter to people in your downline from your state and a different letter to people outside your state. Rather having to sort your downline by hand you can just have the computer give you the two different lists.

Try several searches using DOES NOT EQUAL and see what your results are.

Numerical searches give us more options.

Here we have the same options of = EQUAL and <> DOES NOT EQUAL but we also add the options of > GREATER THAN and < LESS THAN.

These searches work not only for numbers but for dates as well. Let’s try searching by a date.

There are two date fields we can search from, “Entry Date” and “Last Sale Date.”

Let’s look for people who have ordered since November 15, 2011. (Depending on your downline you might not have anyone that gets returned, feel free to use other dates.)

Your line should look like this.

Show date of last sale greater than November 15, 2011.

Click “Submit” and check out your results.

Every date is after November 15,2011.

What we’ve done is ask to see only people whose last sale date is after (or greater than) November 15, 2011. You could combine this with a filter for people in your state or city to hold a “win-back meeting” to talk about new products and new opportunities at XOOMA WORLDWIDE.

This is a simple introduction to Advanced Genealogy reporting. You can see that there is a lot that can be done with the reports. The level of sophistication of a report is limited only by the time you are willing to put into it. When you first look at the filter page it’s a little intimidating but if you really look at the page, there are just a few things you need to learn.

The checkboxes next to SHOW let you turn a column “on” or “off” in the report. Just because we wanted to include users only from Georgia doesn’t mean we need to show the column. It would work just as well if the column was hidden.

The filter by column lets you pick up to four possible ways to filter the data or select “no filter” to include everything. Both “Greater than” and “less than” comparisons are available with dates and numerical data while “Equal” and “Does Not Equal” comparisons are available for every field.

The last column to understand is the filter column on the far right. That is where you enter the information you want to compare.

Once you learn these four things you can build any report you want!

Dual Team Pay Plan

2011-10-27T12:43:00.001-04:00

Welcome Back Xooma Fans,

Over the course of our next entries we are going to discuss the mechanics of the Xooma Comp model and really dig into what they mean and how you can take advantage of the compensation plan.I have really wanted to discuss this topic for awhile but I really wanted to map out my thoughts and give you the best explanation, as I see it.

Xooma's compensation plan is comprised of several income streams. Participation in all income streams is not mandatory but as we review all of the income streams you will see the synergy and, really organic growth of the compensation plan.

Let's start by looking at the 1st level of compensation the Dual Team Prosperity plan. You can reference this section of compensation plan by visiting the opportunity section of our www.xoomaworldwide.com

The Dual team prosperity plan is the binary aspect of our compensation plan and is the fundamental income stream in everyone's Xooma Business. The dual team income stream is based on the enroller tree map of your organization. This means that all members in your downline, both those you have sponsored into the business and those who are in your business as a result of spill over, all contribute volume towards the Dual Team income stream.

The important thing to understand about this plan is Balance. The Dual team income stream like other binaries is really based on Balance. As you grow your organization will build out into two main legs based on the members on your front line. The "legs" are simply a way to identify the tops of your organization.

So in the example below you are at the top of your organization and Bob is on the top of your Left Leg and Maria is the top of your Right Leg.

So then looking at your organization each week you have sales and that sales correlates to volume in your organization. We will say that for the example we will use round numbers just to make it easy. So everyone in your group has a $100 order.

So in this Example you have your personal order which helps to qualify at 100 QV/PV (for more information on QV/PV visit this previous Xooma gears entry) and your organization has their personal orders in for 100 QV/PV respectively.

All of this Volume in our system is broken down into Left Side and Right Side Volume. So in our example I will draw a line down the center of the organization and mark off the Left and Right Sides.

From this point our system tallies the total Volume on your left and the volume of your right. So in our example you have 300 QV/PV on both your left and right.

From here the system looks at how many cycles you have in your organization. A cycle is when you have 160Pv on both the left and right to pay out based on the amount of your personal order.

$16/10% of each cycle ( if you have two personally sponsored active members on each side of your organization and a personal order of 25 QV/PV),

or $24/15 % of each cycle ( if you have two personally sponsored active members on each side of your organization and a personal order of 50 QV/PV).

So based on our example we'll say you sponsored Bob and Maria (so you meet the requirement of having 2 personally sponsored active members,one per leg) and you have a personal order of 100 QV/PV (this meets the 50 QV/PV minimum for you to earn 15% or $24 per cycle.

With all of this in mind let's look at our example again. So according to the organization we have 300 QV/PV on the right and left.

The system simply divides 160 into the volume. for each side so 300 divided by 160 will give us 1 cycle with 140 Pv remaining in Carry over Volume. Carry Over Volume stays in your organization as long as you have a qualifying order each month.

So our Example will pay you $24.00 and you will still have 140Pv on each side to help you build more volume going forward.

For a lot of members this piece grows to several cycles each week.

Remember that this is 1 of 8 Income streams that contribute to your overall Xooma Commissions.

I think of this as a base or foundation of your business and that it will always be accumulating volume as you build your Business.

Xooma Vocab

2011-10-24T13:54:00.003-04:00

I have been with Xooma since we first launched on May 5th 2005. The other day I was helping a member with a back office concern and we were reviewing some of the commissions reports. As I was explaining the how and why regarding commissions I was using terms that I knew but that are not always obvious when you look into our backoffice. I wanted to outline the common terms that we use describing the compensation plan and understanding Xooma.

Glossary of Terms

PV (Point Volume) is the amount of commissionable dollars in your personal purchase or group. To help your downline, you can refer to this as the “pay volume”, because this is where the system determines payout commission dollars.

QV (Qualifying Volume) is the unit of measure for “qualification volume”. All Xooma products carry QV. Qualifying Volume is used to help determine the level of qualification for personal purchases.

Rapid Rewards Volume reflects the contributing qualification volume in the Executive Pay Plan segment of your business to help you in reaching the Rapid Rewards payout levels. So this means that you must have 100 in personal Rapid Rewards Volume and four personally sponsored members also with 100 Rapid Rewards points to qualify for the first level in the Rapid Rewards Bonus Program.

Sponsor-The person who actually introduced and signed up member into Xooma

Enroller-Refers to placement order. An enroller may have a member placed below him but is not related back to the enroller through sponsorship.

Sponsor Tree- the organization based on relation through Sponsorship.

In this Example Ted Directly sponsored Mary, Kim, and Sue. Mary and Sue's personally sponsored members also show as part of Ted's sponsor tree.

Enroller Tree- displays all members in your organization both through sponsorship and spill over. This is the structure for the dual team plan all members in Xooma can participate in.The organization follows a structure of 2 members on the first level, and doubling each level after.

In this example you can see that Ted's Sponsor Tree fits in the enroller tree. So on Ted's First Level we have Mary and Sue. On the second level we have Kim, Emily, and Erin. And finally on the third level we have Patrick.

Sponsor Leg- refers to each member who you have personally sponsored and their organization.

Enroller Leg- refers to your first two enrollees in your dual team organization.

Xooma pays out at least $0.50 of every commission-able dollar back out to the field. This is a big step forward in the direct selling industry. Xooma is also a company that let's you see exactly how and where you are being paid in your organization through your back office reporting tools.

This is a quick check list to keep for a quick reference on how the compensation plan pays out.

Xooma Compensation: Qualification Quick Check List

A lot of times when I am on the phone speaking with a new Xooma Member one of the first Major concerns,beyond product efficacy and order fulfillment, is the compensation plan.

What makes Xooma so unique is that you have the opportunity to create income by recommending the products you use and trust to others.Over the Next several blog entries I want to approach the compensation plan in Xooma. It is a strong plan that really rewards members who make an effort to show, share and grow their Xooma business at any level. You don't have to be the next Robert Kiyosaki to make money with Xooma Worldwide.

When I was a kid the first thing I did when my brother and I got a new board game was to rip open the box and start playing. Of course, over the years I have found out that you can't just rob the bank in monopoly, while it was OK for my brother and I, but it was frowned upon at church game night.

We all know the feeling it's hard to contain your excitement when you are given something new. You want to get started right away.

But, just like anything else in life Xooma does have some pre-requisites. The best first step is to review the Compensation Plan through the Xooma Website here.

Xooma sets itself apart as being an "a la carte" compensation plan. In other words Xooma worldwide does not force its members to participate in every income stream. This allows for people at any commitment level to come in and actually make money whether your goal is to just cover the cost of your products, or if you want to commit to making real full-time income.

This is a quick reference checklist of the qualifications for each income stream. These qualifiers are important to learn what you need if you want to earn on a particular income stream:

These Commission qualification cheat sheets should help you reference specific qualifications for Commissions. I have a printable version here. This is a simple reference for your convenience and you should always refer back to the Xooma Website as the authority for qualifications.

If you have questions regarding qualifications feel free to contact Customer service via email at cs@xoomaworldwide.com

Xooma back office 101: Site management Part 1

2010-12-20T11:18:00.000-05:00

Site management

The Xooma Back office allows you to manage what your Xooma Replicated sites display. Your Xooma Replicated site, as we have seen before the replicated site is the first impression someone will have of Xooma Worldwide.

With this in mind let's review what you already have access to and more importantly what you can control and customize through your Xooma Back office.

Let's start by logging into your back office.

Your Login is your Account number or PIN, and the passcode is one you would have provided during sign up. If you have forgotten your passcode you can click on the link to retrieve your passcode. You can also retrieve this by calling into customer service Monday through Friday 9 am - 5pm EST at 1-888-865-6687. You can also email us cs@xoomaworldwide.com.

Once you have logged into your back office click on the "My Site" tab.

Once you are in MY site click on My Profile.

The Site controls are broken down into Four sections:

1. Your Personal Website Information

In this section you can set your display name. This can be your name or a company name that you would like to display. You can also choose to display Your phone number and/or email by simply clicking on the box to display and then designating the email or phone number in their respective fields.

Directly below the email field you will see 3 options: "display my story page", "display custom page", and "custom page link". These are all options for a custom page that you can create in the Xooma Back office. We will discuss these in a future post.

Following the Custom page link option, you will see that we have a chance to choose to display PC sign up option (available in the U.S.only) a P.C. stands for a preferred customer. Preferred customers option allows someone who is interested in just buying product to join our business. They will not build an organization, will not receive the same discounts as a business builder and have limited access to the backoffice. However if you have someone who is not interested in the business opportunity they can join as a p.c..

The Following 2 options deal with displaying our Edge Marketing system. The Edge marketing system is a 3rd party lead management and marketing tool. If you are using the edge marketing tool you can display the option to take advantage of a free trial offer. IF you want a more streamlined sign up you can share this later with your members once you have had an opportunity to see if they want that system.

The Next option is the Xooma Bottle promotion. During sign up you can buy the Xooma Water bottle for the introductory price of $3.99. This is a great deal on the Xooma water bottle but if you have international members who might be concerned with the shipping cost associated with adding a bottle you can choose to turn this option off.

And the Last in your personal information section is Multi-item sign up. You can choose to allow your prospects to sign up with multiple cart items. Some members focus on the sale of specific packs and choose to display one options to avoid confusion.

The Next section in Site management is "Customizing your sign up categories"

This section allows you to remove sections of products. This is useful if you have an area of focus in your marketing strategy. So if I concentrate on Selling weight loss I can remove all the sections that do not deal specifically with weight loss.

As you can see, clicking on the arrow displays the category options that you can remove.

The Next Section is "Customize Sign up packages on your replicated site".

This option helps you customize your offering of sign up packages. Here at xooma we believe you should have the ability to tailor the package you want to share with your members. Again by clicking on the package on the drop down menu you can choose to remove it from your replicated site.

At the bottom of this section you can see that we list any item/pack that you have restricted. If you would like to add it back to you sign up packages simply click on the link at the right "add back to sign up" and it will appear back on your replicated site.

The final option in your site profile is "Sign up preference for X20 products" X20products.com is a free replicated site that focuses on the Xooma Products.

You have the option to display sign ups for Distributors and Preferred customers (P.C.) or you can single out either just distributors or Preferred customers.

These customizations are all designed to allow you to reach out to the audience you want to cultivate in your Xooma Business.

Welcome to your Xooma Back office... My Account Part II

2010-12-06T13:00:00.001-05:00

The Profile button allows you to access the information on file for your account such as your mailing address, your phone number, your email, etc.

This profile links directly to your information at the Xooma home office and is used for your default mailing address on orders, and where we can send commissions and relevant account documentation.

The Next section you should be familiar with is the Auto Ship Menu.

This Menu allows you to manage your auto-ship order with Xooma Worldwide.

This menue is broken down in 4 Sections; Items in your Autoship (what is set to be shipped on your monthly order date), Add New Products, Payment and Billing information, and shipping information.

Current Items

In this section you see your autoship items, remove Items, view the total cost of the items in your autoship(before Tax). While you can remove items from your autoship you cannot remove all items. The autoship has to have a minimum of one item to help maintain your qualifications and organization volume with Xooma. You can push your autoship forward but this may effect your qualifications and organization volume.

Add Items

This section allows you to add Items to your autoship. If you know the product code (SKU number) you can simply add the code into the "Item #" field and update the Quantity field and add the item(s) to your autoship. If you do not know the product code you can use the Item look up to the right.

If you click Item look up you should see a pop-up window with a list of all items available simply plug in the code for the item back into the "Item #" field.

If you would like to browse for an item to place in your autoship you can click on Product catalog and search through our product line.

You can also access the Product Catalog Directly from the My Account Tab.

As you look through the product catalog you will see that you can search for products by simply typing the product name in the search bar.

Or you can access the Products by groups with the groups we have setup.

Once you select a specific product you will be able to read a description, decide whether or not to add this to your cart for a one time order, add the item to your monthly autoship, or even email a link directly to the product description to a friend.

The last section we will look at in this post is the "Order History" menu.

In the order History Menu you can narrow your search by updating the Month date and year range.

Once you have selected a date range you will show the list of orders within that range.(the Invoice numbers and tracking numbers have been blocked you will not see this in your back office).

Click on the invoice number to see the details of your order. And you can view tracking information by clicking on the tracking number.

These are the most basic and useful items in your back office. We will continue to explore more of your back office and how to take advantage of all the information at your disposal.

So you're in Xooma....Now What?

2010-11-08T14:40:00.010-05:00

So you're in Xooma....Now What?

Working at the Xooma corporate offices I have heard the confusion in the voices of many people who are just starting out. It's an exciting time when you first join Xooma, as you realize that the product does help and you feel like there is so much to learn.

You are right on both counts. Xooma does have a lot of wonderful products that help you optimize your bodies nutritional needs, and there is a lot to learn.

Everytime I speak with a new Xooma Member I like to show them the Xooma Website. The Xooma Site is a powerful tool that can help you manage your business and help you market your new business.

This is the main Xooma Worldwide website:

This is the Homepage for Xooma Worldwide. This is the main page which anyone can visit and learn about Xooma. There is a lot of information available to a new member right form this site such as:

Company Information (who we are, actual photos from the home offices,and corporate Bios),

Compensation plan, through the opportunity link (This is a great resource to have in case you have questions regarding the Compensation plan),

And you can also sign up new members directly through your website on the "Get Started Link".

Beyond some of these basic pieces of information you have access to:

Videos through Xooma TV(hover your mouse over news then click on Xooma TV),

Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) through the support link,

and most importantly acces to your back office through our member login.

This website is a great tool to help market your Business, and it's FREE. All the information is laid out and is available 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week. This is the Main Xooma Worldwide Site but take time to explore the other product specific mini-Xooma Sites which you get just for being a member.

Focus Up

Metabowize

X20 Products

These Product Specific Sites are a great way to introduce new members or potential members directly to the products that you think might interest them.

These are some of the most fundamental resources any Xooma Memeber. Take time to look through this information.
