Becoming a Premier PaceSetter or a Premier Platinum PaceSetter will put you on the fast track to success in your USANA business. In addition, there are many great benefits available exclusively to those with status. The time for action is now—you only have eight calendar weeks after your enrollment date to qualify!

Associates who don't obtain Premier PaceSetter or Premier Platinum PaceSetter status within the initial eight-week qualification period will have the following eight weeks to improve their PaceSetter status on an annual basis. The annual status obtained during the second eight-week period will be effective through the Associate’s enrollment anniversary, at which point they will have an eight-week grace period to renew their PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter status.

• Example #1
  Bob enrolls as a new Associate on a Tuesday and wants to become a Premier Platinum PaceSetter. He has eight Tuesdays (eight calendar weeks) for four or more new, personally sponsored Associates to activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate at least 1,600 SVP (remember, it’s eight calendar weeks, not eight Fridays).

• Example #2
  Jane is a new Associate who has two new, personally sponsored Associates  activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP during the ninth week after her enrollment. She qualifies as a PaceSetter, but not a Premier PaceSetter, since her two newly sponsored Associates did not join USANA until after Jane’s initial eight-week Premier PaceSetter qualification window. In order to maintain her PaceSetter status, Jane will need to requalify each year during the eight-week period following her enrollment date anniversary.

• Example #3
  Maria has two new, personally sponsored Associates (activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP) within the first four weeks following her initial enrollment. Once her status is finalized, she will be a Premier PaceSetter. However, Maria would like to increase her Matching Bonus earnings percentage. Even though she will be a Premier PaceSetter throughout her entire USANA career, Maria can become an annual Platinum PaceSetter by having two more new, personally sponsored Associates activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP during the eight-week requalification period following her enrollment date anniversary. She will then remain an annual Platinum PaceSetter for an entire year. Once Maria’s enrollment anniversary arrives the following year, she will need to requalify by having two more new, personally sponsored Associates activate 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP, or she will revert to her original Premier PaceSetter status and will no longer earn the “Platinum” Matching Bonus payout percentage.

• You do not need to qualify as a PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter in your first year with USANA to qualify in subsequent years. However, Premier status may only be achieved during the first eight weeks after your enrollment.
• If you complete the criteria to become a PaceSetter within your first eight weeks, you will be a Premier PaceSetter. You will then have the opportunity to complete additional criteria (have two new, personally sponsored Associates activate a Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP) every year during the eight weeks following your enrollment anniversary to qualify as a Platinum PaceSetter for that year.
• Any sponsorship changes on an account will result in disqualification from USANA’s PaceSetter Program promotion for both Associates. An Associate may not “give” his or her sponsorship of a new Associate to anyone else.
• Only the actual sponsor of an Associate may be listed as the sponsor.
• Any manipulation of this contest, i.e., sponsorship manipulation, downline purchasing (placing a sales order in a Business Centers other than where the sale was generated), etc., will result in disqualification from the promotion in addition to any sanctions under the Associate Agreement.
• USANA reserves the right to change the dates and prizes of this promotion at its sole discretion.

*Provided that product returns have not dropped the combined SVP below the qualifying threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are the requirements to qualify for PaceSetter and Platinum PaceSetter (both Premier and “annual”)? 
A. To qualify for PaceSetter, two new Associates whom you personally sponsored must open 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 Sales Volume Points (SVP).

To qualify for Platinum PaceSetter, four new Associates whom you personally sponsored must open 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 1,600 SVP.

New Associates do not need to open a Business Centers on their initial order as long as they open one or three Business Centerss within their first eight weeks. From the initial order, you have six weeks to qualify for three Business Centerss. After that, points generated will go toward the 800 or 1600 points. If you are planning to activate one Business Centers, you can use the full eight weeks.

Q. What are the requirement differences between a Premier PaceSetter and an “annual” PaceSetter? 
A. “Premier” status is achieved when you accomplish the PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter goals within your first 8 weeks as a new Associate.

PaceSetter (or “annual” PaceSetter) status is achieved when you accomplish the PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter goals within your first 16 weeks as a new Associate, or in subsequent years, during the eight-week qualification period that starts on your enrollment anniversary.

Q. What is the difference between “Premier” and “annual” status? 
A. Premier status means you will keep your PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter status for your entire USANA career. The first eight weeks after enrollment is the ONLY time you can qualify as a Premier PaceSetter or Premier Platinum PaceSetter.

As an “annual” PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter, you will be required to requalify each year in order to maintain your status.

Q. How long do I have to qualify for Premier status? 
A. Eight weeks. But you may only qualify for Premier status during your first eight weeks as a new Associate.

Q. How long do I have to qualify for “annual” PaceSetter/Platinum PaceSetter status? 
A. If you are a new Associate, you have 16 weeks from the time of your enrollment date to qualify as an “annual” Pacesetter or Platinum PaceSetter. Of course, if you can meet the PaceSetter requirements in your first eight weeks as a new Associate, you would qualify for Premier status.

Q. What if I fail to achieve Premier status during my first eight weeks but I have sponsored someone? Do I have to sponsor two or four entirely NEW Associates to qualify for “annual” status? 
A. Not necessarily. Any new Associates you sponsor during your first eight weeks will also count toward your initial “annual” requirements.

Q. How long do I have to requalify each year? And when is the requalification period for my annual PaceSetter status? 
A. As an annual PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter, you will have to requalify each year to maintain your PaceSetter status. To do so, you will have eight weeks from the anniversary of your enrollment date to meet the requalification requirements.

Q. I’m a Premier PaceSetter—will I ever have to requalify? 
A. No. You will retain your Premier status throughout your entire USANA career.

Q. Can a Premier PaceSetter qualify as a Platinum PaceSetter? 
A. Yes, but only as an annual Platinum PaceSetter. During the eight-week period immediately following your enrollment anniversary, you will have the opportunity to become an annual Platinum PaceSetter. If you do not meet the requirements, or if you fail to requalify the following year, you will still be a Premier PaceSetter.

Q. What are the requirements to requalify? 
A. Whether you’re an annual PaceSetter, annual Platinum PaceSetter, or an Associate without any PaceSetter status, the qualification/requalification requirements are the same:
Platinum PaceSetter—Have a minimum of four new, personally sponsored Associates open 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 1,600 SVP.
PaceSetter—Have a minimum of two new, personally sponsored Associates open 1 or 3 Business Centers and collectively generate 800 SVP.

Q. How do I “finalize” my PaceSetter status? 
A. Your PaceSetter status will be finalized after the greater of two dates:
End of the eight-week Premier Pacesetter qualification window (or 16 weeks for annual PaceSetters)
31 days after the purchase that brought your combined SVP total to either 800 or 1,600*

Q. I’ve been an Associate for several years, but have never been a PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter. Can I still qualify for “annual” PaceSetter status, even after all of these years? 
A. Yes. No matter how long you have been with USANA, each year starting on the anniversary of your enrollment date, you will have eight weeks to qualify/requalify as an “annual” PaceSetter or Platinum PaceSetter.
