How You Can Earn with TC Direct: 3 Ways to Earn

 

Lesson 1: Understanding the 3 Ways You Can Earn in Table Charm 

Introduction

Understanding how you can earn is an important part of building your TC Direct business.

The compensation plan may look complicated at first because there are different types of earnings, qualification requirements and business levels. Don't worry about memorising everything at once. We are going to break it down step by step.

At the foundation of the TC Direct compensation plan are three ways you can earn:

💰 1. Sales Profit

Earn from selling products.

🛒 2. Sales Cashback

Earn cashback from qualifying personal purchases.

👥 3. Team Cashback

Earn a rebate from qualifying sales made by your active Business Builder team.

The key is to understand what creates each type of earning and what you need to do to qualify.

1. 💰 Sales Profit

Sales Profit is the amount you can earn when you sell a TC Direct product.

The percentage is calculated from the wholesale price of the product, and the applicable percentage determines your sales profit.

Here's the basic idea:

Wholesale Price → Your Selling Price → Sales Profit

For example, if a product has a wholesale price of R500 and you sell it to a customer for R600, the difference is your sales profit.

R600 − R500 = R100

The actual selling price and applicable profit depend on the product and the current TC Direct pricing structure.

Remember:

Sales Profit comes from selling products to customers.

This means that understanding your products, their benefits and how to present them to customers is an important part of your business.

2. 🛒 Sales Cashback

Sales Cashback is different from Sales Profit.

Sales Cashback is earned from your qualifying personal purchases, based on the wholesale value of your purchase.

Your minimum qualifying personal purchase is R1,250 at wholesale price.

Business Builder Sales Cashback

Wholesale Purchase	Sales Cashback
R1,250 – R2,499	3%
R2,500 – R3,749	4%
R3,750 – R4,999	5%
R5,000+	6%

⚠️ An Important Qualification Rule

Your personal sales level and your recruiting activity can affect your qualification.

There are two ways to meet the requirement:

Option 1 — No Recruit

If you have no recruit, you need to achieve at least:

R2,500 in personal sales at wholesale price.

Option 2 — You Have One Recruit

If your personal sales are R1,250 or more but less than R2,500, you must have at least one active recruit who has made a purchase of R1 or more.

In simple terms:

R1,250 – R2,499 personal sales

+ 1 recruit with R1+ purchase

= Qualification requirement met

Whereas:

R2,500+ personal sales

+ no recruit required

💡 Example 1 — No Recruit

You make personal sales of:

R2,500

You have no recruit.

✅ You meet the personal-sales requirement.

💡 Example 2 — You Have One Recruit

You make personal sales of:

R1,500

You have one recruit who makes a purchase of:

R100

✅ You meet the requirement because your personal sales are at least R1,250 and your recruit has purchased more than R1.

💡 Example 3 — R1,250 but No Recruit

You make personal sales of:

R1,250

You have no recruit.

❌ You do not meet the requirement that allows you to qualify at this level.

You would need to increase your personal sales to R2,500, or have at least one recruit who makes a purchase of R1 or more.

🔑 Remember This Qualification Rule

R2,500 personal sales
You can qualify without a recruit.

R1,250–R2,499 personal sales
You need at least 1 recruit with a R1+ purchase.

3. 👥 Team Cashback

As your business grows, you can also earn through Team Cashback.

Team Cashback is a rebate calculated from qualifying group sales.

But there is an important difference between simply having Business Builders in your team and having active qualifying Business Builders.

 The important rule

Having only one active Business Builder is not enough to earn Team Cashback.

You need at least two active Business Builders, with each one achieving the minimum qualifying sales of R1,250 at wholesale price.

As the number of qualifying active Business Builders increases, the Team Cashback percentage can increase.

Business Builder Team Cashback

Active Business Builders	Team Cashback
2	2%
3	3%
4	4%
5	5%
6	6%
7	7%
8	8%
9	9%
10 or more	10%

Each Business Builder counted toward these thresholds must achieve the applicable minimum sales of R1,250 at wholesale price.

🧩 Putting the Three Together

It helps to think about the three earning methods like this:

SALES PROFIT

I sell products → I can earn sales profit

⬇️

SALES CASHBACK

I make qualifying personal purchases → I can earn cashback

⬇️

TEAM CASHBACK

I build and support qualifying Business Builders → I can earn a team rebate

This is the foundation of understanding the compensation plan.

⚠️ Don't Confuse These Three

Type of Earning	Comes From	Main Idea
Sales Profit	Selling products	Earn from your product sales
Sales Cashback	Your qualifying purchases	Cashback based on your wholesale purchase
Team Cashback	Qualifying team sales	Earn a rebate from qualifying group sales

A simple way to remember:

Sell → Earn Profit

Purchase → Earn Cashback

Build a Team → Earn Team Cashback

🎯 Your First Goal

At this stage, don't worry about reaching the highest level.

Your first goal is simply to understand:

1. How do I make Sales Profit?

2. How does Sales Cashback work?

3. What makes a Business Builder qualify for Team Cashback?

Once you understand these three foundations, the 11-level career path will make much more sense.
