ONE PURPOSE. ONE VISION.
A proposed MLM–IMO sales organization built around useful products, supported representatives, and lasting customer relationships.
A partnership proposal for City Centre Insurance.
Open for discussion, collaboration and amendment.

Help people become productive.
Build a company worth owning.
01 / WHO WE ARE
A founding team developing One True Way with Jody Prevatt and the City Centre organization.
Venture leadership, technology, lead generation and recruiting.
Operations, compensation design, sales training and coaching.
Marketing, recruiting and community development.
Proposed responsibilities. Revised compensation and equity terms appear in the partnership section; agreements remain to be signed.
PROPOSED STRATEGIC PARTNER
Product and carrier relationships, operating experience, business oversight and prospective launch capital.
OWN THE WORLDThe planning series and shared ambition; no separate entity is established.
Family Savings CentreThe early household-services platform concept. Its future brand role is open.
City Centre InsuranceThe existing insurance organization and proposed strategic backer.
One True WayThe proposed sales venture that brings the operating vision together.
02 / WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO
Build a repeatable $200,000 monthly business through recurring product sales and new premium production. The contribution from each track is to be determined.
People certified to sell the designated products. This track supplies recurring business; virtual care and motor-club services are proposed starting products.
People both licensed and certified to sell the full approved product range, including life insurance, within their authorizations. New one-time premium contributes to monthly production.
The purpose is to support One True Way’s operating budget. Track recurring sales, one-time premium and company income separately. Define whether “profit” is measured before or after that budget.
LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP · PROPOSED PLAN
“100% commission payable” means 80% of the provider commission received by One True Way. These are own-sale rates; team overrides must share the same payout pool.
40% of provider commission. Company-funded leads; allowance and qualification rules TBD. Certified products only unless separately licensed.
60% of provider commission. Company-funded recruiting. Required licenses, appointments and product certifications. Lead subsidy at this step remains TBD.
68% of provider commission. At least 3 invited certified planners, each producing $5,000/month; $30,000 total monthly business. Leader pays for leads and recruiting.
80% of provider commission. At least 10 team members at $5,000/month each; $75,000 total business. Intended fully vested ownership and legacy contract; exact rights TBD.
3 × $5,000 = $15,000, not $30,000. Recommended reconciliation: $15,000 personal production + 3 planners × $5,000 = $30,000. Alternatively the team must produce the additional $15,000. Neither interpretation is yet approved.
10 × $5,000 = $50,000. Adding $25,000 personal production gives $75,000. This treats the final “$25,000 total” in the founder note as personal production; confirm that correction. The owner is additional to the 10 team members.
Define “business” before approving ranks. Recommended common measure: earned provider commissions, net of reversals, before representative payouts. Keep customer fees and insurance premium separate. Count each customer sale once in company totals even if several leaders receive rank credit.
Define the vested interest, percentage, vesting conditions, renewal rights, inheritance, sale and buyout rules. Step 4 does not automatically amend the founder cap table. Retention windows, chargebacks, demotion and Step 4 lead/recruiting costs remain TBD.
PRODUCT STRATEGY · RECOMMENDATION
Start with five offers total, including Recuro and the tow package. Carrier names below are candidates to evaluate—not confirmed One True Way appointments, pricing or commissions.
| Launch offer | Customer reason to buy | What to verify before launch |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Recuro Virtual Urgent CareCertified-product track, subject to authorization | Convenient 24/7 virtual access for common medical concerns. A recurring service, not major medical insurance. | Family eligibility, per-visit charges, cancellations, member support and recurring commission. Recuro ↗ |
| 2 · Tow / roadside packageExisting provider to be identified | Practical roadside help with a clearly stated service allowance. | Provider contract, towing miles, call limits, exclusions, waiting periods, refunds and state sales requirements. Avoid duplicating benefits the customer already has. |
| 3 · Convertible term lifeLicensed + certified | Income and family protection today, with a contractual path to permanent coverage. | Evaluate MassMutual term. Confirm the exact term-to-whole-life conversion option, deadline and eligible policy; conversion changes cost. Carrier ↗ |
| 4 · Whole life / final expenseLicensed + certified | Permanent coverage for final expenses with predictable premiums, if suitable and affordable. | Evaluate United of Omaha Living Promise. Confirm underwriting, benefit limits and any graded plan. Carrier ↗ |
| 5 · Guaranteed-issue whole lifeLicensed + certified · fallback option | An option when health prevents suitable underwritten coverage—not the automatic first choice. | Evaluate Gerber Guaranteed Life. Explain limited early nonaccidental benefits, eligibility, price and state variations. Carrier ↗ |
Term + convertible term: one carefully selected convertible term contract can fill both roles. Permanent: whole life. Guaranteed issue: a distinct whole-life fallback. If you want five life offers in addition to the two services, that is seven offers total.
“Investment” life: evaluate IUL later for suitable long-term protection and cash-value needs; it is not direct stock-market investing. United of Omaha IUL is a research candidate. If actual investment subaccounts are intended, VUL is a different, more complex product with investment risk and securities requirements. Neither belongs in an easy-sale promise. IUL ↗ · SEC ↗
Living benefits: first evaluate accelerated-death-benefit riders on the selected life policy. Triggers, charges and reductions to the remaining death benefit differ. A separate critical-illness policy is a different contract, not the same benefit. Carrier explanation ↗
Accidental death: optional supplement for a covered accident; it does not replace all-cause life coverage. Mutual of Omaha is one candidate. Carrier ↗
Prove demand: compare quoted-to-paid conversion, cost per issued customer, cancellations, persistency, complaints and contribution per lead in a small cohort. No sourced evidence yet establishes which offer will sell best for this audience.
03 / WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
Our purpose is to create a practical path to flexible work, useful skills and financial progress—starting with communities the team understands.
Company success should grow from
representative success.THE SHARED PRINCIPLE
Upfront costs, fragmented systems, uneven coaching and unclear commission risks can leave capable people struggling.
A supported start, clear expectations, practical training and a repeatable route to paid customer sales.
Mothers, military spouses and people seeking flexible work, alongside experienced sales teams.
04 / WHAT WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE
Keith’s $20,000 monthly request is fulfilled through Data Driver Pro lead and recruiting services. Document deliverables, service costs and related-party terms separately from personal compensation.
Amount to confirm: the founder note also says $5,000/month for infrastructure. This presentation uses the final $15,000 line. At $5,000, the total would be $40,000/month and $240,000 over six months.
Training content and LMS; agent usage portal; CRM; dialer; business tracker; integrations and commission reporting.
ChatGPT, Fireflies, Google Cloud and other AI subscriptions; calling minutes, SMS, email, storage, backups and account security.
Implementation, technical support, quality assurance, onboarding administration, bookkeeping and payment reconciliation. Assign an owner and quote each component.
04A / OWNERSHIP & THE SIX-MONTH DECISION
| Owner | Reference split | After trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Keith | 49% | 41.5% |
| City Centre | 51% | 43.5% |
| Wendy | 0% | 10% |
| Rachel | 0% | 5% |
| Total | 100% | 100% |
Wendy’s 10 percentage points: 5 from Keith + 5 from City Centre. Rachel’s 5 points: 2.5 from each. Percentages refer to the whole company. Initial issuance and the proposed voting mechanics remain to be documented.
Proposed voting terms · TBD: Keith has the sole vote for the first six months. After that, City Centre has majority rights while it remains the majority owner. At 43.5% after the proposed transfers, City Centre holds the largest stake but not more than 50%; control in that case remains TBD. Voting authority does not change the stated equity percentages.
Wendy vests into 10%; Rachel into 5%. The presentation assumes the same no-loan-repayment treatment as retention; confirm that the signed success clause says so.
Keith, Wendy and Rachel are one team: City Centre retains all three or none. If retained, all agreements take effect, equity is distributed and no loans are repaid, regardless of KPIs. Document the election deadline and effective date.
If City Centre elects this route, each founder repays their agreed loan balance over 36 months at 9.99% annual interest. Borrowers, balances, interest start and payment dates must be specified.
04B / TBD — DECISIONS REQUIRED BEFORE FUNDING
Determine the recurring certified-sales share and one-time licensed-premium share. Confirm measurement basis, margins, timing and whether this becomes a six-month KPI. Then agree numerical pass/fail thresholds.
Identify the borrower, lender and funded principal for each person. Separate service invoices, pay, business expenses and debt. Decide liability caps, offsets, interest start, prepayment and default terms.
Keith has the sole vote for the first six months. Then City Centre has majority rights while it remains the majority owner. At the proposed 43.5% post-transfer stake, control remains TBD. Document the six-month start date and voting mechanics.
The minimum goal is $50,000 monthly profit to support the budget. Before-budget contribution of $50,000 covers the $50,000 budget; $50,000 profit after that budget requires $100,000 contribution. Confirm the intended definition, costs, reserves and tax treatment.
Confirm legal and tax work; licenses and appointments; E&O/cyber cover; payroll burden if applicable; chargeback reserves; support labor; transaction fees; and a contingency allowance. These are not yet additional approved line items.
Agree ownership and access to the brand, domains, code, CRM, leads, customer book, training and commissions. Define Data Driver Pro service levels, data rights and handover if the team leaves.
Confirm the Leader’s missing $15,000, whether the Owner’s $25,000 means personal production, whether team counts exclude the leader, and one common earned-commission measure. Define rank-maintenance periods, reversals, demotion and no duplicate company volume.
Approve the override/bonus allocation inside 80%; lead and recruiting allowances; Step 2 lead and Step 4 expense rules; earned versus advanced commissions; renewals and chargebacks. Define exactly what the Step 4 ownership and legacy contract vests, separately from founder equity.
Active agents: define minimum placed/paid production and the lookback window. Ten agents remains a planning goal, not a signed performance covenant.
Production: separately define recurring certified-product sales, one-time licensed premium, actual cash receipts and net retained contribution. Specify whether premium means collected premium or annualized premium. The $200,000 goal’s split, measurement basis, target date and KPI status are TBD.
Quality: define placement, retention/persistency, chargebacks and customer complaints. Agree numerical limits rather than relying on “good performance.”
Dependencies: specify what happens if City Centre funding, carrier access or product approvals are delayed. Retention is all three founders or none. Define the election deadline, effective date and consequences of early termination, resignation or disability. Agree future dilution, buyouts and KPI sign-off.
Have insurance/distribution counsel review the compensation plan, licensed activities, recruitment and earnings claims, outreach consent, call recording, data handling and state-specific obligations. Product sales alone do not establish an MLM model’s legality. FTC guidance ↗
Have the CPA and counsel determine entity structure, worker classification, treatment of grants/vesting and the tax consequences of any loan cancellation. “No repayment” does not automatically mean “no tax.” IRS guidance ↗
Downside economics: taking all equity and collecting personal notes are two separate remedies. Negotiate how customer-book value, retained cash, assets and prior distributions offset any amount owed.
05 / WHERE WE AIM TO BE IN 6 MONTHS
Prove the system
before scaling it.
Finalize partnerships, product economics, contracts and launch infrastructure.
Test the full journey from onboarding to paid customer sale and accurate commission payment.
Track active people in each sales track, recurring business, new one-time premium, persistency, chargebacks, acquisition cost and retained contribution. Certified/licensed headcount mix remains TBD.
06 / WHERE WE AIM TO BE IN 12 MONTHS
Scale the people.
Preserve the standard.
Train new cohorts and bring in experienced teams where the economics and operating standards align.
Make coaching, retention and customer service work beyond the founding team.
Cover ongoing operating costs and rebuild the initial $300,000 funding balance. The calculator tests both goals; actual distribution terms and a cash buffer remain to be agreed.
07 / LONG-TERM VISION
A scalable sales organization that creates lasting value for customers, representatives and owners.
Useful services, suitable insurance and reliable support.
A path from first sales to consistent production and capable team leadership.
Repeatable distribution, disciplined economics and the option to hold, partner or pursue a future exit.
PRODUCT PAYOUT CALCULATOR
Use the commission One True Way actually earns from the provider—not the customer premium or face amount. The $1,000 example comes from the founder; real product commissions remain blank until supplied.
| Level | Own-sale pay | Unused pool capacity | Other pay modeled | OTW before costs | OTW after allowances | 20% floor after allowances? |
|---|
Cost allowance should include company-funded leads/recruiting, administration and allocated overhead on the same per-sale or per-month basis. Reserves are held cash, not necessarily an accounting expense. Results are contribution estimates, not audited net profit. Zero allowances are a demonstration, not an operating forecast.
At a $1,000 provider payout, a Step 1 seller can receive $400. The remaining $400 of the $800 pool is the maximum available for all upline pay and bonuses combined. At Step 4, the seller already receives the full $800; no pool remains for an extra override.
A differential example—still a proposal—is $400 to the seller, $280 to a Leader, and $120 to an Owner: $800 total. Do not pay $400 + $680 + $800 on the same sale.
To retain 20% after all allowed costs, total producer/override pay must be no more than 80% of provider receipts minus those costs and reserves. This is an alternative to the founder’s fixed pool, not an automatic change. At Step 4, an $800 payout on $1,000 leaves no cost allowance while preserving $200 net.
Decide who absorbs chargebacks, whether commissions are earned or advanced, whether renewals use the same split, and how many leads/recruiting services are funded. No carrier rates or renewals are inferred here.
MONTH 6: SELF-FUNDING · MONTH 12: CAPITAL RESTORED
Model actual monthly provider commissions from both sales tracks. Premium and retail sales are not company commission revenue. The default $5,000 per agent is a modeling assumption—not a confirmed definition of rank volume.
Month-twelve cash = initial funding + twelve-month retained contribution − twelve-month expenses. The month-six test is separate: monthly contribution must cover monthly operating costs. Full funding can be returned only when that cash covers the original funding plus the chosen cash buffer, and the company never runs out of cash along the way.
At a $50,000 monthly budget, the year costs $600,000. Starting with $300,000 of funding, earning $600,000 of retained contribution pays that year’s expenses and leaves the original $300,000 available to return. The funding is not counted as a second expense. A zero cash buffer leaves no protection after repayment.
20% is a conservative retained-share scenario only if all payouts fit the 80% pool and variable costs do not reduce it further. Enter the weighted actual contribution percentage after producer pay, overrides, chargebacks and variable costs; deduct fixed costs only in the budget fields.
Provider cash receipts must be earned and realizable, not annualized promises or refundable advances treated as profit. Recurring account growth, churn, renewal schedules, collection lags and tax are not separately simulated. The six-month ramp is linear monthly average capacity; it is not a recruiting forecast.
Capital restoration is a business scenario, not a new repayment obligation. Founder loan treatment remains below. The $50,000 net-profit case is distinct from merely covering the $50,000 budget.
This panel is separate from company capital recovery. Enter only balances established in the signed loan documents. Payments to Data Driver Pro and other operating spend are not automatically personal debt.
Illustration assumes 36 equal end-of-month payments, a nominal annual rate of 9.99% divided by 12, no fees and no interest accrued before repayment starts. Actual note terms—including interest start, first payment date and rounding—must be agreed.
