INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business growth by Odoo Multi Level Marketing!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing members in Affiliate Marketing are incentivized to promote and gather affiliates and bring on recruits into the business and earn bonuses. As a result, the business can grow and expand while reducing marketing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each affiliate can choose to enroll in Odoo Multi Level Marketing program and then receive a unique referral code. This referral code when used by another user to sign up for the MLM program lets the affiliate earn a bonus depending upon the set conditions.  Affiliates can earn bonuses like First Child Affiliate Bonus and Level Completion Bonus.  MLM Affiliates can only view the MLM tree below them and check their Bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admin can also approve or reject bonuses of each affiliate, invoice them, and set level commissions and bonuses from the backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
