Entering a Distributor

The first distributor in the company’s genealogy is always ID # 1. This is a system requirement.  The profile information can be edited for ID #1, however ID#1 is usually the company position and named accordingly.

Each new distributor entered in the ES 100 is associated with an Enroller and Sponsor.

Enroller: The Enroller is the person who enrolls the new distributor into the program.  The Enroller can be anywhere in the upline of a distributor.

Sponsor: The sponsor of a new distributor is the immediate first-level upline of the distributor placement in the genealogy.

Unless your program has a matrix genealogy, the enroller and sponsor will typically be the same distributor.  The ES 100 allows you to change the Enroller and Sponsor of a distributor.
