New Member Tips

Welcome to Young Living! If you have been with us a while, keep reading. This is for you too. I’m getting close to my second anniversary with YL, and I’m still learning things, often the hard way. My goal is to give you a leg up and save you from making some of the mistakes I made. The following is a list of common mistakes or confusion for new members. Enjoy! Commission checks are issued once a month on the 20th for the previous month’s results. Virtual Office is available free of charge for all members. If you have a question, it will be answered here. There are all kinds of resources available as well. Make sure to check here or with your up line before opting for a call or live chat. Sponsor/Enroller When signing someone up, you will want to be both unless you want to help build up someone in your down line. In that case, you are still the enroller and your down line is the sponsor. Bonuses The kit bonus ($25) is available if you sign someone up with a premium starter kit as long as you have a 50pv order in for that month. They must order the kit in the same month they open the account. You also need 50pv to get fast start bonuses. You get 25% for the three months beginning when their account is created (not order placed). These 2 bonuses are paid to the enroller. Compression is a benefit offered in which a level 2 or lower person moves up because the person above them does not make a qualifying order. This is available for the unilevel commission (paid to sponsor). Ex: Sally’s OGV is 500pv, but she does not make a qualifying order of 100pv. Sally is in your first level. Guess who gets the check? You. Rising Star Team Bonus Before you start discouraging people from making qualifying orders, remember that compression only applies to unilevel commissions. In order to get the RST bonus, you must have 100ER, and you need 3 people on your level 1 to have 100 ER and 300 OGV each. This will give you 1 share, which is around $50. Essential Rewards Always check the day before it ships to make sure items haven’t gone out of stock. You need to select reduced shipping. Don’t let your points expire! When cashing in, you can only use them on items with a PV = $ value. Promotions These come automatically with qualifying orders. PV is sometimes different than $ amount. If you get a voucher, they usually expire in 3 months. You’ll find the number under “orders shipped”. They are applied at checkout for new members. If you get extra ER points, these will be given the following month. Promotions can only be earned in a single order. Team Structure It makes sense to help build up legs, but don’t be too hasty. You need 6 legs in order to get all the RST bonus shares, which will also set you up for Royal Crown Diamond. Executive and Silver require 2 strong legs; Gold requires 3. Try to motivate people on your first level, and don’t build deep until you have at least 2 serious legs. Policy We cannot market items as cures for disease. Many graphics out there are in violation. Don’t use them. The Desk Reference is a must have for all members. Educate yourself! EODR is available from Life Science Publishers. Also, homemade items with YL oils cannot be sold as YL products. They can only be sold if they are different than anything available from the catalog. Ex: bug spray is OK to make and sell as long as you keep the YL logo off.
