INCOME-PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
AKA "IPAS"
Getting people enrolled is the first thing you need to do to grow your business, and it's the thing you'll keep doing at each rank, and beyond. The recipe is always the same.

This recipe comes in the form of the 3 main IncomeProducing Activities (or IPAs):
1. GET PEOPLE ENROLLED 2. GET PEOPLE ORDERING & ON ESSENTIAL REWARDS 3. GET PEOPLE SHARING
IPA #1: ENROLL
The whole idea is to share Young Living with friends, family, people in your community, people online, or new acquaintances. Start conversations. Love on people. Share your enthusiasm. Be excited about Young Living!
Your job is find creative, authentic, and consistent ways to present the opportunity of YL to people. Some people you'll connect with through social media and some in person.
connecting in person
CLASSES IN YOUR COMMUNITY / VENDOR EVENTS / GETTING TOGETHER 1 ON 1 / SHARING SAMPLES / PLAY DATES / GIRLS' NIGHTS / MAKER FAIRS / COFFEE DATES / MAKE+TAKES connecting from your phone
INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / PINTEREST / YOUTUBE / TEXT / EMAIL / FACETIME / ZOOMS / CALLS
IPA #2: GET PEOPLE ORDERING
Equally important to getting people enrolled, is getting people on Essential Rewards (ER) and ordering regularly. This is important for two reasons.
1. ER is the only real measuring stick to your teams impact. They're swapping products + making changes. Plus it's the most economical way to get their products and FREE stuff!
2. ER is the most sustainable way to grow your business and creates residual income.
IPA #3: GET PEOPLE SHARING
This is the real magic. As of today, in our team of over 6,000 members, I have about 80 personally enrolled members still active. Why? Because I have invested almost all of my energy into helping others in my team build their businesses.
If you will full embrace IPA #3, your team will grow so much faster. This is where the bulk of your growth and numbers will come from.
One of the best ways is to encourage people to share early!
Always provide them their enrollment link immediately. Offer to come teach a class for them, or host an online event that they can invite people to, or whatever the method is. Enrolling is a part of membership - make it simple and normal from the start. You're simply providing your member their referral member, which in turn will allow them to make money and discount their health products.

Once they understand how simple this business is, they're likely to jump in and start naturally sharing. People share what they love.
Share the income disclosure statement with people.
Remind them that this is a real opportunity, real numbers, and an amazing company to get behind.
Your goral is to get builders to silver asap!
They could hit silver with 80-120 members. That's them enrolling 12 who enroll 10 each within the first few weeks of the business, they could literally hit silver that fast! When people hit silver, that is when the real income begins! Get your people to silver ASAP by making this business fun and simple. Mary Young says, "I love the rank of Silver. It means you caught the tail of the comet. The sky is the limit.
Get people to in person events!
Events build leaders! People walk away a better person than they came and totally prepared with the mindset and the tools to take their business to a whole new level. Whenever you see a team event figure out a way to get there! The connection and community from being in person is intangible; people come for the products, but stay for the community. Young Livings Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah is hands down an non-negotiable and one of the most powerful events! Save the date because it happens in the middle of June every year! Our team goes for 5 to 7 days and its so much fun, not to mention we get to visit our Mona, Utah farm and witness Seed to Seal first hand!
OTHER INCOME-PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
Be sure to do some sort of key activity every day. These things can include:
Writing out a list of people you know (this doesn't mean you contact everyone, it just means you’re getting people out of your head and onto paper, which makes room to remember MORE people you forgot you knew). Download the “Memory Jogger” by Eric Worre and follow his steps to building your list. Am I reaching out to new people and making new connections daily? Did I talk about the business at least 1-2 times a week through my social and thoughtful written posts? Have I gone LIVE or shown my face in my stories consistently? Did I post at least once a day on my social platforms with thoughtful value? Did I invite qualified leads to an even or make an offer to join? Did I make an effort to come to come to my team calls? Did I engage with my followers on THEIR social platforms by leaving meaningful comments? Did I discredit my warm market because I think their "dead" and "tapped out"? Am I speaking with BOLD + UNAPOLOGETIC belief when I talk about the products and business opportunity? Did I expand into my target market by following new people and starting new conversations? Did I follow up with people who showed interest in the product or business? Am I coming to my income activity with "robot/uninspired" energy? Was I unattached to the answers in my sales conversations? Am I in belief that people in my audience want what I have to offer? Did I host an online event with belief, confidence and conviction? Did I post/talk consistently about my business or product in my instagram stories daily? Did I take time to network with people that I see face to face? Did I stick to my business hours and my focused work time? Have I sent an appreciation message to my recent customers? Send written notes and/or a little gift/sample of a new product to members (especially those who aren’t ordering regularly). Have I connected with 0 PV members? Have I looked in my virtual office to find missing or unprocessed ER orders and have I reached out to the member to let them know/help them get it sorted?
