C’mon, It’s Time to Plant! Do Young Living Like Never Before Founder’s Message
As we gear up for the 2013 Spring Planting in late April at the Highland Flats and St. Maries farms, let’s look back on what you had to say about Young Living harvests.
We are so excited for the future of Young Living and are awed by the way this year is beginning! December was our highest sales month in history, and January was a “blazing” month of success and excitement. I hope you are feeling how much you are a part of this giant rolling tide of growth, as we affirm our place as the World Leader in Essential Oils®. Last year was monumentally successful. Because of your efforts and our unmatched products, we finished 2012 with the highest revenue quarter in our history. It was the most exhilarating and rewarding year of transformation. Never in the history of MLM has a company changed its marketing program and achieved a record year for growth. You are all part of that. You made it happen. We express our thanks and gratitude to all of you for diving into our new compensation plan and making such a smooth transition. Many inactive distributors are coming back into activity, and many who have not previously taught the plan are teaching others in their organisations. It is truly rewarding to see the growth, which we attribute to a positive attitude and commitment. Your potential for personal and business growth has never been higher. Because of our recent success, we are accelerating our global expansion. This year Young Living will officially open in Canada, Hong Kong, and Germany. Plan to attend, if possible. As Young Living grows, I urge you to find ways to grow your business. Maybe one of these new regions will be an exciting new realm for you. Our goals for Young Living are high, and you are the ones to make it happen. BELIEVE in that TRANSFORMATION and help make this the greatest year in our history!
Visit youngliving.com often for registration information for the 2013 Spring Planting at the Highland Flats and St. Maries farms in northern Idaho this April Young Living 2013 Winter Harvest participants Chris and Lisa Taylor, Brenda and Scott Schuler, Lula Schiller, Shelley and Kelly O’Hara, and Robyn and Randy Murrah took advantage of the tremendous opportunities the harvest experience brings to all who attend.
Robyn and Randy Murrah
Brenda and Scott Schuler
“I attended the Winter Harvest for the first time this year at the urging of Scott and Brenda Schuler. Frankly, I wasn’t too thrilled with the idea but thought it would be a good experience for my wife. Turns out, it was a very impactful experience for me. “Not only did I make several new friends, but I also learned a tremendous amount about Young Living, its leaders, and myself. I gained a much greater respect for the company and for what goes into these little bottles of oil. “Part of the experience of the harvest is having the opportunity to participate in any aspect of the process that may appeal to you. It enables you to be a part of something bigger; an opportunity to help gain a new perspective and understanding for what is involved in producing our oils. It is something impossible to understand until you’ve experienced it.”
“The combination of the beautiful mountains, aroma of the blue spruce, quality time to connect and learn from fellow distributors and Gary and Mary Young creates a magical experience that everyone should have. Wow! “Everyone who went with us this year, including three couples, went home with a new respect for Young Living and our oils. Brenda and I always talk about the importance of being a product of the product, and attending the harvest adds a new dimension that allows us to understand the products and processes in another way.”

Margaret Van Star
“I really had no idea what the Winter Harvest was all about, but because I was introduced to essential oils a short while ago, I thought it would be a tremendous learning experience. Little did I know what an overwhelming, life-changing experience it would be! To be able to see and participate firsthand in how the oils are produced and to be part of the process from start to finish is something I will never forget. “I truly urge everyone to participate in this wonderful experience.”
Crown Diamond
Chris and Lisa Taylor Silver
“This was the first year we attended the Winter Harvest, and it will not be the last. If I had to describe the harvest, I would call it an educational opportunity every distributor should have. “The harvest also opened my eyes to so much about Young Living. I appreciate Gary on a whole new level; his desire, dedication, drive, and passion are talked about often, but until you work with him for a week, you truly don’t understand what he does for all of us. “It is really hard to put this experience into words, but it is life changing, and I encourage everyone to come to a harvest for this experience.”

AS YOUNG LIVING researchers were investigating potential ingredients for the new NingXia Red formula, they came across an exciting ingredient: grape seed extract. Grape seed extract (GSE) is derived from whole grape seeds, is Kosher and Halal approved, and is also one of the largest natural depositories of polyphenols. NingXia Red utilises a premium GSE that is standardised to a minimum 90 percent total polyphenols and is shown in studies to be superior to other GSE. This structurally unique, watersoluble GSE has been selectively extracted to include a higher percentage of lower molecular weight polyphenols, which improves absorption and bioavailability. Its patented, water-based extraction process also ensures that the final ingredient remains chemical free. This powerhouse ingredient boosts NingXia Red’s ORAC score, adds polyphenols, and allowed for Kosher and Halal certification. When combined with essential oils and the wolfberry superfruit, GSE plays an important roll in NingXia Red’s promise to deliver a delicious, whole-body nutrient infusion for everyone to enjoy.

The Essential Rewards double-point promotion is running through April and is persuading many distributors to shift their orders to autoship.

Impact Your Income Today! I would like to personally thank all of those people who have attended the recent round of Business Training Sessions. They have gone exceptionally well with high attendances and some really positive feedback. Income Strategy The two most popular income strategies to have emerged from those training days are the development of Workshop Specialists plus developing a handful of Retail Customers with the purpose of getting your products for free within the first week of business. A. Workshop Specialists Often new people are attracted to the Young Living business because they love our products. However their ‘first-up’ training and education on the products has been quite complex and therefore unable to be easily duplicated. To better accommodate new people we have devised a ‘Product Discovery Program’ which is made up of 5 product programs targeted at new people. This product program will take the form of individual product workshops in the areas of; 1. Essential Oils Workshop 2. Nutrition Workshop 3. Weight Management Workshop 4. Household Product Workshop (aimed at transfer spending) 5. Skin Care and Personal Care Workshop This is a nice way of helping people to discover the Young Living products in a relaxed and social environment in small groups. The thesaurus defines a workshop as “usually a brief intensive educational program for a relatively

small group of people that focuses especially on techniques and skills in a particular field”. This describes perfectly what we want to do as the workshops are experiential in nature where people can try before they buy, get basic education on the products, have fun in a social environment, have techniques and skills demonstrated to them in each particular workshop category. Workshop Specialists will be people who are trained to run these very basic product workshops and they will be so easy to run, a brand new person would be able to do these themselves within weeks of starting their Young Living business. Because people in Young Living are passionate about the products we expect to see many people putting their hands up to be trained as Workshop Specialists. If you are interested in becoming a Workshop Specialist then please email events@youngliving.com. au and you will become a founding member of our Product Discovery Program. B. Retail Customers: Get your products for free! To make business development really simple we have devised a very simple business development ‘building block’. It comprises introducing three people who want to earn an income and then showing them how to develop a retail customer portfolio of 5 retail customers who collectively purchase 400 PV/ month from you. The purpose of this strategy is so that everyone can get their products for free within their first week of business, rather than paying wholesale price.
Here is what happens to your PV and income if you combine both strategies. C. Impact of Workshops and Retail Customers on Your Income and Rank I will use an Executive Rank scenario and then you can apply the same principles to your own business; Currently an Executive Rank with 40 people in their business Workshop Impact on Your Income Train 20 of the 40 people in your business to become Workshop Specialists and teach them to run 1 workshop/week each. In test workshops 6-8 guests resulted in 500 PV/workshop. Impact on monthly income = 20 workshops X 4/month X 500 PV = 40,000 points (PV) Retail Customer Impact on Your Income 40 people with a handful of Retail Customers purchasing 400 PV each month, not only helps you get your products for free, but impacts your PV as follows: 40 people X 400 PV/month = 16,000 points (PV). If you combine both strategies you are generating 56,000 points/month. You have just jumped from Executive to Gold (by passing Silver along the way). You only need 35,000 points for Gold. At 56,000 points you are SOLID Gold! Who would like to get recognised as a Silver and Gold all at the same recognition function? It has been done before; so why not you? Alasdair McBryde National Sales Manager
