Network Marketing is a business model in which a distributor network is needed to build the business. Independent distributors sell directly to customers.
Slide Purpose: Describe the basics of network marketing.
Network marketing is a form of direct selling. It is a business model that is often used to sell products that tend to be more niche and higher quality.

21. DISPELLING THE MYTHS YOU
Q: Why is it called Multi-level Marketing? A: Because commissions are paid out at many levels within the distribution network. “I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts.” - J. Paul Getty
Slide Purpose: Dispel the main myths about multi-level marketing and to differentiate between legal, legitimate business models and illegal scam pyramid and Ponzi schemes.
Q: Why is it called Multi-level Marketing?
A: Because commissions are paid out at many levels within the distribution network.
Jean Paul Getty KBE (December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976) was an American industrialist.
He founded the Getty Oil Company, and in 1957 Fortune magazine named him the richest living American, while the 1966 Guinness Book of Records named him as the world's richest private citizen, worth an estimated $1.2 billion (approximately $8.8 billion in 2015). At his death, he was worth more than $2 billion (approximately $8.3 billion in 2015).
A book published in 1996 ranked him as the 67th richest American who ever lived, based on his wealth as a percentage of the gross national product.
J. Paul inherited a mere $500,000 of the $10 million fortune his father George had left at the time of his death. Just before he died in 1930, George Franklin Getty said that Jean Paul would ultimately destroy the family company.
Shrewdly investing his resources during the Great Depression, Getty acquired Pacific Western Oil Corporation, and he began the acquisition (completed in 1953) of the Mission Corporation, which included Tidewater Oil and Skelly Oil. In 1967 the billionaire merged these holdings into Getty Oil.
Beginning in 1949, Getty paid Ibn Saud $9.5 million in cash and $1 million a year for a 60-year concession to a tract of barren land near the border of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. No oil had ever been discovered there, and none appeared until four years had passed, and $30 million had been spent. From 1953 onward, Getty's gamble produced 16,000,000 barrels (2,500,000 m3) a year, which contributed greatly to the fortune responsible for making him one of the richest people in the world.
Getty increased the family wealth, learning to speak Arabic, which enabled his unparalleled expansion into the Middle East. Getty owned the controlling interest in nearly 200 businesses, including Getty Oil.

22. DISPELLING THE MYTHS YOU
Q: What’s the difference between legal multi- level marketing companies and illegal pyramid schemes? A: There are many legal and well-known multi-level marketing companies that have existed for decades. They are legal because they have real customers and they sell real products. The bulk of the distributor earnings is from product sales to customers. Pyramid schemes generate sales by signing up more distributors and there are few real customers. Ponzi schemes don’t even sell products – they are simply a fraudulent scheme to move money up the chain.

Note: This slide has a lot of text. It is intentional as it is important that the difference between legal MLMs and illegal pyramid schemes is described correctly.
98% of Young Living members are just customers. They aren’t building a business and looking to be a distributor. They are involved because they love the essential oils.
Many pyramid schemes have few customers. It is considered an illegal pyramid scheme if the customers make up less than 70% of the network and the financial rewards for signing up a distributor is greater than the rewards for generating product sales.

24. DISPELLING THE MYTHS YOU
Q: Does it matter how many levels are between me and the top of the multi-level distribution network? A: No it doesn’t. Your business and it’s success will be determined by you. What may influence your success is the direct support you get from your sponsor.

A: No it doesn’t. Your business and it’s success will be determined by you. What may influence your success is the direct support you get from your sponsor.
In illegal pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes the only people who are making money are the ones at the top of the pyramid, because in a Ponzi scheme the money is earned to people at the top of the pyramid by getting people in at the bottom of the pyramid to hand over their money into an “investment” – but there is actually no investment and they never see their money again.

Slide Purpose: Designed to be a light-hearted slide after the serious questions.
Seriously, though, most corporate hierarchies are set up in a pyramid, with the CEO at the top of the organizational chart, cascading down through VPs, then Managers and Workers. Schools are headed by the principal, with teachers reporting up. Governments have a Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers and Parliament.

29. What to look for Products that interest you.
Quality consumable products
Ethical business practices
Solid corporate reputation
Minimal inventory and product requirements
Fair compensation plan and great corporate support
Slide Purpose: What are the best types of network marketing companies:
Quality Products – Seed to Seal ensure quality products and a competitive advantage over other similar companies
Consumable - The company has a product or service that can be used more than once so you will have repeat business. If it is a consumable item and they like it then your customer will want more.
Ethical business practices – A Ranking with Better Business Bureau in the USA. Has been applied for in Canada and is pending verification.
Solid Reputation – Expertise in the industry and product they are providing
Minimal inventory and product requirements – ‘Front End loading’ discourages people from getting involved. Young Living has no mandatory up-front commitment although buying the starter kit is recommended to be able to use and talk about the products with authority… and who wouldn’t want to use the essential oils for themselves anyway.
Fair Compensation Plan – Young Living has one of the best compensation plans in the MLM industry. See other YLU courses for more information.

33. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
One of the greatest benefits, aside from the flexible lifestyle and income opportunities is the personal development.
You are 100% accountable for your success.
Find that inner motivation and drive to succeed.
Stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone.
Fulfill your dreams and give back.
With the support of coaching and mentoring.
Slide Purpose: Highlight further benefits of being involved with Young Living as a network marketing business.
You are 100% accountable for your success – the harder you work to find more customers and distributors the bigger your business becomes and the more you’ll earn. There is no limit.
Find that inner motivation and drive to succeed – the only thing that will hold you back is your imagination to dream a bigger dream. (See YLU course – “Broaden and Build”)
Stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone – all successful people get comfortable being uncomfortable. When you stretch yourself you grow an learn.
Fulfill your dreams and give back – once you have everything you need and want you are in the perfect position to give back. Having a successful MLM business means that at some point you will create residual income without incremental work. This gives you the time as well to be able to give back.
With the support of coaching and mentoring – MLMs are not competitive from the perspective that you are not competing with other Young Living distributors for a customer. When you are successful promoting Young Living and it has a greater public profile, it enhances the overall brand. In the long run this is better for all Young Living distributors. Therefore it is in the best interests of every Young Living distributor to coach and support others.

35. Start with why
When you think about Young Living, what resonates with you?
Slide Purpose: Allow participants to think about the products, or the company or integrity and understand how Young Living fits with their own values.
Use the handout to write down thoughts.
Ask a prompting question like…
“What’s important to you in your life?”
“Do you see the same in Young Living?”
First ask the participants their values. When an individual sees alignment between their values and the values of the company they work for or are associated with they feel a stronger connection.

The principles behind our mission statement have always been the top priority for Young Living Founder D. Gary Young. He won’t rest until his unique message and essential oil-infused products have been taken to every home in the world.
Young Living’s commitment to quality starts with seeds. The seeds we use are selected for their ability to become botanicals with high levels of bioactive compounds.
We then grow the seeds using cultivation practices that are dedicated to responsible and sustainable growing and harvesting methods.
Next, we distill using a gentle, proprietary technique for steam extracting essential oils and preserving their precious constituents.
To guarantee consistent, verifiable quality, our oils are tested in Young Living’s own internal labs, as well as in third-party facilities.
Finally, each essential oil is carefully bottled and labeled using state-of-the-art equipment.
To ensure that Young Living is able to control every step of the Seed to Seal process, we own a number of farms and partner or co-op with many others around the world. Gary Young personally travels the globe to scout farms that offer ideal conditions for growing premium botanicals. This personal, direct involvement in the growing process is what allows us to ensure that each product delivered is of the highest quality and what our members around the world have come to expect.
