Customers are not eligible to earn commissions by reselling YL products or via enrolling customers or Brand Partners. A customer can convert to being a Brand Partner by purchasing a Business Essentials Kit.
Customer Earnings: A commission of 24% of sales volume generated by Customers to their sponsors.
Downline Organization: The total number of Members (Distributors and Customers) enrolled under you, beginning with your first level and continuing to infinite levels.
Enroller: The person who personally introduces a new customer to Young Living. They are the one who receives the fast start bonus. You can however change the sponsor – this is called placement. As long as you remain the enroller, you will get your fast start bonus.
Fast Start Bonus: A Bonus paid in addition to all other commissions and bonuses. This bonus has two parts: 1) You earn 25% on your newly enrolled Distributor’s first three months’ PV (with a maximum payout amount of $200 per enrollee per month), and 2) Should that new Distributor enroll a new Distributor, you earn 10% of that new Member’s PV for their first three months.
Generation: A generation consists of all Members in one leg of a downline organization between two Silver (or higher rank) Distributors. The generation begins with a Silver and extends down to, but does not include the next Silver or above. The next generation begins with the next Silver Distributor in that same leg in the downline organization. Generations are not limited by levels and may extend virtually to infinite levels of depth in a leg where no other Silver Distributors appear in the downline organization.
Generation Bonus: A Bonus paid in addition to all other commissions and bonuses to Distributors who have achieved the rank of Silver or above. When you become a Silver, you are qualified to receive this Bonus on three generations: the first pays 2%, the next two pay 3%. Each successively higher rank adds another generation on which you are paid: Gold = four, Platinum = five, Diamond = six, Crown Diamond = seven, and Royal Crown Diamond = eight. Generations two through seven are paid at 3%. Generation eight is 1%. If no Silver (or higher) appears in a leg, the bonus is paid on the entire leg as far as it goes.
Generation Leadership Bonus: One of four Share Pool Bonuses, this Bonus is equal to 6% of the month’s Share Pool, and is paid out in shares according to your paid-as rank for the month and on the leaders in your organization on which you earn Generation Bonus commissions.
