Starting this series on Poised Avenue has been up in the air for a little bit. I contemplated whether or not you guys would appreciate it or even read it. So, if you’re here… thank you! I love these types of posts from other bloggers, whether they do something similar, freelance, or own a brick & mortar. I find inspiration in reading about their success and I will honestly say I enjoy being a *bit* nosey. Plus, this will give me a way to look back on my past successes, failures, and growth.
This month, I am going to share a quick overview of the last four months. But typically, I will just share the most recent month’s details. Let’s get into it!
First off, let me explain a few abbreviations to make reading a lot easier for you. PV stands for personal volume and is basically the amount you personally spend for the month. It can include your kit order, quick orders placed, and/ or essential rewards orders. OGV stands for organization group volume, which represents your orders as well as your teams orders. PV & OGV typically equal dollar amounts spent, but not always. In Young Living, there are multiple ranks you can hit as a member. Each rank has different compensation percentages and are based on your OGV. ER stands for essential rewards, which is a monthly rewards program through Young Living (it’s my fav). ER points are the points you get for being on ER. The percentage of points you get per order goes up the longer you’re on ER. 1 ER point = $1 you can spend on the Young Living website.

(This was the month I bought my kit and was SO excited for it! I went into it knowing I wanted to do the business because I saw a friend of mine doing it, having fun, and being so successful.

i’m just starting to get into essential oils – need a good brand though – the one i bought just isn’t very potent?
Amanda says
That was the problem I had with the brand I first used too. Young Living doesn’t even compare to my old oils… they are SO much better! I love them!
