Though impressive, these milestones are hardly surprising for the company’s employees and executives; Young Living has long been a frontrunner in its field and has developed a global reputation for a commitment to quality and positive member experience.
2013 was the best year in Young Living’s history, with the company experiencing remarkable growth month after month and exceeding its aggressive growth and profitability goals. The fourth quarter in particular was record smashing and continued Young Living’s incredible momentum into 2014. Company membership also experienced a dramatic increase consistent with sales growth.
“We have 20 years of experience as a company and plan to remain the world leader in essential oils by reinvesting our unprecedented revenue increase back into the company,” said Young Living Chief Operating Officer Travis Ogden. “Led by our visionary Founder and CEO, D. Gary Young, we are absolutely committed to continued investment in our unique Seed to Seal® process, which sets us apart in the industry. We’re developing new products, establishing new farms across the globe, creating more inspiring member experiences, and opening new markets. Our tremendous momentum from 2013 means all of our efforts are being accelerated as we move closer to our mission of bringing Young Living Essential Oils to every home in the world.”
