MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FOLLOW-UPS
NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Jen Broas

MISSION VIEJO , CALIFORNIA , USA

FOR THE Family

Eight months pregnant with her second child , Jen Broas was researching the best essential oils for birthing . With her first pregnancy , she used some essential oils during labor and was hoping to find more information on essential oils to support her in her upcoming birth . During this process , she was invited to an essential oils class and accepted the invitation . She says , “ I walked into the class with all of my research papers , and I knew exactly what oils I needed for what , but as I sat there and listened , I realized , ‘ Wow , you can use these oils for a lot more than I thought you could .’” A couple days later , Jen enrolled .

Jen had been working in the corporate world of finance for 10 years prior to dōTERRA , but had a growing desire to leave her job and be home with her children . Her resolve to get out of her job helped her pursue the business more seriously . She says , “ After I had my son , I started learning about the business and enrolling people . It became a passion of mine because I wanted to help people , and I loved the oils so much . When it turned into a business for me , I started seeing the income , and I just decided to go all-in .”
Though Jen had the determination and desire to hit Diamond and leave her job , she worked both her dōTERRA business and corporate job for several years . This path was challenging , but the hope of greater family freedom inspired her to press through the struggles that accom - panied each rank . But through the difficulties and payouts , she was supported by her greatest fan club — her family .
When Jen decided to go to Diamond Club for her first time , her husband made several sacrifices so that Jen could pursue her dōTERRA vision . Jen ’ s first experience with Diamond Club helped her go from Gold to Platinum . She says , “ Diamond Club was definitely the driving point behind my rank advancement and was huge to me .” After such a positive experience with Diamond Club , she decided to go again , and once more , her husband was there to faithfully support her . She says , “ I know that was taxing on him and my family , but through it all , he has never stopped supporting me .”
Jen has now reached her goal of staying at home with her children and loves every minute of her family freedom . As a family , they can do more together , and Jen loves to include her family in her business wherever she can . She says , “ My children are dōTERRA children . They take oils to school , and they use them all of the time . We live a dōTERRA life , and I love the fact that it ’ s great for our whole family . My 6-year-old daughter and I are even getting ready to do classes together to tell other mommies how she uses her oils .”
Now that Jen is home with her family , she is working toward new goals of travel freedom , financial freedom , and making sure their children maintain their quality education through high school . Her dōTERRA experience has given her a new perspective on what she can accomplish , and she continues to press forward and show others that are feeling stuck that there is always a way into something greater . Jen says , “ Though getting to the position of Diamond was work , the freedom that it has given me and my family has been more than I could have asked for .”

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FOLLOW-UPS

DON ’ T STOP .
“ Never stop following up with people unless they say no . Follow-ups are really just staying in touch with the needs of the people you ’ ve sampled , staying in touch with the needs of the people around you , and then nurturing those relationships .”
BE NATURAL .
“ Sometimes you don ’ t want to follow up with them and talk about dōTERRA . Sometimes you want to follow up with them and ask about how their month is going . That , to me , is keeping in contact with everybody .”
MAKE A SPREADSHEET .
“ I maintain all of my follow-ups on a spreadsheet so that I know who I talk to , when I talk to them , how often I talk to them , and who is still in my pipeline . I add and take away from it all of the time . That way I can track how I ’ m keeping up with people .”
