A PASSION FOR GIVING BACK
Melody Brandon ’ s interest in dōTERRA didn ’ t start with a desire for a new business opportunity . As the co-owner of a successful bakery , Melody already had plenty on her plate . Instead , her interest in dōTERRA started with a desire for natural health solutions during her first pregnancy . She saw mentions of essential oils in various sources during her research , but it wasn ’ t until a firsthand experience that she became more earnest . “ My sisterin-law used dōTERRA essential oils with her children during a family vacation , and I was sold . This first experience was important because they ’ re my family and I trust them .”
From there , Melody came into contact with essential oils again from a woman at her church . She decided to host a class immediately after receiving her first kit , and it was at this class that she learned about the business opportunity . Thanks to her bakery ’ s success and her substantial following on social media , Melody hosted several classes and parties , quickly propelling her to
Premier . At this time , however , Melody didn ’ t think of dōTERRA as a long-term business option ; her bakery was doing very well and she invested her time there , as well as with her husband and two young children .
About one year ago , that all changed . Melody ’ s upline invited her to attend dōTERRA Leadership Retreat , and although she was only able to participate for one day , she was blown away . “ I saw that dōTERRA could be a real business , so I decided to go for it .” With this change in her outlook , Melody advanced from Silver to Diamond in one year .
Building her dōTERRA business meant a lot of hard work . “ When I was pushing for Diamond , I knew that achieving my goal might mean losing some balance in my life for a while . I know how to work hard , and I was inspired by my upline . I knew it was possible but that it would take effort . Now I can pass the baton and help my team build and become leaders .”
In addition to helping others build their businesses , Melody ’ s Why includes empowering moms like her . “ I know there are other moms who feel like I did — powerless in our options to help our children . When I found essential oils , I felt empowered and in control with my daughter ’ s health . I share out of love to help moms feel empowered with natural solutions .” Melody also loves the flexibility dōTERRA allows in her business and family life . “ I like the idea of a business that I can work on at night or while my kids nap . I can grow it over time based on my desires . I love helping other women find this too .”
For Melody , it ’ s all about giving back now . She wants to empower mothers , she is dedicated to helping her team build , she looks forward to teaching her children about the power of hard work , and she is excited to give back to others . “ It ’ s a blessing to be able to help people . Pouring my heart and soul into something and then being able to give back is what drives me .”
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Keep It Customer Focused
“ Help each person connect the dots between their health goals and how the oils can help . They need to see the real impact in their own life . Everyone is different ; some people like watching videos , and others like oneon-one meetings . I find the support that each person needs .”
Keep It Convenient
“ I have a lot of informational videos on Facebook that teach people about essential oils and about their accounts . This prevents me from losing my voice from doing so many video chats , and it also makes it convenient for people who want to learn more when it fits their schedule .”
Keep It Simple
“ When sharing the products , don ’ t overwhelm people , especially if they don ’ t know anything about essential oils . At the beginning , I focus on the top 10 essential oils and help them understand how to use them so they know that the kit won ’ t just sit in a cupboard .”
