“Doing the basics of the business is the single reason I reached Diamond. I never stopped teaching and enrolling.” NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Wilbur & Jessica Andrews CLIFTON HEIGHTS, PENNSYLVANIA, USA J FREEDOM TO SHARE essica Andrews advanced from Gold to Diamond in one month—skipping the rank of Platinum and propelling her business forward in a way she didn’t expect. Her journey with dōTERRA as a whole has been one she didn’t foresee. When she was introduced to dōTERRA in a small Facebook group a few years ago, she didn’t plan to build a business. However, once Jessica tried using the oils for her family’s seasonal issues and experienced impressive results, she couldn’t resist sharing. As she has shared the oils and built her business, Jessica’s Why has evolved. She explains, “At first, I wanted to simply cover my new oil addiction. Then I wanted to pay some bills. Then I wanted to replace my income and quit my job. Now I want to bring my husband home from work; I want to give him the opportunity to do something he loves.” Jessica is grateful for her husband’s ongoing encouragement and advice, as well the support of her family, friends, upline, and downline. Jessica’s family has always been at the core of her purpose. She loves being able to support her children’s health with the oils, and she is passionate about sharing this opportunity with others. “I want everyone to have these oils. They are truly life changing! I love empowering other moms with natural solutions. It is so empowering to be able to help your children with something natural in a world full of toxins and chemicals.” Another powerful motivation that pushes Jessica forward is helping her leaders reach their goals. She says, “I feel like a proud mama when they succeed and reach their goals.” One unique aspect of Jessica’s team is that they are largely local. Her frontline leaders all live within 20 minutes of Jessica, and her close-knit “Freedom Tribe” is located nearby as well. This has presented both advantages and challenges for Jessica in building her business. “I had thought about doing Diamond Club in the past, but I could never qualify because my team and our customers are all extremely close to home. I would love to expand my team through the US, but there is something so great about having my team right here!” As Jessica looks forward to her next goals in building her business and expanding her team, she is amazed at all of the changes dōTERRA has already brought to her life. One of the biggest is the birth of her second son, Jonathan. She explains, “In my previous job, my husband and I felt we couldn’t afford another child with our combined income. Between the cost of daycare and school tuition, it would have been an extreme stretch. Now, not only can we afford two children, but I get to be home with the baby as long as I want and enjoy time with my five-year- old, who will start kindergarten in the fall. This is just one of the many examples of freedom I get to experience because of this business.” With a passion for sharing the benefits of the oils and the freedom brought by the business opportunity, Jessica is eager to see where her future in dōTERRA takes her. FOLLOW-UP TIPS SHARE FROM THE HEART “Be genuine and share from the heart. I truly believe these products can help people. When you share from a place of love, people will trust you.” 10 ASK IN ADVANCE “I end conversations by asking if it’s okay if I follow up in a few days. This way I already have permission to follow up, and they are expecting it.” dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2017 SPARK A POSITIVE ANSWER “I like to follow up by asking, ‘What is your favorite oil?’ This opens up a positive answer and leads to a positive discussion.” HELP PEOPLE USE THEIR OILS “Most customers won’t open their oils and use them without some education and guidance. If I don’t follow up, their money is wasted and their oils collect dust.” Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
