NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND René Hanebutt CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA R FOR THE TEAM René highlights, “I want my downline to be friends in the truest sense of the word. I’m building an organic com- munity where they see each other as key elements of a support system. I’ve purposefully instilled in my team the belief that they are allies rather than competitors.” As these relationships grow, she affirms, “These individuals as a team are what allowed me to be Diamond.” ené Hanebutt is excited to achieve Diamond, yet her approach to this accomplishment reveals a, “Yes, but…” thought process. For René, Diamond is just a stepping stone on her way to Presidential Diamond. “I’m enthusiastic to hit Diamond, but I’ll be truly satisfied when I reach Presidential Diamond and beyond,” she declares with a big smile. “That’s when I’ll celebrate.” Emphatically, René admits, “For now, I’m happier and more fulfilled as I witness what my team members are accomplishing.” This is characteristic of René. As a former athlete and coach, René understands the importance of creating a strong, cohesive team. Since she first started building with dōTERRA, she has focused on gathering “players” who are committed to helping and challenging each other. “My qualifiers have been absolutely fantastic. I have a really strong group of exceptional individuals whom I love and trust. We’re all in this together, and we understand that it’s a collaborative effort.” This was highlighted when René attended Leadership Retreat this spring—with her core team by her side. For Others From the time when René began her dōTERRA business, she has concentrated not only on configuring a robust team around her, but also on discovering ways she can bless others through her professional success. One big dream that drives her is her desire to help underprivileged families in Mexico. René says, “My long-term goal is to provide educational and employment opportunities to people there, especially women and children. I want to support those who are living in the shadows, the disadvantaged. I have several friends in that beautiful country, and this aspiration has been on my heart for a long time.” G O I N G Go all in. “Go all in at the very beginning. dōTERRA is the perfect organization for this type of business strategy. Don’t play small. Trust your gut! This is fundamental to a successful mindset in network mar- keting. Sample your friends and family intentionally and often, and ask for refer- rals. Learn as much as you can, but don’t think you need to know everything. This is a great business to learn by doing.” 74 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY / JUNE 2018 “A L L “Going all in with dōTERRA has ignited my passion for people and their wellbeing. It has proven to be more satisfying, surprising and stimulating than I ever imagined.” For dōTERRA Customers In addition to providing opportunities to people in Mexico, René is committed to helping everyone she can through dōTERRA products. This has been one of the emphases of her team—helping others find the solutions they need to improve their health and wellbeing using products that are safe, natural, and effective. “In our organization, we strive to sample each person before they even come to a class. We want to give them a clear idea of how essential oils can transform their lives and what they can do for them. If we give them one sample and they don’t get the results they want, we give them another until they are truly satisfied. We sincerely want to help people improve their quality of life by finding relief and healing.” Through this strategic process of sampling and assisting people, René centers on developing good relationships with customers, who sometimes end up eagerly sharing or building the business. For René, going “all in” with dōTERRA will always have the goal of doing it for her team and the people they can serve through essential oils, financial support, and genuine relationships. I N” Stand out. “I try to do things to stand out from other businesses. One of these things is being personal. I like to follow up with phone calls because the connection with the other person is more holistic. You can communicate beyond words with tone and inflection, and thoughts and feelings are more present in the con- versation. If I enroll someone who isn’t local, I also like using Zoom calls to build a personal relationship.” Find influencers. “When you’re be- ginning your dōTERRA business, you need to find people who will do it with you. Find the influencers in your life and have them join you. This way, you’ll get to Diamond faster and you’ll be doing it with people who are as committed and capable as you are.” Results not typical.
