“Following up is being kind. Getting someone on the Loyalty Rewards Program can change their life. It is nourishing and generous to help people develop deeper roots in their oil experience. I’ve gained confidence in my follow-up when my motivation is caring for people.”—Heidi Rhys FINDING POTENTIAL BUILDERS “I bought $1700 worth of essential oils today!” she told him. Tyler gave her an incredulous look, then replied with a simple, “I hope that works out for you.” Heidi looks back on this ironic moment with fondness, grateful that Tyler has always been willing to let her follow her dreams. A few days passed before Heidi’s kit arrived, and in that time she started second-guessing her purchase. When her box finally arrived, she was reluctant to open what she thought would amount to be some very expensive cleaners. However, as soon as she opened the box, the smell of the oils overwhelmed her senses. “I felt it in my gut,” she says. “I felt the difference from the other products I had been buying, and my body seemed to be telling me that I needed these bottles. My family needed them. People I knew and loved needed them.” “While I still love educating people about oils, I have developed a real passion for sharing the business. Here are some of my tips for finding great future leaders.” Look for individuals you love to spend time with and can see yourself working alongside. A good relationship is a great starting point. Invite potential builders to a three-way call with you and one of your uplines. I call these business exploratory calls. Let them hear your upline’s experience and the real numbers. It will make the possibilities seem within reach. Speak from your heart and share the ways in which your life has changed. The numbers and structure—while powerful—are likely less compelling than your genuine desire to bless this person’s life. While Heidi had never intended to sell the oils, those first few weeks with the oils in her home gave her an infectious joy and natural confidence to share these amazing products. One inspired decision to invest in natural wellness propelled her into a business venture that changed not only her life and her family’s life, but thousands of other lives as well. “I was completely happy with my life as a stay-at-home mom, but the oils brought me a new perspective. Now I lead an organization of nearly 5,000 in the most meaningful work I can imagine. The empowerment I found as a leader is one of the sweet, sweet aspects of this beautiful company that I will never get tired of sharing.” Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
